Dunno about anyone else these days but I play with firstnames only just because anything else seems to cluttered especially with people who insist on a) having long ass names and b) are in guilds with excessively long ass names.

Some random examples culled from eqrankings

Keyline Wintermystic/Order of the Golden Staff
Moseby Dirtysouth/Kindred Spirit Guardians
Basharteg Burzmali/New Elements of Power

So while it might be kinda cool to have the titles for the most part I'd never see them anyway (so it wouldn't add much.) Or if I did it'd be turn on full names take a glance and check and then turn them right back off.

If something like this were implemented I'd much prefer to see it as some sort of character linked particle effect/look change than anything else. Like maybe the more AA a druid had the greener his skin and hair got regardless of his race/shade. The more AA a cleric got the more visible (less see through) some halo over his head got .. Could have it glow/emit light after a certain point too, could have wizzies hair start flaming, etc all sorts of things, you could even have multiple things for each class and let somebody pick which one they wanted just like facial features.

Shrug, there's better ways to do this than with new titles (granted new titles would be the easiest thing for them to implement.
