Binomial Nomenclature and /tell /target commands

[Alhanelem]

Sending tells and inviting people was troublesome typing out some long name with 2 names in it. Why not just switch everyone to 1 name in 2.0?

Because

1) some people like having surnames and being regarded in a professional manner by some NPCs and a casual manner by others, and so role players can do things like create characters that are relatives of eachother (e.g. same last name) and so on.
2) there are plenty of ways to address the /tell issue without removing the surnames.

I havent used kb mouse in 7 years on an MMO i dont intend to use one now.

You'd be one of the few. One of the reasons most UI functionalities in most PC software today utilize the mouse is ebcause it is an easy and intuitive to use input device. Virtually all MMOs outside of FFXI were primarily played with keyboard and mouse.

That being said, i'm sure there will be a hotkey for it or something that you can bind to a button. I'm rather curious how you typed in people's names for tells in FFXI without a keyboard.
