“Until the wipe is separated by us…»Wedding in online games
– I heard, Makarovna, how non -nonche youth is wearing? They thought to be frying through a hut!
– Yes, it won't be possible! It's how it is?!
– And so! He is sitting in Moscow, she is somewhere in Magadan, and on the TV they are also exchanged rings!
-oh-oh, where everything is rolling?! This soon children will begin to give birth by phone!
No matter how indignant the lifting grandmothers were, but only gaming weddings have long and firmly sat on a shelf with the Birochka "Socio-Cultural Phenomena". And not to notice them is pointless-no, no, and they swing a shoe right in front of the nose. So this is another means of pumping money, a shelter for those who are not given to twist the cups in reality, a shelter for perverts or an innocent flower on a dietary cake?
Who is extremely married?
The idea of game weddings arose, perhaps, when the online games themselves appeared. If we want to get to the bottom of the origins, we must start with MUD. The first virtual novels arose in these textual multi -user games and the first virtual marriages were concluded. It is unlikely that now it is possible to establish who was the first pair, who decided to perpetuate the relationship of his characters in such a non -standard way. Although you can approximately estimate when it could happen: MUD’S gained popularity in the 80s of the last century, and in Russia they took root ten or two years later.
[[Bullet]] Weddings in Perfect World are truly beautiful. It is not surprising that almost all players try to go through this ceremony. Some even … several times!
At first, the wedding in MUD arranged real couples in love with the fact that they are together in both worlds. Then more and more participants began to get involved in new entertainment. And over time it became noticeable that not all marriages are consisted with love. Many beautiful ladies gave their hand for the sake of material and social goods to the one who could provide them with these benefits: to accept in the top guild, to share expensive equipment, to increase the status of an account, and finally – to provide protection. And if all the useful qualities have not concentrated in one chosen one – well, you can always marry the next!
Since the basis of MUD was the game chat, the "wedding ceremonies" in it and passed. How? Here is an example from the domestic mud "Epics" (in reduction, spelling is preserved).
You said: “Do you agree to take the servant of God Ronari to the wife?"
You said: "Think faster, traffic is coming"
Vainard giggled.
Yaremir said: "I agree"
Yaremir told you: "Then tell me the rings"
Madar said: "Chinese let's get Zhenya already and the zone fall"
You said: “Do you agree to take into legal husbands (or as it is written there) the servant of God Yaremyrir?"
Ronari said: "I agree …"
You said: "Clovy"
Madar said: "I agree to everything)"
You said: "The authorities given to me from above …"
You said: "Until I nailed me, I declare you husband and wife, now you can kiss"
“Beloved, I am yours forever …” Ronari whispered and passionately kissed Yaremir.
[[Bullet]] For those who played classic MUD, a rich fantasy and good vision were required. Yes, this is something like it all looked like.
A similar alignment was preserved when MMO-Igra acquired a picture and animated figures of characters. The ancestor of the online role -player Ultima Online Given the festive costumes and beautiful scenery for the wedding in love, but the newlyweds had to resort to the help of gammasters to display a new status. I think the poor, over and over again attributing to the “wife of such and such”, “husband of such and such” to nickname freshly blessed newlyweds, dreamed that the developers finally make an automatic marriage mechanism.
The Korean company responded to the first prayers of GM-S Gravity Co., Ltd. And then not at once. About a couple of years after the birth Ragnarok Online Another addition brought the opportunity to officially and automatically enter into a legal marriage. Pleasure is, of course, easy to call it easily. The groom and the bride requires the 45th level and a lot of money or patience: you can knock out wedding outfits and rings, but with a probability of 1.5%. But the presence in the backpack of the engagement ring allows you to call each other a happy couple to yourself and heal.
Note: The first wedding on the Russian server Ragnarok Online took place in 2004. Of course, it was a pirate server, official Russian localization appeared a year later. So pirates help to connect to loving hearts!
Now click the "Marry" button!
Times are changing, and games with them. Automated wedding ceremonies have built a lot where: in Blood and Soul, Perfect World, Battle of the Immortals, Maplestory, "Theos: the desires of the goddess", "Allods online", "Para-PA: Dance City", Forsaken World, "Legend: Heritage of Dragons" and other games (not so long ago it was added to this list Rift). But the basic principles and templates of virtual marriages are all the same.
► Blood and Soul. The gaming marriage ceremony decorates and revives a huge number of animated emotions, including paired. Sabina and Sasha were able to almost repeat the script of their own wedding in the game in detail.
