Not sure how many of you are member of the other forums at ironportal so if youre not read the thread below:

Names and Titles

Basically it would be really nice and fun if we could have some sort of family history contest like there was in the begining of Imperian. I know I'm not the only one who wishes to have one so jump on the bandwagon while its still going only 2mph.

I'd personally rather strive to RP out the d'Ilmaur family rise to nobility. I can go for CR5 and get Marquis while building up a monetary base through Tailoring. That sounds a lot more fun to me than winning an auto-nobility contest.

nobody said it had to be a nobility surname -.-my first family in Imperian wasnt a noble family and it was a winner from the histories contest

My basic plan for House Flagg is to just let everyone who has nothing better to do, dosen't know what they are doing, or just don't care join. We will have about 100 members, all with no clear idea of just why they are there but simply happy to have the line in their Honours.

Seriously.

Come now, you can do better than that, mister Flagg.

Refer to the thread, "I hate..." by Kaelar, it might fit excellently for you.

Yes, i've seen that. Surely I am a sower of despair. Do not take me seriously unless there are at least twelve tons of solid evidence backing up my claims. And Guido only weights four, so good luck with the other eight.

I'm with Nepthysia on this one still, just like I was on Ironportal. I still think that the Mobile Name Contest is a cool idea----but only because I want someone to become a Mesherbrub....and I suggested the idea of perhaps having sort of a simultaneous contest that would allow people to create a history of their OWN bloodline and then perhaps have the winner get their family implemented in some sort of event.

im fine with being just a Gladheon

I'm content being Palewynd as well but it would still be interesting to add in histories and mobiles based upon the Palewynd name.

I personally would like to see the rise of the Aegroto family myself within Magnagora. A contest for instint noblity sort of takes out.. Well, the nobility of it you know? Perhaps a contest in which the Gods let a group of mortals form a family history and if they are up to snuff for Lusternia assist or create the family for roleplaying purposes.

That is what I am talking about, I don't want a noble house off of the bat, I just think it would be interesting to be able to get a family with your name.

Indeed. Blood bonding has gone a long way to helping get families going, put for a family history to be submitable would be quite... Empowering.

Perhaps a regulated family system could be implemented? It'd be like a clan only without the channel or (hopefully) cost. It could be available to everyone once they bloodbond or marry and a family history could be put in as well as keeping track of status of the family (various family member rankings in cities/guilds/orders,) and amount of people and once in a while a well developed family is chosen to have their backstory implemented into the game. NPC's could be created in places relevant and perhaps a room or two could be renamed.
