A brand new relationship system will be introduced with the upcoming v3.0.3 patch. Family, friendship and marriage relationships can be entered into, with in game bonuses as the reward. Bonuses come in the form of stat enhancement when paired players are grouped together as well as a bonus given to your partner should health fall below a certain level.

Lovers are at the centre of this new feature: players can now get engaged by sending a Love Letter, and finally even marry one another. Frogster will provide the two lovebirds, whether they are straight, gay or lesbian, all the necessary decorum for such an important event. The union of marriage can then be celebrated in a romantic new wedding chapel, where they are going to walk down the aisle in one of two new wedding suits and exchange rings in front of all their friends and guild members.
