Re-use Surname's??Follow

#1 Jun 24 2004 at 8:15 PM Rating: Decent
I was just wondering if it is possible to re-use a Surname of a character you once used on a diffrent account. My character would have been about 4 years old but I dont believe I ever deleted him. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this before and it didn't work for me, but that's just me. But I do know that you can change your surname once a week though.

As far as I know, anyone can have any surname, anytime.

There can also be multiples of the same surname, so it shouldn't be a problem

Yes, you can reuse a surname. I have 2 toons who have the same surnames as 2 other toons. (Both toons are married to the other toons... :) )

Just type /surname <type name here>

while you're in game. You can change your surname once a week.

yeah any names at all, such as:

Thischarecterisbroughttoyoubycocacola

and

yantisisaliveandwellwtsppfordollarspst

editted to remove hypothetical last name which seemed too offensive

I got error messages when choosing a surname for my last Ranger, indicating that it had already been used.

Not right, you can diffinately use a surname more than once. I know for a fact that whole "families" on my server run around with the same surname.

Are you sure it's not being rejected for some other reason ie - just being rejected by the filter. Alternatively are you aware you can only change your surname once every seven days?.

Yes you can. You may need to petition for it. I am running 2 characters right now, 2 different accounts that have the same last name. I RP them as sisters, woodelf ranger & druid, both have Stormdancer as their last name.

Ditto. Jonwin Cogburn and on my other account Winjon Cogburn.
My good friend in game is Audraina Wolfsbane a cleric. A second friend, when he leveled his cleric high enough, also took the name Wolfsbane.

Quoted directly from EQlive:

Surname Policy:

Surnames may not contain spaces

Surnames may contain double capitals provided that the capital letters do not violate any of the prior policies.

Surnames may contain an accent ( ` ) provided that the division created does not violate any of the prior policies. This accent is the only non-alpha character that is allowed in surnames.

Any number of Customers may have the same surname. Customers wishing to use a surname that's rejected by the name filter need only request in-game assistance using the /petition command.
