I've done it before. only time I wasn't able to add one was after surname had been reported and a gm did the first name_ which is what blocks it. Anytime I have petitioned for a change I have been able to put something else on there at a later time. if not just petition for it ;)

Just make your surname Boobs and it'll get removed on its own. Presto!

They removed this long ago, why im not 100% im guessing classic.

Were you allowed to change your surname at all on live once it was set?

you could petition for anything. back in the day, each server had their own GM assigned and some were stricter about name policies than others.

on povar/xev they would change surnames if there was a reason. i can recall two guildmates who got divorced irl who wanted their surnames changed in game. GMs changed them without any hastle at all.

At some point on live it was changed such that you can /surname every week and overwrite your previous. However I don't recall when that change was made. Definitely not before Luclin though, so if we are keen on staying classic, it's classic. Or if we are keen on saving guides time I think the code for this would exist on emu.

I really don't feel like making a new thread for this, but is it possible for first names? I have a kind of theme to my build based off of Darkstalker Kaathe from Dark Souls. (Gave Lord is also a thing in this game coincidentally) But as you see I didn't plan it out well enough because I created the character as Kaathe... So you see... Maybe if they are a Dark Souls fan they would feel offended that it's bass ackwards?

From personal experience, a Guide/GM will not change a first name unless it violates the naming policy.

Ohhh I bet that was some UGLY guild chat.

Now THAT'S classic EQ, I think way more couples played back then.
