    This marriage thing in the game is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. What is the purpose of it? Does it give me extras? What is the point of it? I find the whole thing awkward and pointless. I didnt get a fighting adventure game to be going around getting married. As well as I don't see the use of buying a house apart from a waste of cash. I'm here to raid do dungeons kill mobs confront heavy bosses get weapons.

    This add on is a complete waste of time and I still cannot get my head round as to why people find it fascinating.

    I know this is an option (hopeless one I must highlight) that I won't be using as it brings NOTHING productive to the game.

    Agree to disagree

    The point of it is that, if you play this game regularly with a significant other or best friend (etc.), you might like to do something to bond the characters together. If you go through the eternal bond, you'll have the ability to instantly teleport to wherever that significant other is whenever you want, plus you'll have the opportunity to experience a special in-game event/quest together that results in a special ceremony. In the future, it may also provided additional functionality related to player housing (though that isn't there at launch).


    I know a lot of couples who play this game and who will really appreciate this system. But obviously it's not for everyone; in fact, it's probably not even for most players. The fact that it's sort of a "niche" feature may be why they included optional plans, since they spent a lot of time/money developing a system that likely only a fraction of the players will use directly. For those to whom it matters as a symbolic gesture, it may be worth it for them.
