Moogie, in response to your points:
First point: Ok, I guess if that\'s the way it must be, then how about a \"Change Name Request\" function or something. I\'ve been hunting for a GM for 2 days now so I can ask for a name change.
Second point: I only want one character, but I could see where if there is a really passionate guild war, someone could create another character and join the opposing guild to see what is going on there. As for the account, I meant more from a DB design perspective. I\'m sure we are all referenced by our IDs in the DB, not \"Moogie\" or \"Janbur\". It looks like to me they could do this reference for guild memberships on our account IDs so that once we are in a guild, we are in a guild regardless of the character we are paying with. In hindsight, if you really want to view it from a role-playing perspective, I suppose someone could do what I mentioned above and play both sides of the fence, in which you wouldn\'t want to do this. You\'d want the ability to have your guild memberships based on your character.
Third point: I\'m not saying to make the last name the unique identifier, I said the full name. So Sue Jones could marry Tom Smith and they could be known as Sue Smith and Tom Smith. However, with what I proposed, there couldn\'t be two Tom Smiths. There could be a Tom Smith and a Tom Jones though. Does that make more sense? I just think that since we are identified uniquely by our full names in real life that it should be that way in the game.
An additional point: You sounded pretty torqued about my suggestions. Wow, this is just a wish list. I didn\'t mean to offend.
