Ten Ton Hamster

Interviewer: Padma “LadyLotus” Fuller
Interviewee: GM Dakkon

Ten Ton Hamster was invited by Outspark to take a virtual tour of their new Wedding system that will be put in the game some time at the end of June. We were teleported to the wedding site in the sky where we met with GM Dakkon to get the full scoop...screenshots and all!

1. Tell us about the new Marriage System coming to Fiesta.

It will work like this: Once a proposal is accepted, the happy couple will have to get a license. Then they will go and give an invitation to all their friends to be guests at their wedding. When they are ready, they will head over to the guard in Elderine and queue up for the wedding. When their turn comes up, the couple is teleported to the wedding site in the sky. Once all that happens, each guest will then hand their invitation over to the same guard and they too will be teleported to the wedding site. There will be plenty of time for all the guests to arrive provided that they are in Elderine and ready to go!

2. Will it cost players money to get married?

Players will have to buy rings and a license in the cash shop.

3. What are the in-game benefits of being married?

Players will receive a wedding pack that will have their outfits ( A Wedding dress and veil for her and a Tuxedo for him) , cute mini-pets, fireworks to celebrate the occasion, and the rings will allow the couple to warp to each other from anywhere within the game. There will be a cool down time to be determined later. Perhaps there will be a synergy bonus when the couples are together in game.

4. Will these mini-pets have abilities?

They will slightly increase player’s statistics.

5. How many times can a player get married? Can players get divorced?

Initially there is no divorce in place, but that is coming soon. Once that is available, players can get married an infinite number of times…but only to one other player at a time.

6. Who performs the ceremony and what starts it?

There will be an NPC with a book that will appear to perform the ceremony. The trigger will be once the couple begins to move forward (walk down the isle) the ceremony will begin. The NPC is what is used to verify the union.

7. How many guests can a couple have?

They can invite up to 30 friends to attend the ceremony in total.

8. Tell us about the Fireworks.

Initially there will be one firework that will come in the couples pack. As the system progresses there will be more. The first player to be married in game will be GM Wildfire. Wildfire will have his own special firework that will be given out at his wedding. There’s a good chance that all the guests will receive it!

Personally, I am hoping that this could end up being a line of mini graphics that we can have for various seasons!

9. Is there a release date for the Wedding System?

The expected release date is around June 30th after the maintenance

10. What is your favorite part of the wedding system?

I like the tux because DANG I LOOK GOOD!  No, seriously I like the pets because they are cute and cuddly…something every warrior would be proud to carry into battle against the forces of darkness!
