Can we have Surnames in WoW please?

Surnames would be great in the world of warcraft to elevate the feeling of names being taken by people who no longer play the game.

It would also feel great if you’re on an RP server.

of names being taken by people who no longer play the game.

Reality is that those names are just held hostage by people who want to use them on later chars / sell them for gold, else they would be freed upon after 2 expansions of no gametime renewal. And if thats the case another person could simply get the name too making you be out of luck once again.

I don’t like it.

Would be filled with:

Deez nuts

Super mario

Chicken burger et al.

At least having a single names makes it look stupid when people do it.

On an RP Server you can just download TRP or MRP and you get an option to put in a surname, or even change your character name. My Human Footwoman has the character name ‘Dewilde’ but that isn’t the actual name I wanted, using TRP I was able to change it to ‘Ginette Nixon’ which is what anyone with those add-ons will see if they mouse over the character. Good thing is that MRP and TRP are compatible, you only need one and you can see the other.
Truly a Gods send for RP realms…

While if we had surname, the person would’ve looked as genius.

The only thing looking stupid is your argument right there.

Surnames will make whispering harder, wow’s system isn’t built for it and they probably break more to implement it than it ‘helps’ people like you by implementing it.

Some games just allow any name to have spaces in it, creating the illusion of a surname or just long titles etc. Others make you choose a surname across your account, per realm etc.

I do think free reign for x number of characters with spaces gets very messy and silly.

It is frustrating not being able to use the name you want. I do appreciate that the older the game gets the worse it is to find a free variation of the name you want to create. I hate having to use special letter with accents to get a name but I do have some.
