A Suitable Surname

I only found out recently that you can have a surname! That's a great idea, but what if you pick the wrong one?

Well I'm learning new things about Mythic's top product all the time! WAR has some fantastic features and a surname is a great idea!

Think of a recent post about guild colours... why have guild colours when you can all unite under one surname? Well a number of reasons... lets have a look and find out.

Firstly not everyone will want to have the same name as other people? Well that's fair enough, but seriously, what's the problem with it? People will be able to refer to a surname when complimenting or complaining about or something like that. Although, when they say... 'it ended in something like chaoswithin' which wouldn't be any help since all members will be named the same.

Guild colours would be a better idea in my opinion, since we would be noticed by the similar colours, and it would look a lot smarter than a bunch of yobbos in mismatch coloured gear. Thinking about it again though, some complete retard can colour his gear the same, just to pretend to be in the guild, but they can do the same with a surname I guess.

I can imagine that all members would turn their nose up if they had to pay it themself, but keeping prices in mind, a surname would be 4g per member, whereas it could be 2g per full colouring per member, which although right now it seems hands down that colours would be cheaper, gear can be upgraded and so will need recolouring, which eventually can turn out to be considerably expensive.

I can only see the guild paying for the first paint job and the player has to pay for it afterwards, but it could also turn out that the guild will pay if (for example) it colours more than 4 items.

With the guild tax, surely it would be more appropriate for the guild to pay it all the time, since it's almost like a payment for paying your guild tax?

So which would it be, a guild surname, guild colours, both or neither?

I have been stumped on a surname also. I wonder if you can change it (pay again of course).

From what I've read, you can actually change your surname, it costs 4g each time you wish to change it.
