A little more info on the Surname please?

[XS3R4PHX]

I was wondering about the Surname you can give your character at level 20, is it able to be removed?

[Rhambuk]

/sur <name>
if you want a ' in your surname petition for it
if you get sick of your surname petition for removal/change

[rollin5k]

Kind of like you're able to be anything you want when you grow up.

[Byrjun]

It used to be changeable every week but now I think it's permanent unless you petition for a change (and I have no idea what their guidelines are for changing it).

probably just ask nicely. the staff of p99 is chill as fuck

[joppykid]

Petition you want it removed. I just did it on two of mine last night. Usually gets done pretty quick. Both times 5 minutes after petition.

[BillyCranston]

You should be able to do /surname and leave it blank to remove your surname. They're supposed to be once a week?

[Lisset]

on live, if you wanted to remove it the GM would change it to a _ which wouldn't show up as anything but it would also prevent you from adding a new name.

So if I ask GM to remove my surname, will I be able to later add a new one? I would like to get rid of my surname, but I am not really sure about new one, just wanna keep the first name for some time before I decide.

I've done it before. only time I wasn't able to add one was after surname had been reported and a gm did the first name_ which is what blocks it. Anytime I have petitioned for a change I have been able to put something else on there at a later time. if not just petition for it ;)

[myxomatosii]

Just make your surname Boobs and it'll get removed on its own. Presto!

They removed this long ago, why im not 100% im guessing classic.

Were you allowed to change your surname at all on live once it was set?

[fastboy21]

you could petition for anything. back in the day, each server had their own GM assigned and some were stricter about name policies than others.

on povar/xev they would change surnames if there was a reason. i can recall two guildmates who got divorced irl who wanted their surnames changed in game. GMs changed them without any hastle at all.

At some point on live it was changed such that you can /surname every week and overwrite your previous. However I don't recall when that change was made. Definitely not before Luclin though, so if we are keen on staying classic, it's classic. Or if we are keen on saving guides time I think the code for this would exist on emu.

I really don't feel like making a new thread for this, but is it possible for first names? I have a kind of theme to my build based off of Darkstalker Kaathe from Dark Souls. (Gave Lord is also a thing in this game coincidentally) But as you see I didn't plan it out well enough because I created the character as Kaathe... So you see... Maybe if they are a Dark Souls fan they would feel offended that it's bass ackwards?

From personal experience, a Guide/GM will not change a first name unless it violates the naming policy.

Ohhh I bet that was some UGLY guild chat.

Now THAT'S classic EQ, I think way more couples played back then.

I got married on Quellious to someone for the gifts. We had a ceremony and everything. I was 14.

In hindsight, i'm pretty sure the other person was a dude. 'Nadina' if you're out there - i'm on to you. Took half my shit in the divorce.

Rofl, very funny story.

As I recall the only wedding I ever went to was held on top of the Kaladim entrance, I think it was on 7th hammer server, with a guild named "Longbeards".

You had to use levitate from the huge hill in front to get on top, but hey, was a nice ceremony. Plenty of short beers.

[arsenalpow]

The only first name I've ever personally seen changed was Hatelores being changed to Hatelore.

[khanable]

I've had a character completely renamed (first/last)

Ended up deleting him because he sucked anyway

I rule/gm favoritism/etc

That's awesome... I just can't believe I made that mistake. It's just that the ideas came flowing more as I played and things just come together nicely aside from the name, even though it's not bad. I reserved Darkstalker as a first name either way as the same character, but I have been playing so many new characters and changing mains so often that I have spent a lot of time with the game and my main is only 26 at the moment and I just think it would be a bit rough to start over on another Troll SK just for the name. I started on one car to 15, then another to 18, then another to 20s and a bunch of other 6-12s and I just finally want to get somewhere as I really love my SK. I mean I know I could transfer all my aquired gear and weapons, but that's just a bit depressing really and stupid I didn't plan it out better. I just don't want to petition with something and irritate them or have them know me as that guy petitioning about stupid things and wasting their time.
