Aeria Games’ Dream of Mirror Online has announced today that they’re embracing same sex marriage in their new robust marriage system.
This marriage system allows couples to embark on a series of challenging quests where they can plan their in-game wedding, complete with dream locale, wedding outfit and even a perfect set of rings. Once married, the couple will be granted unique features which include the ability to summon their significant other to their location, as well as special healing abilities during battle.
No, this isn’t the first MMO to do this (I attended several gay weddings in EverQuest) but it’s awesome to see them openly coming out and announcing it. DOMO is a game played by a wide range of audiences, but mostly appeals to the younger females. It’s good to see acceptance and equality in forms of entertainment that young people engage in today.

It may not be a first, but I do agree with you. It is good to see stuff like this being done openly in games.
