Getting rid of surnames

[Kam]

awesome, i mentioned on like page 4 that naming ones character was culturally informed, as well as socio-economic and life-infulenced.

the naming of people's characters seems to an integral part of this debate - and i'm not arguing for any of that freedom to be denied to people that want that.

I'd just like the same individual freedom to have a singular name - and as far as this "debate" has gone - It is mostly a community issue.

I know what you mean, after all, I played WoW for 5 years, so I had to get used to the whole 'single name; system.

Now that I'm playing a game with a first & last name system though I'm enjoying the extra options open to me because of it. But if people still wanted to use single names on their characters, well, that's their choice, i'm not about to say that their personal preference in character naming is wrong, only that what they're requesting may be difficult to put in place or a lay ways off seeing any possibility of being made yet.

Same as it's a long ways away before I see an mmo where my character could randomly strumble or trip, or sneeze, or cough. They aren't groundbreaking or even slightly game changing, but it's something I've always wanted to see in an MMO, simply 'cos it makes your character seem more believable if it acts like a real person. But that is only one small facet of what I'd like as an addition to simple character animations.

I'll admit almost 4,500 views wouldn't have been made without such a controversial topic name.

THE NAME IS MISLEADING. SEE PAGE 20 FOR CLARIFICATION.

I'd like to hear peoples opinions on this. I've had a few discussions in game with friends and some are for, some are against.

Personally I'm not much of a fan. "/tell Charles whatthehellstupidlongname" is wearing thin.

I couldn't care less about whether or not other people get rid of their surnames.. as long as I can keep mine. :3
