You remind me of kids who do nothing but cry, whine, and carry on until they get what they want. Bottom line is this: It doesn't matter that PWI is the American version of PW. This game is based in China, and they don't allow **** marriages, embraces, or any homosexual activity in their game. Don't like it? Play another game.
And in case anyone is wondering, I voted no. Can't really explain or go into detail without violating the TOS or without pissing anyone off. Plus, having to resort to using cuss words to get your point across is childish and immature.
Plus if we're gonna talk about people's rights, I'd rather have the right to freedom of speech implemented first and foremost. Too many times do I see threads deleted and closed just because the powers that be didn't agree with the persons opinion.
Its not that they won't allow it, people just disagree with it. Like is said, I play a shooting game on a Chinese server. I kill thousands of people a day. Thus using YOUR logic, I'm a mass murderer. Besides, there is NO legal contract when two people get married in game making this official. So no law is being broken.
And you can't explain why you voted no? Is it because I totally shot down everything you could say against it? There is no reason to be against this besides that you hate ****. Which means you're hating a group of people for something they believe in/do. And don't even bring up terrorist, i've heard people compare the two. Terrorists blow us up, so we blow them up. **** people are NOT effecting your life in any way. (Just and FYI)
Thank you for bringing up the freedom of speech. I'm using mine to fight for same-sex marriage. XDMoonUsagi - Heavens Tear wrote: »I don,t really care b:thanks about these, but it must be pain full if you can't be with person you like.
(i vote don't really care though)
b:irritated I am a chinese and people on my place likes chinese food even though they not chinese, don't say something like this.
i am not in china or vietnam though.
Btw these thread got so many reply in no time.

No, never said according to my logic you'd be a mass murderer. That's like saying everyone who plays this game is a mass murderer because they kill enemies and other players. No, the reasons why I cannot explain myself is because you shot me down. Explaining myself would force me to go into issues and topics that are against the TOS. If you still have no idea what I'm talking about, go read the TOS. It's the same as you stating your side and having people talk smack about it. I'm simply stating my side and am getting the same reaction.
My main point is this thread is pointless. The GM's have stated NUMEROUS times that the devs will never allow it. And as far as following laws and that it doesn't matter that this game is based in China? It's not abouit following laws, but it does matter that it is based in China. That is where new content comes from, and they're not gonna break their so-called "tradition" for any of us.
Ugh, either way I've wasted too much of my time in this thread. When the day comes (which it won't) that PW allows same-sex marriage, then, and only then, can you throw it in my face. Until then, QQ more. QQ in one hand, b:fatb in the other, and see which one fills up faster.0 -

OMG I hit refresh and nothing was added!!!
So now I just would like to add the little bit that this game is NOT "Chinese Tradition"
a) MMO's aren't Chinese Tradition.. b) PW isn't a tradition
It's a game made by Chinese (actually Malaysian people if I remember correctly), who made their own decisions but that doesn't mean it can't be coded differently by other people who also host the game.
..and now for why I quoted Tech... Panda Express is freaking awesome XD0 -
Hm... my opinion is pretty short...or maybe...i'm just asking a question.
"Do you think all **** / bi is criminal? How about those people who do **** or hurting their own opposite gendered lovers?"
and... this is just a game anyway.... i don't really care what the maker want to do... i just enjoying game at my free time...0 -
To Jennalicious: Your logic was that **** tradition doesn't approve of **** marriage or w/e. Well I'm pretty sure mass murder isn't approved either b:shocked So they should just close every game ever created because even killing tree's in PWI is pretty brutal.Say my name 3 times, I dare you.

In general, same-sex marriage will allow guys playing venos to marry their girlfriend playing a female avatar. ALSO allow people marriage quest. If they limit marriage to only straights, then they should change name to Straight Couples Quest.Say my name 3 times, I dare you.

