Marriage name change policy.

[HR-Hannah]

Those of you wishing to roleplay marriage can now assist or email me at Hr-Hannah@haelrahv.com to have your last name either changed or hyphenated.

Couple of rules:
Both characters must ok the name change.
If you decide to divorce or its over you are stuck with the name.

[ethrstorm]

that's pretty cool. Thanks in advance.

Not to be a wet hen, but maybe make it so only those level 2 or higher, or 5 or higher can marry? otherwise i have a feeling you'll be dumped with a buttload of baby marriages that come and go

I agree with you, Nivza. Players should be cautioned to think it over, and a level delay would give them that time.

I would say like other lands..you must reach a certain level in order to have a GM wedding but for name changes? I don't know...it was never allowed before. I would say I agree with Nivza somewhat. Maybe a fee should be the right thing rather than level wise. For instance..what if you want to marry someone who is 10 levels under you? Does that make that person not worthy of carrying his or her name? Not sure but it's a great idea.

[Nivza]

Nah not talking about the diff in levels, but i.e. Level 2 or Level 5 before they can marry

My personal opinion is that if the people are "that young" they have reallocations anyway. If they are that serious about the name change, they'll get it.

[Chevonne]

damn, i didn't finish my post before i pushed submit...

What i meant to say was that if the characters are below level 5 anyway and they just want the same name, they can just reallocate if it's that important. If they are that young and used all their reallocates.. SORRY!

Either it's not that important, or it is. Having said that, there are people who have been here longer than all that.. (way above 5th, 10th etc, level) who have use them all up and this seems really cool for them.

I agree with a "level limit"

but, yeah, in a nutshell i don't think characters under level 5 or maybe even 10 should be allowed this priveledge. Otherwise, simply put, to quote Nivza "i have a feeling you'll be dumped with a buttload of baby marriages that come and go"

To clarify a few things about this:

* You do not have a hyphenate name. Mary Jones can take Fred Smith's last name and become Mary Smith per tradition (or vice-versa) if desired.

* Last names cannot exceed 15 characters in length, including the hyphen if one exists and any other characters such as an apostraphe, etc.

* Just to reiterate, this doesn't mean we're now doing weddings for people, we're just offering to do name changes if you have a wedding you have handled on your own.

* I do agree with the concerns re: a level requirement so I'm going to sort of off the cuff toss one out there. Players who wish to have a name change due to vows they have taken need to both be level 10+ (poor Hannah doesn't even know about this decision yet <g>).

* If you wish to have your last name changed in such manner, please contact HR-HANNAH@HAELRAHV.COM.

[HR-Trevor]

I can see such requests potentially getting very much out of hand. So at this time, wedding-related only, sorry.
