currrently, it is possible for an eve, to give oneself the same FAMILY name as another family (on the same server).
when bells ring a lot, the player can guess easily, what families may live near the bell, and migrate towards it.
two families of the same name can murder the other family members (even with war swords) with no direct ranking penalty, because thy count as two different families.
But it may end with many confused players on a silly vengeance.
i have not yet tested cursing another family member of the sane family name than self.
because the smarter impostor-eves only imitate family names of the same hairstyle, mmorizing one name foreach class, to blend in more easily than the ginger within the black family with the same family name. so its generally hard to tell an impostor family.
last week we had many dual families, live together in the same town(s), mostly in harmony.
only because this silly explot fools many people into thinking, their family is less lonely than it actually is.
most people are easily fooled by this, assuming a family is bigger than it is, when it is actually two families, often mixed over two towns.
qin family was like this for 2 days.
well, if youre happy with that illusioin, run with it, but in the end its a Cooco tactic, where a baby replaces all the foreign children of a naive adoptive mother violently.
its not necessarily bad, but as with all the things in this game, its an exploit that most likely mostly benefits griefers, and consufes new players more over time.

the ability to set oneselfes family name seems to be unnecessarsy.
it may be better when unique names are just given at randomm, at least where ever a name is currently taken.
sure, that could be sued to test if any foreign faqmily is still alife or not, but thats the minor explit.
this could go as far as being a reward system, where high ranked players may reserve an available family name for a while.
surely some names are much more famous than others.
a minor problem is, confusion caused by two families with the same name, but on different official servers. they can not mix, but they sure can confuse.

How is this not resolved by the "No Relation" attached to the name?
