Removal of Surnames

[Rhianu]

Not having clear rules causes confusion. So no, either you give sunames to everyone or you have everyone with only a name

Having clear rules is fine, but that doesn't mean we can't allow for different options.

All SE would need to do to make it clear is simply put the word "optional" in parenthesis next to the surname field during character creation. That way people would know that they can have a surname if they really want to, but they're not forced to use one if they don't.

I think if you consider the people that WANT a surename but only a first is available, then they suffer the same limit to creative freedom.

Yes, which is why I specifically stated that surnames should remain available as an option. They should be there for people who want to use them, but they should not be mandatory.
