    I am suggesting this is jest. Mainly because I think SoTA could use a little more differentiation to attract more players. I could be wrong though. I am just sharing the idea.

    Consider SoTA supporting
    • Marriage where either spouse shares the sir name.
    • Children (possible grown, or teens) played by any volunteer avatar or alt (even from one of the parent's accounts). Purely RP.
    • Divorce, where either spouse changes the sir name.

    Those three features can lead to family trees and family feuds. It could be a waste of time or evolve into something much more.

    Just a thought...

    Just a heads up, did some post cleanup, removing three posts. Please keep the thread on topic without social commentary ...

    No one's in trouble for the posts we removed and though I am sure they were posted in jest, they were not helping in the discussion of the OP's suggestion.

    I've often pondered how a family system could work in different game worlds.. many many moons ago I thought a good backer reward would've been a reserved, giftable surname that could be spread slowly (probably based on the newer player's account age and or a limited number of gifts per month or quarter or some such) from player to player, shown (or ordered) and hidden at will. properly controlled, the family trees could be fascinating. we'd probably end up with vampire and werewolf clans, though :d

    I think surnames/families would be great. I am also fine with children but that often goes into dangerous territory with mmos.
