By your logic, neither are first names, so I guess that means you won't mind if there's 10 "Graym_Inz-Tyr" on the server, right? Bull. If you think it's bad for RP, don't display it. Open up the character panel and disable it. I happen to think it's great for RP, but then again realistically I don't have a thousand hours to spare leveling 8 different characters from several different species and demand they all have different legacy names because I have no life. I fail to see how bonuses would be negated. Having a legacy name isn't necessary to recognise a user's alternate accounts and confer bonuses. The game isn't going to confuse you for someone else and give them all your points. I don't mind having a unique legacy name anyway. I only ask that the surnames be unique. If someone else - or ten someones - was named Graym Inz-Tyr I'd probably have a chuckle about it. I don't really care as long as I get my name. Sometimes people have the same exact names in real life too. Ten would be an odd occurence, but hey, if ten people love my name so much it's kind of flattering, I suppose. Of course, since first names are unique, I can't imagine it ever occuring. Yes, I do think it's bad for RP that 6 or 7 of my characters are either all mono-named oddballs in the vein of Cher or bizarrely tied to my main by a series of awkward rationalisations. You can disagree if you like. If you don't have time to spare leveling eight different characters, then apparently the legacy system is failing in its purpose to entice you to create alts. Shame that. However, you appear to be acknowledging that the experiences of those who do have time to create diverse alternate characters would be better served with altering the legacy system to allow for multiple surnames.

I have to say that I would like to change my Legacy name also. Seems I inadvertently chose a name that is also a title. So here I am seeing all of these other players with the name I picked.

Hey guys I helped my friend get his Legacy name changed, although it isn't easy and obviously won't work for everyone. It is worth a try, or at least a look. http://1stvideogame.com/?p=2515 Also posting in this thread will also speed up things to fix this on their end, keep it up!

+1, another arbitrary limit that only impedes character customization and immersion.

I think a one time name change would be great. I put "The" with my surname because it wouldnt let me use spaces. So now its The and word together. It didnt accept my uppercase letters. Also in the supreme legacy name format, it says The The_____ Legacy. Looks retarded. Please allow Legacy na me change!!!
