    "Find a lover" Is just creepy, hands down. Even with the age option, would not even matter (because people are full of lies). It is more convenient to remove the age and find a lover option. Finding a lover on the net is as smart as brushing your teeth with bleach. You don't know the person behind the computer.

    I am pretty sure that a first sin (cant name names) in Kylin on harshlands server was the dirving force behind this useless and really creepy addition to PWI.

    The Perfect Match system is in no way meant to be used other than in-game matching system based on the answers provided by the players. Any attempt to use the system in a manner that is illegal or against the Terms of Service is strictly prohibited.

    Please remember this is an MMORPG. Role playing is part of the game play. We also have logs of everything so if you plan on using the system to prey on people we will find you. b:angry

    Providing the option to role play as a minor seeking a lover is a terrible idea for any company to promote. This places the utility, the game, and ultimately PWRD in a sketchy light. Even legitimate dating sites have an 18+ requirement..

    Can you imagine what a field day the press would have with this story if it were made known? This is such a bad idea that I'm even worried for you guys.

    ...in an extremely twisted way, that's almost the best thing they can do. Think about it... press equals publicity, publicity equals more players. >_> Aaaaand we're kinda hurting for players right about now.

    I'm not saying I endorse that in any way (not the least of which because of all the weirdos who are likely to show up). I'm just saying it sounds like something PWE would do. XD

    Since it is optional, don't use it. Problem solved.

    Though having logs of everything, you would think they would find the bots, but then I guess that's like finding the needle in a needlestack

    From what I hear though, not everything is bad, and it seems PWE is finally implementing *some* things people have wanted like access to EG items, various skills, and some new content, albeit content that needs a little bit of work, future NW map shrinkage, etc.

    f:sweat Well is optional and imo as most of the things has its ups and downs. I had fun with the "find a lover system" with my friends from faction (and not only) sending them the auto message... but then again am not an underage person. I find it quite creepy to match kids...even tho kids are not that childish anymore nowadays...I mean rly u think is worse then what they post on facebook?
    On the other hand some girl with who I never spoke ,for no reson, pm'ed me and we ended up chatting for like 3 hours...and now she's in my friend list.
    As everything around it matters the way WE are going to use it... if u wanna be a creep then ye it will be ur fault for the fail , if u are going to use it for its meaning then go ahead and make some friends. Nobody says u are going to marry them in real after u pm them.Also all this thing looks optional, nobody is forcing you to use them.
    If they remove the people that are less then 18yo who will say they won't fake the answers? I mean we all know they will do :D
    Too much drama...as always f:scaredf:angry

    Marriage in mmo is Role Playing, while this matching system is like an Online Dating Service.

    I can see the future of PWI in hands of lawsuit when someone will be abusing this dating service especially with the under 18 option why? Because this update has make online predator easier to catch their preys.

    Thanks PW, without you I wouldn't know I should be dating the people I'd probably throw drinks at in real life. b:chuckle

    The friend feature is alright.

    Also, yes, not PWE's job to babysit your teens, if you think they needed that feature to find trouble you're deluding yourself..

    Its not drama its true.

    This really isn't needed, a blatant "under 18 option" and "lover".

    Im under 18 and looking for a lover?

    in the US if you are under 18 you are considered a minor and if this thing is used for the wrong reason that wouldn't be good.

    Wow, lol. This is just totally unnecessary xD
    Everyone knows that as long as you are r9rr, getting 'love' in PWI is easy.
    Now people may not need r9rr to get 'love' cause you made it easier.
    Another bad business decision! xD

    I quite enjoy this new system. I was slightly skeptical about it at first with the "Find Lover" part, but then I realized that you don't have to even have that option selected. I tried it out and found a friend, which funny enough, made a joke earlier about being spammed because of their interesting character name. It turned out to be a really fun experience.

    The Find Lover part is completely optional, along with everything else. Anyone under 18 (or those who just don't want to be spammed for "e-love") could easily uncheck that box when filling out their information, or just completely avoid it entirely. And for those creeps that use the Find Friend or Find Mentor to harass people, I'm sure there's some way to either blacklist or printscreen and get someone banned for harassment. b:victory

    Really people, does everything have to be a drama fest?

    What if this new thing is Role Playing as well??? PWI never mentioned that this is now real thing and you have to meet these dates in real life etc. And about marriage, its same thing. Those who get ''married'' here, other can be under 18 and other can be 30+. Be logical now.