First, prepare for the fact that the wedding is an expensive event. Everything is like in life! And there is nothing to be surprised that weddings almost always go hand in hand with a gaming store. And everything begins, as expected, with the application. In different games, the procedure for admission to the “wedding organ” is arranged in different ways. Sometimes it is enough to fill out the questionnaire, sometimes you need to collect (buy) a set of necessary things – dresses, rings, and so on. And in some places (for example, in Perfect World at first it is necessary to spend enough time together to earn a certain level of relations. IN Blood and Soul Those who wish to marry must fulfill the quest of Cupid, collecting a certain number of rare trophies.
At the appointed time, the groom, the bride and their friends are in a special hall, where they are met by a special NPC, head of the marriage ceremony. What he does with a defenseless couple in love? Sometimes the procedure can be spied on by passing by, but often outsiders are not allowed to the altar-up to the point that the hall itself is located somewhere in a separate reality, where everyone whose names were in the list of invited. I will reveal the secret: nothing so special. Standard speeches, “whether the groom agrees”, “does the bride agree, the local analogue of Marsha Mendelssonon, and everyone is plunged into happiness. Who saw one wedding – saw them all. But sometimes the marriage procedure becomes a test.
So, in Perfect World An angry “former”, a special NPC, who have to fight, otherwise he will cut the groom will have to transfer the wedding to the midst of the ceremony. And in "Para-PA: Dance City" The groom and the bride should dance together. Failed to packet on a passing score – that's it, the marriage will not take place. The approach to post -a -breeding measures varies. IN Ragnarok Online After the ceremony, the newlyweds cannot fight, and they have to spend the "honey hour" in a safe place. And in Blood and Soul , On the contrary, at the end of the celebrations, newlyweds are given wedding clothes with a powerful combat bonus. You can use them only for an hour.
► Alina (Animedoll) and Sasha (Tribe) from Aion claim that they do not think about the wedding yet. But Alina's drawings say the opposite!
“It was very difficult,” Sabina and Sasha, who had played a wedding in Blood and Soul, complain. – It is necessary to collect thirty cards to get the arrow of the Cupid. They beat all the monsters in a row, and, as luck would have it, on the cards of the hug as jammed! Day, second, third – not a single. Okay, friends helped, gave the missing. I really liked the wedding itself, however, we spent so that now we will not be able to get a divorce with all desire: it is necessary to divorce four thousand gold, but we have good if a couple hundred remains for two!
And now attention: those who satisfied the requirements of the machine scolder receive not only the title of official married couple. Now their status gives them the opportunity to use special “family” skills (teleports, treatment, resurrection, etc.), make special daily quests, get an increase in experience if they fight next. It is no wonder that many enter into a virtual marriage by calculation, and the general chat is full of ads: “I am looking for a husband, a wedding at his expense”, “I am looking for a wife for sandwiches” (no, he is not cannibal, he wants a summer house of daily food!).
But what happened to the distant ancestors of these automated weddings, with naive and simple weddings that took place in the game chat? Well, remember: "Ronari said:" I agree "? With the advent of automation, they rested safely? Moreover, there are no good benefits from them-they gathered, talked, dispersed, neither teleports, nor legs, nor even flying hearts above their heads ..
But there is no role ceremonies in which the characters play the roles of the bride, bride, priest and guests, interspersing remarks with standard emotions, still more lively than all the living. Why?
Despite the widespread of automatic built -in wedding, progress in this social industry was far from all online projects. In many games of the built -in wedding mechanism there are no and do not promise, so those who wish to combine their virtual fates have to resort to a time -tested method.
But sometimes a role -playing wedding is carried out both after, and instead of the official. Perhaps precisely because against the backdrop of “sandwich” weddings and weddings on calculation, for the sake of experience and skills, informal ceremonies look truly sincere and romantic? In addition, with a free wagging, you can violate the specified script, draw your own story, break all the canons – and there are always players for whom such freedom is worth a lot.
THIS IS INTERESTING: experts say that in files "Lord of the Rings Online" There is a carefully prescribed marriage mechanism. However, it is disabled. The copyright holders demanded to remove weddings, as they were afraid of interracial marriages. And the same -sex at the same time. There is a mention of the host of marriage ceremonies in files Lineage 2 , But here it is not at all clear why he is replaced by a ruins merchant.
[[Bullet]] "Lord of the Rings Online". A dress, universally recognized as a wedding, can be obtained once a year, during a summer festival. The rest of the time remains to rely on the auction.
How to make a wedding with your own hands? We will definitely need a wedding dress. The groom is the main thing to be dressed at least something, while the bride-you yourself understand-must certainly be in white! Or … at least in some way, if there is no semblance of a wedding outfit in the game as a class. Then a suitable picturesque place is selected. In the mentioned "Lord of the Rings Online" Not far from the marriage place must be a notary public – to change the surname. Actually, this is the whole procedure of an informal wedding-husband and wife take a common name or write after Nick the classic “wife of such and such”, “husband of such and such”.
