If you were listening to the Twitch stream. It's like crossing the line between the major empires controlling power and capsuleers controlling power. |

Do they not sell dictionaries or something anymore in the countries where you guys live? It just means a point of no return. While the river may have something to do with the contemporary meaning of the word, CCP did not name this expansion after a river. :P |

Lack of POS fixes?!? You're getting a POS replacement, part one. |

Zaxix wrote:It's worth noting that the significance of crossing the rubicon and "the die is cast" isn't that Caesar went on to win. It was that it was a total gamble, an incredible risk. It only gets its victorius overtones in hindsight. At the time he said the words, what he was really saying is "we're as good as dead but there's no going back."
The equivalent of that in Japan is to say "leap off of Kiyomizu Temple." Just a little trivia for the trivia-oriented types. |

Novia Ephrael wrote:It is an excellent choice of name, pretty obviously chosen because of the 'crossing the Rubicon' being a reference to the Capsuleers beginning to take over Empire space - An action that we can't take back once we start to do it.
I can't wait to run l10 mission where we take on gangs of NPC titans.
There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

Seriously, a 5-second google search returned the following.
Rubicon - A limit that when passed or exceeded permits of no return and typically results in irrevocable commitment.
Along with the Julius Caesar implications I think its a great expansion name. |
