Removal of Surnames

[Enthy]

How about an option on which name you want displayed over your head? But when some one checks you they see your full name in chat log. for example my name is Enthy Paradox but i just want the name Enthy Shown.

Would still cause too much congestion. Not your name, but those who have a more common name in place such as real names or previous FF based character names such as myself.

[Gun_Anam]

optional surnames? please no. so there's me, Gun Anam, and another person called just Gun who decided not to use a surname.

person types /tell Gun Anam hello

Who gets the message? There needs to be a standard. It's simple. Everyone has 2 names, everyone can see 2 names for other people, don't change things that work.

I like surnames. It makes people think a little more about their name and you get to see a lot of creative names, for example, Belgian Rofl. Thankfully, because of surnames, we can see that it's not just any old Belgian being a troll, it's someone imaginatively named Belgian Rofl.


Gun Anam,
meaning Without Soul (ie. Soulless), not just Without.

[Enthy]

meh just a thought q(' _ .)p

I believe the only reason for surnames was because of the drama that occurs 8 years down the road when you have to merge servers...

You misplaced Years for Months.

I agree on removal, i hate surnames.

[MikanJuusu]

hmm maybe it's probably been said before~ but at this point i don't really think it's possible to remove surnames (since there are already multiple people with the same first name in my server)~ or to have it be an option because of Gun_Anam said~ but i would totally be down for the following:

- ability to hide surnames
- be able to click on a person directly and send them a tell (if you can now, how do you do it??)

Oh shut the hell up. Troll? Are you serious? How about you get some insults that don't seem as if you're a 28 year old virgin mary who sits upstairs in her parents house wondering why virtual games is the only place she gets respect. Making me physically sick to the stomach.

Belgian. This thread seriously has to go. The thing you need to point out as a problem is the search functions. If they sorted those functions out you'd never have a problem with someone's name as long as you knew at least some of it.

Well, thank you for proving that you are indeed a Troll.
I wouldn't prove that as clearly as you just did by raging against me for no reason and calling me stuff, whatsoever.

Llan Hana.

I like my full name. Two names and better then one.

Actually I'm going to go ahead and use your own term against you. Troll. Aren't you basically just being a troll by talking off subject without coming up with a conclussion on how to state a couple points about how this thread could be of good use? Example: My talk of search function being the true problem. Not surnames. Or Gun Anam's post about how will that affect the community if everyone has to revert back to a single name. Mikan's suggestion that they should allow you to click on the person and be able to click a command to send an automatic tell.

All these idea's are helping this discussion in one way or the other. Seems to me that if anyone is trolling on about nothing, it would be you. Stop being a troll, Llan Hana. Post some sort of counter rebuttal with points of concept. If not, shut the hell up.

Gun Anam I love the name by the way. Using words to describe a meaning of relation to the name. I really wish I could use my Xbox Live Gamertag of Fortune Of Terror which means a prediction of fear......But it's three words instead of two. Makes me want to cry or wish I could include "Of" in there completely independent somehow.

what would alleviate a lot of the problems is when you type

/tell firs-

a little dropdown would appear filling out matches for names that are

A) on your friends list
B) in your area
C) have recently said something in your chat log.
D) have sent you a tell
(, obviously with the more of the name you type out the more exact it will be.)

then you would click the appropriate name and it would
1) give that name priority for subsequent tells
2)replace /tell firs- with /tell firstname lastname
