I can't belive ppl are using tells and party invites as arguments... are you retarded or what?? Geez it's not like people are spelling their names, all you have to do is READ and TYPE, if you can't do that I highly suggest you to delete your char and go attend primary school.

I'm sorry but all the argument against surnames are just ridiculous, while they have so many pros: they add depth to the char, create connections betwen chars (i know many ppl with the same surnames that are either relatives or close friends) and obviously they make sure that everyone get to call themselves how they want.

Asking to get rid of surnames implies that A LOT of ppl currently playing will have to change their names into something that isn't their first choice and that just because some ppl were too lazy/dumb to deal with surnames... imho that's quite selfish.
