With our next update, Runes of Magic will introduce a relationship system that allows two players to commit to each other in a relationship. Depending on the type of relationship, players will then be rewarded with special in-game bonuses.
Lovers are at the center of this new feature. You can now get engaged by sending a Love Letter and eventually even marry one another. We will provide the two lovebirds with all the necessary decorum for such an important event. The union of marriage can be celebrated in a romantic new wedding chapel, where you will walk down the aisle in one of two new wedding suits and exchange rings in front of all your friends and guild members.
Besides love and married couples, Patch 3.0.3 will implement several other types of relationships, including Family or Friendship. Two players can declare themselves family members or best friends simply by exchanging a special object that can be bought in the city of Varanas. A character can link up to 20 other avatars through these relationships with just one marriage.
Relationships grant players bonuses when they are together in a group. These bonuses can raise one of their statistics or offer the chance to get a rare object when defeating monsters, for example. Also, characters bound together will be granted a special bonus when their counterpart’s health drops under a certain level. Damage inflicted by family members will be increased when they fight together, and part of the health of two friends fighting together will be restored.
These bonuses get more and more efficient as the link between the two characters becomes deeper; defeating foes together grant them relationship points and help them to get through the 10 different levels of this system. If the time comes when you would like to go your separate ways, all links between characters can be ended simply by removing them in the Friends interface in the game.