All other actions depend on how lucky you are with friends, and friends with imagination. Companions, handing gifts to the newlyweds, distribute food, drinks and other trifles to guests and passers -by. Sometimes they steal the bride and make the groom and guests look for her by puzzles-pinks. Festive muzzle tournaments are arranged (duel on fists, without weapons and armor). Romantically played on musical instruments, dance, recite poetry (in chat or in voice chat, if the festival is “for their own”). The bride, as expected, throws a bouquet (blindly offering trade in the first from the crowd). And then … everyone goes about their business, the holiday is over. Sometimes weddings are held with meaning: for example, a wedding in honor of the first passage of a raid instance played in the final boss room.
The glass is half empty
It would seem that everyone uses, everyone likes it, which means that game weddings are good. Why are so many people add to this "but"? Of course, there are few skeptics, only a small part of the players does not tolerate the wedding, but this layer is firmly sure that everything that is not sanctified by the registry office, does not have the right to exist!
Part of the "wedding" betrays them just for the company with games in general. Surely you have repeatedly heard their sacred motto: "It would be better to find a girl and work". Of course, this point of view does not stand up to criticism, in the game you can find both a girl and work, and a lot more. But no arguments convince fierce opponents of games. Although … Some have every reason to relate to games as evil.
I met this woman who hate games at one of the classic "ladies" forums. Such, you know, pink-blue. With flowers. From her story I removed the name of the game. In this case, any online project could be at this place.
-We met in the game and because of the game and divorced. But everything was so beautiful until the daughter was born! I was no longer up to the game, with a small child there was so much fuss, was tired, annoyed, and Sasha did not want to throw. Comes home from work, eat, daughter in her arms for five minutes – and for the computer. We go to bed, the monitor is in the eyes of me, the apartment is small. The daughter wakes up from the fact that the keys are clicking, she begins to cry. Sometimes I went to bed when it was starting to light, and after a couple of hours he got to work.
Oh, as I asked and persuaded – yes, stop playing, do a family! Agreed, and then broke again. Divorced. I still can't look at games.
[[Bullet]] "Allods online". The most difficult thing in the local wedding ceremony is to understand which of those present the groom and who is the bride.
Another part is people who received some losses from courtship. “Girls-Consumers”, looking for rich players and promoting them into a gift for a potential “bride”, is not uncommon online (a couple of examples can be found in our recent interview with Leonid Zaitsev , head of the company's investigation department Mail.Ru Group.).
Finally, one cannot deny the presence of "ideological" opponents of virtual marriages. As well as those who see in such loopholes for all kinds of perversions. For example, same -sex marriage – a horror story of the last times! Bo! And even if everything looks pretty decent … What if a man plays for a girl?
Good, but if on the contrary? If this delicate maiden is a harsh loader, and her broad-shouldered groom is his friend-scricid?
Igor ( Vodsomot) And Marina ( Io) They did not play a wedding in " The lord of the rings online ". Even after they got married in life.
“I had to come to the gathering in Moscow, but it didn’t work,” says Igor. – Then, in the game, a friend Katya says: “You didn’t come in vain, I wanted to introduce you to the girl, here she is, by the way”. I look – and in front of me is a two -meter black man! Well wow girl! Okay, I waved a pen ..
– Yes, I play a male character because … I love outfits terribly! I can sew for hours, try on, select … And for some reason everything looks better on a man. And then, in communication with a brutal tesker-negr, the rest of the players behave somehow more adequate than, say, with a delicate elven,-Marina admits.
– Friends, giggling, insisted at the wedding, but I do not want to turn such an important event into a booth, albeit in a virtual world. Two men play a wedding … terrible! – laughs Igor.
► Marina (IO) and Igor (Vodsomut) did not suit marriage in the "Lord of the Rings Online", but they made a real performance from a real wedding. They rode a military truck painted with paintings from the world of fantasy, and exchanged rings from tungsten carbide.
But now look. Suppose we decided to indulge in the most unbridled perversions and marry two delicate warriors or two courageous sorceresses. so what? But nothing will work out, the wedding mechanism will only accept the classic pair! But it is quite possible to arrange a role -playing ceremony and twist a gnome with a straight lizard, two elves with three hobbits, a knight with his horse … You can still imagine. So, just of the carwritages is the stronghold of morality, and all world evil is concentrated in role weddings? And the vector of hatred is directed at all there?
But is there any meaning in her – in https://sister-site.org/bc-game/ hatred? Yes, if you recognize the right to exist for virtual weddings, then men will marry men, and gnomes in elven (which for some is much worse!), greedy transvestites will defeat naive romantic schoolchildren, kills on the basis of jealousy will be committed, and the world will migate in the darkness.
And if you do not recognize … then men will still marry men, transvestites to rob, and the world is mired. After all, online weddings do not carry anything to this world that would no longer exist in it, they only reflect the prevailing phenomena in the Internet mirror. So why, instead of blaming the mirror, not afford a little pleasure?