good grief i really wish people would THINK about these suggestions before posting them.
this just ain't gonna happen. it's too much of a risk. didn't read the other posts so i ain't sure if this has been bought up. but the gaming indutry is already under fire from things like violence, and what not. putting same sex marriages is a risk that few if ANY mmo will take. could you imagine what protesters would do? really it's more problems than it's worth. a testament to this is simply how it isn't implemented. this idea could being tons of cash in but it's not here. why? becos there is a potential risk that protesters (like a certain bared Florida lawyer xD) would somehow interfere with the game. this COULD cause a domino effect should it be put on the media. when parents see it, and realize their kids are playing said game what you think will happen? they will forbid the them from playing and ALOT of pw players are under 17 and most likely living with their parents. and considering how the media loves to spice things up you can understand why same sex marriages is a can of worms few would open.
the ones who are hell bent on getting this idea past seem to have a total lack of understanding. few are hating or intlorent to the idea. it's all about business and the fact that this is a game and games are used to escape real life issues.
picture this: you own a store that sells plants, then you decide "hey weed would sell pretty good." you put it up for sale. what do you think will happen? everyone would stop going there. business wise NO plant store would sell plants like that becos it's more trouble than it's worth (granted those plants are full blown illegal but i trust you have the idea). the same thing can be said here with this idea.
some would say if your trying to escape real life issues, then y marriages are in the game in the first place? the answer is simple. marriages are not a real life issue, same sex marriges on the other hand IS.
perhaps one day same sex marriages in mmos will be common. but it's not now people are to narrow minded simple as that. think logically and not emotionally you'll understand that from a bessness stand point it's too risky0 -

Please do keep trying. Even mountains are worn away by enough droplets of water. When PWI realizes it could make more money selling more wedding packs... I think only money will change their minds, if even it has that power. As addictive as the game is, I seriously doubt anyone would boycott it if new form marriages were allowed.
Thanks for the Ben Franklin quote. He was right on with it, wasn't he?
Even with only 62 votes counted as I added mine, I'm encouraged by the open mindedness of the voters who managed to post their votes before PWI locks this thread (which given their history, I expect may happen quickly.)0 -
Rinari - Raging Tide wrote: »game is based in AMERICA... where it is ILLEGAL and IMPOSSIBLE to get a **** marraige
thats right- even if they wanted to add it, people could bring legal legislation down on PWE, and guess what?
PWE isnt gonna do something that frelling moronic and stupid
personally, i could care less if it's added. but seriously, grow some intelligence. it wont happen.... EVER
Um, wow. I just had to comment on how stupid this is. First of all, same sex marriage is legal in some states. The federal government doesn't really feel like getting into the cluster-**** issue that's become so they pretty much left the decision to the state governments. Sure, the defense of marriage act basically says that they won't recognize a union between two people of the same sex as an actual marriage but they don't exactly prohibit it either.
Learn what the hell you're talking about before spewing bull**** all over the forums next time.b:byeLyonna_S - Sanctuary wrote: »In my opinion.... I don't hate **** or **** peoples... they are just the same with human being and stop giving "CHINESE TRADITION" things here... this game also an art and the artist have no limit to change it... just let PWi's ppl decide it.
back to **** and ****, this is just a game... don't make it looks like the real world... except you are totally thinking you are inside game. That will sounds like you need to look at the real world nature not just in front of computer. So i say "Yes" for the same marriage and same gender embrace. Be open minded and look if you think opposite gender love is always good... man and woman also hurting each other and even more painful. if you don't want to be **** or **** just don't be one.. you can refuse like you are refusing opposite gender... just don't hurt them and push them to the corner. They also want to love and beloved like human but in another way.
Thats just my opinion... not forcing you to agree. And NO! I'm not a BI or a ****!
So, PW is art? Well, let's go with that. Art is made by people. People have certain beliefs they grew up with. In China they grew up in a society where ****/**** marriage is taboo. Most likely they themselves will also think the the same thing on ****/lesbians. Would an artist willingly include something they are against in their art? No.It's a game made by Chinese (actually Malaysian people if I remember correctly), who made their own decisions but that doesn't mean it can't be coded differently by other people who also host the game.
Why is this so difficult for people to understand? The devs are being dicks and won't let anyone else change the code. Everyone keeps saying 'The people in the American version should change it since it's in America.' and other things along those lines when it's been said SEVERAL times that they are not allowed to change the code on their own.This alt has been brought to you by lkurei - Harshlands.

