What would be really fun is allowing a player group to choose a name from a list.

How I imagine this working, is that despite colonization, land names do not solidify until years after occupation, thus, an influential player-group may have the option to name the continent after launch!

How this could go down is in a number of ways: such as first group to a certain level of authority and citizens

The method at the forefront of my mind would involve the use of an NPC leader, and RP'ing that certain player-groups are earning favor, in some way, to eventually influence the NPC leader—the queen I believe. Ultimately, the queen's decision would solidify the continent name for the population at large!

:) What do ya'll think?

No NPC leader - Just simply grow you city and its influence and your authority etc and then you may Name a region and/or city. After that if others in the region have problems they can come try to kill you and occupy the capital city of the region and rename it themselves....if they succeed

I once invented a Pen&Paper Roleplaying world named

"GORDONIA"

The name had no origin but just sounded pretty good...

It was a new world, full of woods, Mountains and wilderness inhabited by normads and pagan tribes ...

The new LIF- Land should be seen like the wild nordic lands of Lithuania and others around, before chistian Orders and Kings conquered them...so every new faction can decide what kind of faction they would like to be...for example an inhabitant tribe or a knightly Kingdom with a Duke or a King...

What if guilds could name locations and the map to their own liking.

Right now my team of folks have agreed upon names for some of the geographical landmarks and use them as reference points. It would be nice if we could mark a map for the guild to see the names, and future members to also see them.

maybe 2-3 smaller continents divided by sea would better than 1 giant pangea and lots of smaller islands seperated on the ocean. And first player who land to one of the continents or islands have a right to rename it

R. A. Whiting wrote:Just to put it out there, one of the main ideas I had for the continent name was something perhaps like "Asteria" after Asterius. Other ideas were a little bit corny (such as The Land of Gold) or just random (vaguely fantastical) names.


Asteria sounds pretty good to me. Then players can name kingdoms, regions and cities/villages.

The Church of the Requesta will be calling the new continent Hesperia, meaning western land.

* Loria
* Arkania
* Firnas
* Lutje Saaxum

Kind regards,

Continent name ideas for you:

Randomly similar to Earth:

Grenlia

Hupora


From Latin:

Terrus Nos Inveniet (The land we found)

Or Zulu:

Izwe Sathola (also the land we found)


Just for some additional ideas...

Don't you mind, that giving some name to the new world is trivial? If y examine the history of culture of any nation, you would realize that the translation of the name of auto-called territory occupied by this nation means either "the land" or "this place" or "the place where we live".

On my opinion, calling the game platform just "The Land" will introduce some rational mystification concept, instead of some stereotyped name as "Arkania/Alkaria/Asmodea..etc". I think it will be a good marketing decision.

If you wanna "justonemorepatheticname" open the World of Warcraft server list and choose any. :)

After putting in several hundred hours, I believe the most used action in-game is Terraforming.
With that said, my suggestion would be:

Terraforma
