Last Names: Time to expand our own character lore

[OzoAndIndi]

The main benefit to having a "last" name would be to allow multiple people on the same server to have the same first name.

Although if same last names were possible as long as the first was different, if anyone uses mine, well... see you at Christmas I guess. Will be expecting pie.

(Although the maiden name I thought up for my Belf's mother turned out to be a last name used by one NPC, same race, so... well, I guess he's a cousin, my Belf usually /hellos at him when I'm there.)

Same last names would be cool to mark some of your own characters as related though.

WoW wasn't made that way, therefore infrastructure must be overhauled to do it.

So, if they did something major, like Cataclysm, they could justify the change at that time?
