Gravity Interactive has introduced a marriage system, along with all the joy and sorrow that it entails, for Ragnarok Online. The update allows players to enter into wedded bliss with an elaborate ceremony complete with an elegant tuxedo and wedding dress.

Much like real life, marriage carries distinct advantages and disadvantages. For instance, husbands and wives can teleport each other to their sides using the Romantic Rendezvous ability. This ability if perfect for married couples separated by great distances that want to have a "quickie" game session. However, husbands and wives can also use the ability to summon wayward spouses without their permission, no matter how much "extra-marital" fun they're having on their own.

Married couples are also given magical wedding rings. The rings give the bride and groom the abilities Undying Love and Loving Touch, which allow them to sacrifice some of their spell points or hit points to restore their spouses.

Until death do they part doesn't break the bonds of marriage in Ragnarok. Players planning to marry each other should consider carefully. A divorce system will be instituted in the next few months, but the cost of a divorce is expected to be more than twice the cost of getting married.
