Is there a reason (mechanics, etc) that we can't have last names brought back in to Platinum? We certainly have far fewer characters, I know we can duplicate names that are in prime so I assume its on a different name database? Would help with some RP issues. Thanks!

I have asked several times over the last few months for a brief update as to what's going on with last names, with no response. All I would like to hear is something on the order of 'not ready yet' or 'it's on the back burner'. Or, 'we're never bringing last names back'. I don't care what the answer is, I would just like to hear what the status is. Any GM's out there able to comment on it?

Just to give you a hard time Solstitia, I like to RP also even if I'm in Prime ::wink:: But seriously make with the last names would ya? Please? no really, like yesterday? ::beg:: ::beg:: ::beg:: ::beg:: ::beg::
Really though I'd take just about anything at this point. If the new system is not working why not reinstate the old method till you get it right? Anything is better than nothing.

Well see, in prime, theres simply such a large number of character names generated, i can see the need to have taken away last names until the time came when a new system was installed that enabled multiple characters to have the same last name... but Platinum, is MUCH smaller, so I simply thoguht to start small, not that Prime people don't RP. (Though seriously not many do, that's why I left <grins at Hanryu>)

Yea if I had to do the whole thing over again I'd so file my immigration papers in Haven. These Crossing dolts have been botching the process from the beginning! Must be the apostrophe, they just don't get it. I had all the paperwork filled out and it was just waiting to be processed. Then during an invasion one of the clerks forgets to blow out his scented candle as he runs for cover like a ninny and the whole section of last names T to Z goes up in smoke! Of course they don't keep backups, and you can't make copies of official documentation, so I have to apply ALL OVER AGAIN!! So now that I've filled it out again, they say there upgrading the application management process to some new-fangled gnomic-moonie contraption that's supposed to store the data on this blinking star-chart thing where a bright start is on and black star is off, but thats also the same as saying 1 and 0 which you can use to write some funky language I've never heard of! Sounds like a bunch-a hooey to me! But they swear this won't burn down, and its supposed to be secure and not get an infection!?! But how's my last name gonna get sick, since when can it bleed?!? Well to make matters worse the tax collectors office is looking for me cause I should be paying taxes but I can't cause I don't have a number, and I can't get a number since I don't have a last name, and they won't walk right next door to the immigration office and look at my blinking star-chart, on off, funky language, application thingy that can't get sick to see I don't even live in Crossings anymore so I shouldn't be paying taxes there ... and Dear Everild so help ME!!!
