Removal of Surnames

I happen to really like my name, there is a good reason for surnames. I mean people can usually get the first name they want since all they have to do is have a different last name. I know there are a lot of not so nice names out there, but regardless of how many names you can have there are ALWAYS going to be people who enjoy the "not so nice" names. Taking away surnames is only going to add to the problem. I mean everyone will have to start finding new names. I know my name "Luna" is used a lot, of course when I created my character I did not know that bec I created mine on release. (remade Luna Flower awhile ago but I still had a character on release) That alone is a good enough reason to just let things as they are.

I admit, I didnt like 2 names at first. Now that I have gotten used to it, I have no problem at all.

/thumbsup <surnames>

I actually read all 22 pages. Didn't see one valid reason for A) no surname or B) Optional

>.> Ctrl-R works for reply.....

I just use my friend list or LS list for that 1st /tell to get it going.


I'm fine with surnames. It would be nice if people thought about them a bit though......I mean, if you really don't care at least have a short one. =p

Mhati Myhre is a great example of how to make it a pain in the auschwitz for someone to remember your name.

I don't see how Mhatimyhre is any different.

Its very different, its worse!

He wouldn't have a surname. He would just select Mhati. People can remember that.

It would be nice, but I am the only "Luna Flower" so im ok with that too. Personally I think my Luna name is better than all the others :] so I am happy with that.

I like my dumb surname, if only because the old Ifrit server doesn't even exist any more. As has been mentioned, I'm also not sure how they'd go about changing the system that's already in place without at least some people being forced to change their first names.

All in all, not a huge issue to me.

I'd forget that just as easily as I'd forget his name WITH the surname. Atleast with it his name sounds less bland and more adventurish I guess.
