 Makes sense.  Presumably, you will want to make it clear what is the
title the character has chosen, and what titles the character has earned.
So if you get the title of 'retriever of the kings crown' for some
quest, and a player decides to 'title' himself with that, it would
be clear what title is really his and what is effectively a
nickname.

      Of course, it is obvious. That's why I suggested a "title" command, so they

 Presumably, examining another player (via clicking on them) would show
you all the titles they may have.  I suppose also that if we allow
characters to build monuments, the monument may list their titles.

 Otherwise, other than cosmetic/fun, do multiple titles have any real efect?
I suppose you could have checkers check the characters title, but
presuming they got the title from some source, just as easy to add
an invisible object that contains the title as well as key for the
inventory checker.

 All in all, this is probably not a hard thing to do, and probably no
big reason not to do it.  OTOH, if this is a feature most people
don't care about or look at, there is then the question if it worth doing
at all.
