Offspring/wedding
Many mmorpg's offer wedding system, but thats all. It lacks something, after wedding thr should be honeymoon which will lead to offsprings. An offspring npc would be great(growth type npc). Having your own npc which can run some errands will be great it will save you some gold in hiring npc(from production works to combat). An npc that you can raise and choose its job in the future(merchant,knights etc) which will give you some earnings.
What are your thoughts about this offspring idea?

What if the kids don't want to work for you?
What if i don't marry or don't want to have kids? Will i have less money because i have to hire my npcs?
the offspring part i find a little weird tho, since it would be between players, how would that work? does a baby just randomly appear in your home? do they grow at a rapid rate or you have to deal with a baby for a week+?
Sad thing i would love to see something like rp marriage with other players and become able to raise a child . Even i i think they should not work for you thats kinda strange . But having them would be max immersion .
Beside that after marriage consequences should be just .. more in general yes . Like sharing the bank, sharing a home, special buffs when fighting together and such things .
But kids? Hell no.
@skullkid1105 thats why i said growth type npc where you will level it through food, works and battles. From baby to mature one, at baby stage ofcourse you need to feed it to levelup(its level will tell its appearance), in **** stagr you can bring it to battle which will act as support(cheer mom/dad to gives buff).when it became mature you can choose its own class (production,combat or support class) which will help you bigtime.
In regards to the topic I think marriage should stay as an RP element maybe adding something extra while doing something with your spouse but that's it.
This isnt WoW. Try to imagine what this game can be. If u want a wedding not to be crashed, maybe hold it in a guild hall where entrance is only allowed to those on the list. Bam, fixed...
You do bring up a good point thou, but let's use that information to find a way to have it work in AOC.
I like the idea of offspring.
Perhaps a requirement of offspring would be that the two parents would each need an open alt spot, and we would end up with a two-account alt that either of the parents could log into and play (not both at the same time, though). Total number of children could be limited by open alt spots of the parents' accounts and these child characters should not be able to be deleted, so having a child should not be done on a whim.
The child would have some inherited traits of each parent, both visual and race specific. We will get some odd looking toons after a year or two! Will the offspring of a dwarf and an orc be called a dork?
The parents might have to hire a NPC to care for the baby while they are out hunting.
Since AoC is a magic world, let's let same sex couple also reproduce.
Question...if two characters marry and one quits the game, after some period of time (may a year or two) will the remaining character be able to re-marry?
Question...will each of the characters on our account be able to marry? In other words, can alts marry?
Thanks, TT
I am tempted to take the thread into the gutter with cracks about mounting after the wedding or exactly what was meant by 'two person mounts' but I won't.
Neither will I mention the other name for a donkey mount or anything about honeymoons.
But crafting a two seated bicycle might be cool.
