Get hitched in 'Deco Online' for a limited time

From now until June 9, players in the free-to-play MMORPG “Deco Online” ”... can don wedding gowns and tuxedos acquired from the in-game item mall and attend a ceremony officiated by their favorite game master,” as the press release notes. In other words, for a limited time you can get married.

Wait, what? Try as I might, I don’t understand why people would want to get married in an MMORPG. But then again, there’s a lot I don’t understand in this world so I’ll try not to spend too long analyzing the logic behind a virtual wedding ring. But why would developer Joymax only offer this option for a limited time? It’s a permanent feature in many titles, and, in a way, the focal point of one particular game. I hope the option to get divorced is still available after the event concludes.

In other “Deco Online” news, Joymax also wants you to know that the guerrilla event ends on July 7 and that the revised item mall makes it easier to purchase in-game items.
