Marriage

Harmony Attire pre-order pack cosmetic costume.

There is a marriage mechanic in Ashes of Creation, including same-sex marriages.

Marriage may unlock different activities that are not available to characters who are not married.

• Interaction with the freehold system.
• Unlocking certain node quests.
• Impacts on social organizations.
• Other mechanics will be discussed in the future.

There are not plans for gender neutral neutral pronouns. However our marriage system which will be present does not take into account gender. So two individuals of any sex will be able to utilize the marriage system and we feel that that's pretty important to really reflect the nature the cultures in Ashes of Creation: That it does not have that conflict present in this fantasy world that we may have experienced in the past in our real world; and that's a good place both from a sanctuary standpoint through people who are maybe experiencing that in the real world to kind of get away from it in the fantasy world: We wanted to provide that type of outlet. – Steven Sharif

Family names

Characters will have a first-name and an optional surname (family name).

• There is a minimum length of three for a character name.

Character names will appear on the character sheet and optionally on the character website page.

• In-game a character's name is displayed above their head. This can be the first or last name.

Roleplaying

Backpack sockets (slots).

A big component of the MMORPG that - half of that you know acronym is RPG role-playing game. And in order to role-play you need to be able to represent kind of what your character is doing in that world and you know part of what animation is doing is creating these sockets on the let's say the belt or the back that you know can plug in certain types of props or items that are created by the character team, like Carson, you know might be a scroll tube, it might be a potion, it might be whatever: Those players will have the ability as we've discussed in the past will have the ability to select what they want to be represented in those sockets and then animation will make sure that jibe well in movement. – Steven Sharif

There are different systems that allow stories to be told in Ashes of Creation.

• Musical instruments.
• Dance.
• Easter eggs out in the world.
• Social buildings provide spaces for players to gather and tell/share stories, while also affecting the game and interacting with the world.
  • The node government system builds into this.
• Parlor games.
• Players can run a business based on role playing.

A MMO lives and breathes on its community and we don't really want to give short shrift to any one of those types. All of them are important: the RPers are important, the people who just want to hang out in the Inn and talk are important, they all add to the game and so we want to make sure that we take care of all of them... You can run a business based on RPing. – Jeffrey Bard