The glass is half full
Recently a company Mail.Ru Group conducted a romantic sociological study. The play for him was the game Perfect World. Of all the large localized MMOs, this game is perhaps the richest of social buns. Heaps of exquisite costumes, fantastic sled animals, emotions and effects for every taste. Sometimes it even begins to seem to me that monsters and combat skills were added to this game only to attract guys.
► Tunreeda and Skrat had a lot of chances to meet in real life. But fate ordered that they met at Perfect World.
To test the sacrament of the marriage procedure, according to the results of the survey, was not only a tenth of the players. No wonder: to marry, you will need 20th level and some money (about twenty dollars for two). Even easier to get divorced – a couple of million game gold, and you are free! And about 80% of those who have married sooner or later turn to this procedure. Of course, the main share of the divorced is those who got married “just like that, from boredom”, by announcement or for the sake of increasing experience. But there are those who only confirmed virtually real relations.
Skrat And Tunreeda from Perfect World submitted an application to the registry office, after which they arranged a game wedding. And two months later they played the real.
– There were two computers in our apartment. We played nearby, side by side in both senses. Recently, my husband was taken to the army, I already went to him and wait for him to return, but for now I spend lone evenings in the game and tell my beloved husband about everything that is happening there.
And here Anna (Cleusha) marrying is not in a hurry, but regrets that in Aion There are no built -in weddings. After all, they met with a lover exactly there.
-X would have departed something unusual!A pair of wings similar to each other, but not like any wings that exist in the game … or titles, as my half jokes, giving +10% to damage and the same amount to protection in PVP. Wedding dress is generally my modest female dream!
THIS IS INTERESTING: A few days after our conversation, the company NCSOFT Added wedding outfits to the Aion Game store! Who knows, maybe over time, weddings will come to Aion?
► Dating in Aion turned out to be sufficient for Dmitry (span) to decide: Anna (Kleusha) is the girl that he needs!
More than half of the population of servers believes in true love that can be found in the game, and knows that you can finish playing before the real wedding and a bunch of children. There is nothing impossible in the invented worlds.
You can meet in a game with a girl, quickly marry her for an increase in experience, and after a couple of days to safely forget about her. And we can find that it is interesting to talk to her, and meet more and more often, and gradually get “children”, “parents”, “uncles and aunts”, “brothers and sisters”, and arrange “family holidays”, and even in the evenings to chat in the evenings in the evenings chats. And then gradually begin to share the joys with them and discuss problems with family and work, and learn the names of their wives and husbands, children and bosses. And someone will sooner or later write in the chat: “Guys, I'm going to your lands in the week, we will gather on beer? »And then someone exclaims:“ Oh, so you know Flash? I'm just looking for a person to my company, call tomorrow ". And all this is in between quests, raids, sieges and crafts.
You say this does not happen? Well – follow me, an incredulous reader, and I will show you how it happens!
Tunreeda story (Perfect World)
When Seryozha told me that he also lived in Orel, I first got angry, I thought he was joking at me. And then it turned out – everything is true. Moreover, I was familiar with his friend’s sister, we generally found a lot of common friends. Seryozha lived opposite the office where I worked, and often visited my friends in my yard. And we were at the same concert with him, both stood near the scene! But we met at Perfect World, a game in which three million people. How can I not remember fate here?
The story of Arkweid ("Lord of the Rings Online")
I was transferred to work in a new store, and once on a night shift, we talked with the duty administrator Oleg. It was about games, and suddenly it turned out that we both played in the "Lord of the Rings". Moreover, Oleg is the same person with whom we have been friends in the game for several months and running together!
We have been together soon for two years, and we have a daughter, she is nine months old. The two most wonderful years in my life. And this is only the beginning of our history, and what will happen next … we will find out when the time comes.
On both sides of the screen
[[Bullet]] Forsaken World. You approach the girl, suggest taking her in your arms – what's no reason to dating?
Not all meetings in the game result in real weddings. However, like dating in real life. And in general, the game and life have a lot in common, and sometimes they can be confused by chance. But since we are all different, the real reflection of the virtual wedding in the monitor mirror for each will be different. For some, this is how to throw a top ten meter to get a table by the window. For someone-how to invite a pretty fellow student to the dance. For someone-how to turn on DVD with a good old comedy. For someone-how to first read your poems to strangers. And for someone it is … like a wedding!
“It's very good that we met in the game,” he believes Marina (IO) from "Lord of the Rings Online".-After all, I know firsthand why my husband is “again,” hesit-pivo-comepier-so-he-it-honey-namazano ”, and I am not going to deprive him of his beloved hobby. The main thing I know: fate can overtake you anywhere.
