<DIV>I remember that movie, actually in my fav column.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Who's the masta? Shonuff!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Maybe you should have done Bruce Leeroy instead <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Im surprised unless they are locking last names down as people request them.  Didnt they do this in EQ1 and you could only share the same lastname by getting married in game or getting permission from the GMs?  I can't remember if this is true or not,  but I thought it was something like that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My lastname is Gnomefu, so it seems like you should be able to do Shonuff.</DIV><p>Message Edited by tkemory on <span class=date_text>12-03-2004</span> <span class=time_text>08:55 AM</span>

<DIV>The name server imposes rules, set up by SoE, when determining whether any name, first or last, is allowed. It's strange how some names won't get in and others will (tells me the name checker engine has lots of holes). From what I've heard you can't even expect to get it if you /petition as GMs have supposedly expressly stated they will not do anything for last names. Trust me they will if someone petitions a name, just not if you ask. Did you try other combos like shownuff, etc? Might sneak one close in.</DIV>
