Getting rid of surnames

This is where /sea all would be helpful

No i like surnames.

No! Don't get rid of surnames. I like them and I think they add a nice touch to the game.

If it's so hard to type people's name it would be nice if you got the /tell option when you target people (like in wow, aion, ffxi, etc) and that would solve the issue of typing long names.

Other than that... I don't see this happening.

If someone with a long name is standing near you, what you can do is target them and then just type /t <t> Blah blah blah. :cool:

Keep surnames but create a better way to send tells to people.

Definitely preferred... chances are any name you want you can have with it set up this way! (Unless its some stupid unimaginative copy of a name, quite a few out there actually...part of the stupid names list... but there will always be stupid people regardless, especially in regards to names lol)... not to mention it's one of the few mmo's that does this thankfully! Single names are in no way better, just as in real life.

I'm almost certain surnames are here to stay, thank goodness.

I may have read it earlier in this thread, but how about...

Player1 types "/tell + [the first name of Player2]" and the text input displays a small list of everyone's full name that starts with the inputted first name of Player2 for Player1 to select from.

The list could be displayed similar to the auto-translate box that appears when you press tab.

No, because my character's surname is the online name I go by.
And you only need to type their full name if they haven't sent you a tell before.
Most people I send tells to I type the first few letters of their first name and then just use auto-translate to fill the rest in

Just using auto-translate is a lot easier if they've sent you at least one tell before.

So to send a tell to me just type "/tell Esth" then hit auto-translate and if I've sent you a tell (and had my name put in your dictionary) then it will automatically fill in my name
