Hey..are there any 'in-game- benefits to marriage?
Like, gaining extra XP while in a group, or something of the like?
Thanks

No. There are no marriage mechanics.

IIRC It was originally planned that after getting married, you could have offspring.
It wasn't implemented though.
Woulda helped the server population somewhat I think

Oh really ? NPC kids ? Why wasn't it implemented ? I know it would give many a good reason to get married...

It was one of the many great original ideas (intelligent plants, guild stats website etc etc) that never made it into practical usage.
IIRC, the intent was as you aged your stats degraded and the child would be a blend of the 2 parents. After the birth you were to lose your (x2) parents characters but the child would inherit the traits of both parents. Obviously, not something easy within the game mechanics.
Since the story hasn't really advanced, would suck to grow old already before having seen the Goddess

It was not NPC kids, it would have been an alt and your main char would have gotten old and died. With as long as it takes to get XP in this game I'm glad they dropped the kids.
