I might get some horrible comments, and even Stupid comments of people telling me this is a dumb idea. But here goes, What if they made a marriage system. Something that would give players who have other “half’s” that play a helpful aspect of the game. And i’m not saying this just for fun and games. I know 2 games that have this feature. Mission against terror And Allods online. I know that in Allods, being married gives you like a small XP and rep buff. What if wow had something like this and i know we have recruit a friend. But that’s a whole different Aspect of what i’m referring to. Eventually Refer a friend runs out, But make something that’s a little more permanent. It’s just a thought and i wanted to see what others though of this .
Its great for RPers. Even better if you can share last names.
I married my RL wife in EQ back in 2000. Think its a great thing for simple fun in the game.
Just remember though, yo have to plan for the 50% that will end in divorce…

FFXIV does this on some level as well. Not quite sure how that works but they have it too. I am not opposed to the idea but the question is …why? It may be considered a waste dev time when they have alot of other things to resolve first.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. With that said, with the issues that WoW has, I feel like this probably shouldn’t be considered a priority to work on either.

I think at this point anything that encourages social interaction with other players is a good idea. But I’d like to see a modified system which makes marriage a big decision. Like, you can’t ever divorce a person and remarry someone else unless their sub lapses for a month, or something. Or make it cost a lot of gold (more with each subsequent marriage) so everyone can’t just get remarried 50 times on a whim.
I also think a cosmetic reward of some kind would be a better bonus, so that all the minmaxers don’t feel required to get married for maximum efficiency.

I don’t want it to be a priority, but still it would be nice to have here. Something they could work on and build on. And yes they have alot of other issues to resolve and i understand that. But there an always be something like this added. It’s just an idea to give and throw around. I never wanted it to be a priority
i agree 100% with that. but i mean make it cost if your gonna divorce. Like i dont know. Something simple that’s gonna cost you maybe 5k gold for it? or even RL cash make it a reason enough to use the divorce not just do it cause you dont like someone.
i would like that.
the perks could be something small
i would settle with my SO being always able to see me on the maps whether we are partied or not

As a paladin of Azeroth I can only get behind this if traditional marriage is supported only! By this I mean absolutely no marriage between horde and alliance.

I like your idea, I think a lot of good ideas like this should be in wow. Unfortunately though we just see the same thing over and over and over. I really wish and hope we get some amazing features like you said down the road… we need MOAR.

I want to see something fun for profession perks first, but I’m fine with marriage perks. Nothing that causes raiders to feel forced to take certain professions, but something fun. We need a return to fun. Adding in this marriage thing doesn’t affect me and if it’s fun for others, that’s cool. Let’s add little fun perks everywhere!

I would actually sorta like this idea especially for RP.
For me, it just adds more unnecessary drama to the RP. I stay far far away from RP weddings and relationships now. But I don’t begrudge others the desire or ability.
Well the system would have to allow same sex marriage, this isn’t 1950s it’s 2019.

i was just saying that to my guild. Making it Male to female would be unfair. I agree with horde to horde or ally to ally. but same sex marriage should be allowed.
As long as they make the divorces super entertaining.

If you get divorced you have to split the gold in the bank.
