Hi all!
See subject line - I'm just wondering what you all think might happen if the last surviving man or woman bearing the name of a Bloodline dies. Is the name lost forever? Any custom crests built during Expo (or before) that people with Bloodline pledge packages have built, do they disappear?
Conversely, will new families and bloodlines be founded in the course of the game, or will we just be seeing generation on generation of the family names founded this in the opening weeks?
For example - a ward of the state or someone born to a bloodline but disowned; can those characters go on to found their own bloodline and dynasty with a unique name and crest?
On a personal level, I intend to found a family and bloodline with my pledge package, but I'm not an enormous fan of the massive sprawling family tree kick. I intend only to have a small family, especially in the beginning, and populate the characters with my friends. If, in the first few months of Elyria, by misfortune or design are wiped out without leaving any more children, will I no longer be able to play with my custom surname and family crest?
Let me know your thoughts and concerns!
