1. Small bonus on xp when you are together
2. Shared housing (or access to each other’s houses, which would be retracted if there is a divorce)
3. The ability to dissolve the marriage (divorce)

4. The married couple should get a special wedding pet or emote for getting married.

I would like to see an in-game marriage with the following benefits:
1. Small bonus on xp when you are together
2. Shared housing (or access to each other’s houses, which would be retracted if there is a divorce)
3. The ability to dissolve the marriage (divorce)

+1, especially the pet. >v<
- Allows Fast Travel/Instant Summoning of partner with a 24 hour cooldown
- Allows you to kill a player who has flagged or attempted to kill your partner without being "corrupted"
- Divorce depends on the Leader of the City with an option to have people vote whether they want divorce or not. This would make it so that people don't just eagerly jump into marriage with someone, it has to mean something significant and dissolving marriage should be hard af
- Domicile Buff aka Last Stand : When defending your Freehold, you and your partner get defensive and offensive buffs when in the zone of influence of your house and when within a few meters of each other (partner)
- Leveling/Questing together strengthens your bond, and as your bond rating gets stronger, you unlock access to Sex scenes with your partner, or to a lesser extent.. activities/group actions like Kissing, making out, holding hands while walking around or bridal carry, piggy-back carry

For me, it's just going to be meaningful to be able to be in-game married to the man I loved enough to marry outta game. But that's just me :-)
And for the pet person ... I get where you're coming from, my husband is an inveterate pet-collector (and everything else!), but again, I see that being something where people would get hitched just for the pet.
And besides Fast travel is implemented within a "Scientific Node" Metropolis' zone of influence this is the ultimate perk for Metropolis level Node from what i saw in the Video.
Also @isende, the difficulty of dissolving a marriage should act as a deterrent of recklessly getting hitched.. ie
- No divorce in the Node where you are a Citizen
- Possible implementation of some form of "Spousal Support" Wherein any sales or income you generate gets automatically taxed and set to the spouse with lesser income. etc.. that should make people think twice
My wife will be playing as well as me, she'll see this propose in game to me, I'll say no, not wanting to make the same mistake twice ;) That'll cause a fight and an inevitable divorce IRL. Thanks Intrepid!
Marriage will be a thing and it will not be gender / race locked so example
Male/male
Female/female
Orc/human and so on....
I remember on a live stream they talk about the marriage system being able to move in and set down furniture and if you do get divorce. That furniture will still be tied to you (Its still in discussion!)
Also found this post so assuming they been on this subject about moving in-together for awhile

Oh cool! I never thought of sharing with friends, etc! ^_^
imagine getting hitched to a gold digger, a portion of all your hard earned income will automatically be sent to them bi-weekly *cringe*
In DAoC there was a church in Avalon that had a priest that did wedding vows, and there were NPC merchants that sold wedding outfits, and other event associated items like interactive foods. It was great fun.
But since those old days, the idea of weddings has petered off. I have seen some weddings offered in Asian MMOs, but it never seemed to have the same <em>event</em> impact as in the past.
@Cypher86 Yes that would be horrible , make them sign a contract before they get married lol
@ T-Elf That sounds awesome!
You have to apply at a priest NPC.
There will be a Global Announcement across the server regarding the wedding: <em>In Ashes of Creation I want to see this implemented as a tier system depending on how much the couple is willing to spend on the wedding.. Basic wedding package will have a local announcement, Intermediate will have a Node-wide Announcement while the top tier package will have the Server-wide Announcement for the wedding.</em>
After the wedding, there is a 1 hour "Wedding Bliss" Buff wherein the couple won't be able to attack or use any skills for an hour.
Skills gained include:
Romantic Rendezvous - Summons your partner to your side
Loving Touch - Sacrifice HP to restore 10% of partner's HP
Undying Love - Consume SP to restore 10% of partner's SP
Getting buffs for being married...not ok....
Having players operate the marriage ceremony...sounds over the top...
Shared storage and property seems ok...
Also They probably don't want make a statement when they have yet to work on it The game is still in Pre-Alpha probably don't want to make promises they can't keep!

Don't you dare!
How would you even stop them if you attack them you become flagged! and if they dont leave and you kill them you will become corrupted!!
But I agree ill probably just abuse the benefits that you would receive from marriage like sharing a home/inventory etc....
Woot Go Friends!!!
