Why…? We all know this was a discussion already explored multiple times in the past. However, with the new wedding event and costumes, I definitely think it could be possible to have a marriage system in the game. I also think this event can help spark the conversation of a potential marriage system. I think there are many different ways of going about this, first you could have it be a class that provides a wedding like a pastor or anything. Whether it be rank 9 or hidden class, I think the concept would be cool and a lot of people would be open to it. Another way in which you could implement the wedding system would be to have a npc in town provide the wedding and set invitations. In terms of the wedding itself, I think depending on the pastors skill level that could change how / where the marriage is taking place. For example is could be in a huge church, in klaipeda, at the amusement park. Also, the pastor levels could increase the amount of players past the base level of invitations for friends to come.
Purpose of marriage: I think there should be some point in getting married, for example when the couple is hunting together they get like: 10% bonus exp, 1% bonus con/dex/str/spr, etc… Nothing to game breaking but definitely something that motivates players to want to do it. I also, think there could be a shared inventory between the married couples.
Player housing: I also think there could be a classes that revolves around player housing, like a realtor or architect. I think it would be cool to be able to have a house where a person or couple can live and raise something like a pet (together or separate) inside the home. I think they could be set up in the format of something similar to guild towers. Where it’s a small area occupied and can be used by the owner and whoever wishes to enter. OR it could be setup on a separate map / area where its solely based for houses alone.
Fishing!? By fishing I just meant an actual activity outside of farming that could spark the interest of many people who want to come back to the game. This can be done through professions like fishing, farming, etc… Or through mini-games with a top rankings chart like, co-op type puzzles, chess, checkers, minesweeper…
TLDR; All in all, I get that this would be VERYYYYYYYY far into the future. However, I think the concept would fit this game perfectly ! I also, would love to see people continue playing and having that option open to have fun in multiple ways. As well as, giving them a reason other then daily dungeons and grinding to come back to this mmo. Again, with the new event and costumes the idea just sparked in my head and I thought it would very cool to incorporate.
