Level 20 Last NameFollow

#1 Jan 27 2005 at 4:23 PM Rating: Decent
Is It true that at level 20 you get to pick a last name? If so is there an auto prompt to do it, or do you have to do a quest or talk to someone? Thanks!!

Yes you can get a last name, and no you do not have to talk to anyone, nor do a quest. Just type in /lastname <name you want> and it adds it to your name... umm, just as a disclaimer the command may be /surname, I forget, it's been a little bit.

I can confirm that WrakeStormwind's first suggestion works as "/lastname" has worked for me.

Please use caution with this... you will not get a prompt to confirm your selection (unless they added it in with the Big Patch). GM's will NOT be able to change your last name if it's not to your liking. You cannot use an apostrophe in your name and you cannot have initial caps (DeirAnon, for example, however Deiranon will work ^_^). I don't think dEiranon will work either.

Does this mean if you pick a last name, you cant use /removesurname like in EQ1?

Just so you know, this was an old post from almost a year ago, and has changed. You can change your name, I believe once every 2 weeks or so. I just had to type it into the personal window that let me choose titles and voices, but that could be part of the thor ui features.

Incorrect, you can use an apostrophe.

Finally found it:

From Live Update 13B:
Quote:
*** Change Your Last Name ***

- You may now change your last name. Just click the button on the Details tab of the Persona window and click the button.
- You may change your name a maximum of once per week.
- Anyone abusing this privilege can have it taken away by a GM, so please be sure you abide by the Naming Privilege Policy posted on the EQ2Players.com site.

*** Last Name Changes ***

- Your last name can now be divided into two parts using either a ` or a '. Roleplayers rejoice!
- Any letter you put after the ` or ' will be capitalized automatically.
- You can now clear your last name using the /lastname command with no arguments.

Holy necro-post!

Not really a necro-post, they actually found the right post to bump to ask their question. I just have gotten into the habit to check dates, especially when I see out dated info.

I wouldnt worry about it, it is better to look foolish, but provide the right information, then to let others be foolish.

Better to remain silent and presumed foolish, than speak out and remove all doubt. :)