An EXCELLENT point! So many real-life players of PWI have been forced to use avatars that do not match their real-life genders, that even if they wanted to marry their real-life heterosexual mates in PWI, they cannot. A good example would be one of my alts that is a Venomancer, even though I'm male, cannot marry my real-life wife, who is a cleric, since both the veno and cleric are females in the game. Venos CAN tank (just ask my veno friend who solos TT 1-3 without a Herc!), and we would have enjoyed being a team, but I don't want to be a barbarian. I have 7 characters and 5 of them of female. My cleric, archer, veno, psychic and assassin are all female. I will never have a Tideborn male because I don't care for the way they move (and the many comments I always hear people making about that issue.)
So very many people have been forced (or chosen) to wear unmatched gender avatars in the game, that the rule of 1M+1F is completely pointless. PWI won't allow same gender marriages, despite the fact that probably more than half their players are wearing the opposite gender avatar! The women might enjoy the power of being a barbarian, I don't know. But it's a sure thing that many of the guys have female avatars because they enjoy watching them while playing the game.0 -

[EvilMarlon - Sanctuary] It would be nice to be a male veno i tryed a veno and my dad saw me and he thought i was **** it took me a whole month for him to even talk to me again. <-- LMAO
Duh! Just tell him you're WATCHING the veno you play as. Which would he think more ****: Watching the guy's backside or the girl's backside as your avatar runs around all through the game?
Just clarify for him that you're playing WITH the veno, not AS the veno. Use "Charlie's Angels" for an analogy and just tell him you're the unseen Charlie and the veno is just one of your angels. Just don't let him catch you using Embrace though. That'd be a little different to explain.
Glad he's talking to you again. Maybe he finally understands A) this is just a GAME, and
It's PWI's fault for not allowing venos to be guys. Hadn't they ever seen the movie Beastmaster? 0 -
The issue reminds me of my favorite quote of my kids from when they were little and played with G.I. Joes and such: They used to protest to friends, "They're NOT DOLLS!! They are ACTION FIGURES!" So serious...
Meanwhile, my veno wants to marry her darkbreed wolfkin battle pet. And my barbarian has a crush on one of the pet trainer (NPC) veno girls, but she never answers him. Oh my, what shall I do? I have two accounts and should have put the veno and barb on separate accounts so they could marry, but alas, I goofed and have them both on the same account, so when one logs in the other vanishes. Like the legend of Ladyhawke, they can never quite meet. How tragic. b:chuckle
(If you ever make a second account, have the males on one and the females on the other, so that if you have two PC's they can help each other.)0 -
Win...
So now that the votes are greatly in the favor of "Yes", this shouldn't be a problem.Say my name 3 times, I dare you.

Lol... yea it is an art... and we never know what artist are thinking :P like i said... just let them design it as they want to.. And... like people said... Money can change it... (whats their main reason for making an art? just for fun or for money?) if that was made really for money... there is some chance to be happen even in 0.1%. Anyway...I'm an artist too so i could understand what you mean and i just remember there is some 17 under player in PWi (and i think not just get to **** / bi ppl, i already think PWi is not a good place for them... too much ppl that saying BAD STUFF inside it and violence thingy -___-') but in my opinion... if it was for freedom... why not? What parents for? They can guide their child to the right place. For belief? i do grown up in place where ****/ bi marriage is illegal.
Then I think... why parents trying to hide something while they can explain it? Their kids will be ended with finding out by their self... I do grown up without parents that was mom and dad, i grow up with my sis only and i can understand all stuff like that from my environment and my sis who is older than me explain me all stuff i need to know, not hiding it.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I do not speak for the Community Manager or PWE, but to answer this thread and then close it, here is why it isn't going to change.
Game is made in China. Different culture, billions of people with their own views.
The game was not designed for it. It was designed on traditional Chinese myths and themes. A game shouldn't be changed just because a cultural or political shift in a different country wants it to be so. Please keep in mind China and the US operate different types of governments with their own laws.
Imagine if Mario got changed into a Yellow Dinosaur because people wanted him to be. It'd change the game, and anger a lot of people. Imagine if people didn't want the Sun anymore, and decided to make it go supernova because they didn't like it.
Because a poll is posted and X amount of people vote on it, doesn't make it a "law" that the game will then change. The developers and designers in China created the world that we play in with set rules for a reason. We always appreciate the feedback, please don't get upset when something doesn't get changed.
TLDR: It isn't going to change for the foreseeable future due to cultural, legal, and design reasons.
End of line...Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
