Buddy alternative to Ceremony of Eternal Bonding

[Mariem]

Currently the only way to be able to travel to a fellow player is to marry them (rings). It is also one of the methods of obtaining a 2-seat mount.

Some cultures, religions, and real life situations make marrying someone, even in a game, not an option.

I suggest a buddy alternative in which you can only choose 1 buddy (cannot be changed for at least 3 months) where you can have the teleportation benefits (a ring, or, as a buddy, a bracelet) and a 2-seat mount. This would give players who have reasons not to marry still have the chance to play side by side with benefits otherwise not available.

Except eternal bond isn't a marriage ceremony. It's a bond ceremony. That bond can be any bond. A bond between friends, family, lovers, strangers, whatever. That's why there's multiple options for it at the end.

The idea of Eternal Bond is part of the difficulty. (eg. You're married irl and your woman doesn't approve of making Eternal Bonds)
