********
something that left me wondering..
Teen marriages up?
THEY are married, widowed, divorced - all before they are even old enough to get a provisional driver's licence.
Teen gamers at MapleStory, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), get hitched at the rate of a couple a day in a range of weddings that cost between $30 and $40.
As part of the game, they can buy wedding tickets - cozy, sweety and premium packages - which enable them to receive anywhere between 10 and 60 guests, and obtain virtual wedding rings that add to their avatar's prowess.
Amanda Lee, a 14-year-old Raffles Girls' School student in real life, has had no fewer than five 'serious boyfriends' in the game.
She has been 'married' three times.
Other teens take their couplehood more seriously - offline.
Away from the game, they become real-life couples after first getting married online.
Others who are already in an off-line relationship make things official with an in-game wedding.
Like real marriages, not all work out.
When they fail, players need only wait four days and cough up 500,000 mesos - MapleStory's game currency - to get a Maple divorce.
*******
Do people actually get into relationship this way?
Nothing is for sure in the virtual world.
How they know the person that they KNOW ONLINE is the same person in REAL LIFE?
I know some people who are exact opposites of their virtual persona online ...
you can be ANYONE or have some kick ass attitude or some very sweet or popular persona online. BUT to me, what matters is your OFFLINE personality.
A virtual persona belongs to the virtual world, whatever your offline personality, you are just not real to me, till you show your true personality.
Some things are meant to be kept online, to me that's all.
In conclusion, I just feel, relationships and marriages in games give all the wrong notion of "marriage".
The game made it TOO SIMPLE and cause the gamers to have "fantasy ideas" regarding marriage.
