Thanks for all the replies.

I'm just going to accept I need to pick different names for my characters so I can have multiple classes.

Oh no! You've been deleting them?? Like poor Cen? Yes, you should definitely come up with more names and use them. I used to write a backstory for each, but these days I just spend a week deciding on a name. You can also do the old "Bobby, Bobbyy, and Bobbyyy" thing some players do. I have a character named Aeleus and made some mules on the same account named Beleus, Celeus, Deleus, Eeleus, and so on to store extra items for later.

Secondly - make a new loginserver account for each character. Tons of reasons to do so. Preserve corpse rez timer, play together with friends/family, have your friend log onto your druid to port/buff you, etc.

Does anyone know if you can have the same surname on different classes? Are they unique, or per account unique etc?

Any number of characters can have the same surname. The entire server could pick the same surname. Only first names are unique.

I might recreate my druid from old live and role play as a helper again, rather than limit myself to the same arcane caster I've been playing recently in other games.

A smart long-term strategy. Necro is also a good "help my other characters" class because they can solo and earn platinum rapidly and consistently.
