It was announced some time ago that Square-Enix would make it easier for Final Fantasy XI players to get married in-game, with the vague insinuation that the feature would go live at around the same time as the version update. Sure enough, the new wedding system is now in place, and it makes the entire procedure so much easier that it’s almost trivial. After all, you already get to avoid meddling in-laws, reams and reams of wedding invitations, and the joy of finding a caterer who won’t server your guests microwaved dog food.
The official page offers all the details you could want on the wedding system, including the procedure for crafting all of the wedding items if you prefer that option to purchasing them. It also offers traditional Vana’diel wedding vows, a nice touch for a roleplaying event, especially one supported by the game’s official systems. So go ahead and tie the knot in Final Fantasy XI, free and without the bulky and restrictive system of the past. No rumors yet of a messy and acrimonious divorce system being added into the game, but now that marriage is simpler, perhaps it’s in the cards.

Aside from seeing all the latest in Fallen Earth automotive awesomeness, players who stop by will be treated to giveaways, a wasteland drag show, and heavens knows what else. Post Apoc Radio will also be on the scene to play some rockin’ music and provide colorful RP commentary (as always). So gather up the whole clan and come by the Car show — make valuable crafting friends, or pick up some excellent prizes!

Retcons are valuable things in Champions Online, and they are used only with care, as their effects can be far-reaching and are assured to be constant for quite some time. (This marks a major point of divergence between Champions Online and most current comic books, but we’ll leave that to one side for the time being.) So it’s a bit significant when Cryptic announces that everyone will be getting a free retcon on October 27th, just in time for the Blood Moon event to kick off in full swing.
Cryptic’s official explanation is that the free retcon comes as a result of server troubles over the weekend, and is their little way of extending an olive branch to the community. It does come with a bit of a caveat, however — if you’ve been banking up your previous free retcon in anticipation of needing it later, they won’t stack. You just get the one free.
But that’s not such a big issue, when you get right down to it — you can use the retcon if you need it, and start enjoying the zombie-smashing fun. And if you aren’t already playing, perhaps now is a fine time to mention that there’s a free weekend starting on Friday?

This weekend we had the chance to hang out with a bunch of rough-and-tumble types in the wastelands of Fallen Earth. No, we weren’t just doing our typical weekend gaming! We were lucky enough to get to spend some time in-game, hanging out with Marie “Arosei” Croall, Content Team Lead for Fallen Earth. During the evening, we asked her some of the great player submitted questions we solicited last week. She also tossed out a couple of interesting asides to the huge crowd that amassed to take part in the event – and to get some of the free goodies we were handing out!
For those of you who may not have been able to make it – or would just like to check it out without all the cross-chatter – we’ve transcribed the interview (and some interesting asides) behind the break. Also, remember that we have another Massively Fallen Earth event happening this Wednesday night at the Embry Satellite, starting at 9:00 PM Eastern. This time our very own Shawn Schuster will be dropping by to hold a Massively Reader Meet-up, with – you guessed it – more free stuff, and a special Halloween-themed show on Post Apoc Radio.
