Cagot Gallente Arcanus	Posted - 2007.12.18 17:03:00 - [1] I like the new names for the Drone regions announced in the latest news item -- classy choices! H3J8-U û Cobalt Edge 6HL8-L - Outer Passage VU-WU2 û The Spire 7-KXBJ - Etherium Reach 87-1CW - Kalevala Expanse LQ-OQN - Malpais S-I6VU - Perrigen Falls G5KW-3 - Oasa Well done, you.
Messingaround	Posted - 2007.12.18 17:10:00 - [2] Yeah, CONCORD chose well! Not sure if any of those actually came from the players in the naming committee though, as there are some rumors...
Iracham Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.18 17:19:00 - [3] I don't much care for Oasa, but the others are all nicely done imo.
Taua Roqa Minmatar Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.12.18 17:24:00 - [4] sounds like wow locations 2b-qfh. -------------------------------------------- Threads are stacking-nerfed; the more posts you add the less effective those posts are. mooooooo.
Troye Gallente Strix Armaments and Defence	Posted - 2007.12.18 17:26:00 - [5] But what do they mean? Do they refer to specific players or parts of the backstory? _______________________________________________ EVE is dying, we are all doomed...
cal nereus Bounty Hunter - Dark Legion Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:10:00 - [6] All the other region names have meanings, definitions and history. What do the drone region names mean? Outer Passage seems like the only one I can fully support. --- Join BH-DL Skills
Jennai The Greater Goon GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:15:00 - [7] these names are awful much like the drone regions
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:29:00 - [8] Made it easy to sever any ties we had to that place, we'll start pulling our resources out of there when we can be assed to go there again to begin with, never to return. These names are as inspiring as The Great Wildlands. What's next Bountyful Praerie? Not one of them carry a hint of who the regions original inhabitants are. I guess they could be saved from complete failure if one of the writers get on it and get some good backstories up for how they got their names other than; 'We got a number of powergamer mathgeniouses, who seems to be hellbent on the grind currently present in the drone regions. We got them together and picked their brains about names that'd sell these regions for years to come to a wide variety of people coming into the game. That folks is how the names came to be, the end.' Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Kirjava Lothian Quay Industries Zzz	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:31:00 - [9] Hang on - you mean that "Kirjavan Empire" wasn't selected as a region name. I am shocked and appauled ~Nyron
darklegionca Caldari OrdoDraconis Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:35:00 - [10] Cobalt Edge i think someone was watching bsg too much when they though of this name ------------------------------------ darklegionca - One name. One legend.
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:36:00 - [11] Originally by: Kirjava Hang on - you mean that "Kirjavan Empire" wasn't selected as a region name. I am shocked and appauled Though Kalevala is in there, only the most epic piece of litterature to ever come out of Finland. Why not put some MacBeth in there while you're at it? Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Tareath	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:44:00 - [12] Sounds like a tribute to Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time) Perrin is one of the chars (close to Perrigan) The Spire (Spire of the world I think? Mountain range) Or, I could be off-base here
Talla Hurzin	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:51:00 - [13] Originally by: cal nereus All the other region names have meanings, definitions and history. What do the drone region names mean? Outer Passage seems like the only one I can fully support. And even then just simple "Passage" would have been better. Sounds too close to Outer Ring. Same with Cobalt Edge. Remove Cobalt and you have a simple but effective name.
Grytok moon7empler Ev0ke	Posted - 2007.12.18 19:43:00 - [14] Originally by: Danton Marcellus Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 18/12/2007 18:39:24 Originally by: Kirjava Hang on - you mean that "Kirjavan Empire" wasn't selected as a region name. I am shocked and appauled Though Kalevala is in there, only the most epic piece of litterature to ever come out of Finland. Why not put some MacBeth in there while you're at it? I'd rather like to see this removed from EvE, beeing a finnish citizen. If not I'll hereby call all finnish people to force CCP reading the whole Kalevala at the next Fanfest for the audience . Work in progress: EvE FlashMAP
Princess Jodi Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.12.18 19:59:00 - [15] Ummm... the Cobalt Edge does not have any Cobalt moons in it.
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.12.18 20:04:00 - [16] Originally by: Princess Jodi Ummm... the Cobalt Edge does not have any Cobalt moons in it. My guess is if you name it it will come. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2007.12.18 21:26:00 - [17] Somehow I am thinking about Greenland when I am reading this. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute
flashfreaking LFC FreeFall Securities	Posted - 2007.12.18 21:34:00 - [18] Yeah, nice names, to bad Vallium didn't get picked :D Disallowed sig graphic. Send an e-mail to [email protected] when it meets the forum signature guidelines. ~Saint
Sakura Nihil Stimulus	Posted - 2007.12.18 21:45:00 - [19] H3J8-U û Cobalt Edge (Nice) 6HL8-L - Outer Passage (Okay) VU-WU2 û The Spire (Eh) 7-KXBJ - Etherium Reach (Blah) 87-1CW - Kalevala Expanse (Shrugs) LQ-OQN - Malpais (No hablo espanol, senor. Donde esta el bano?) S-I6VU - Perrigen Falls (Eh) G5KW-3 - Oasa (Not bad) Tarsis should have been one of them. Seriously.
Frug Zenithal Harvest	Posted - 2007.12.18 21:53:00 - [20] Originally by: Sakura Nihil H3J8-U û Cobalt Edge (Nice) 6HL8-L - Outer Passage (Okay) VU-WU2 û The Spire (Eh) 7-KXBJ - Etherium Reach (Blah) 87-1CW - Kalevala Expanse (Shrugs) LQ-OQN - Malpais (No hablo espanol, senor. Donde esta el bano?) S-I6VU - Perrigen Falls (Eh) G5KW-3 - Oasa (Not bad) Tarsis should have been one of them. Seriously. You gave the exact opposite ratings to the names I would give. Cobalt edge is the best one? Really? Oooh a cool sounding name for a metal. The names are great. Props to the spire and Malpais. - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles
Saba Quiestador AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2007.12.18 22:05:00 - [21] I'm really disappointed that 7-K got renamed after one of the alliances living therein (Ethereal Dawn). Seems a little odd to me, to go naming space permanently after one of the current residents. I like the guys, but it just doesn't seem right, somehow (and yes, I think "Intrepid Reach" would suck just as much, if not more).
N1fty Amarr Galactic Shipyards Inc HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2007.12.18 22:14:00 - [22] Edited by: N1fty on 18/12/2007 22:15:47 All very uninspiring names. Heres my personal rating on the new regions from 1 being rubbish, to 10 amazing. H3J8-U û Cobalt Edge - 2/10 - Cobalt/Cobal, Battlestar Galactica much? 6HL8-L - Outer Passage - 1/10 - Outer Ring? VU-WU2 û The Spire - 1/10 - The Citadel? 7-KXBJ - Etherium Reach - 1/10 - Lifted out of a manga cartoon. 87-1CW - Kalevala Expanse - 2/10 - Finnish poem, to do with eve what? LQ-OQN - Malpais - 2/10 (what about just 'The Badlands'? Or 'Bleak Lands'? Oh wait...) S-I6VU - Perrigen Falls - 2/10 - Made up word and falls is too much like fountain for me. G5KW-3 - Oasa - 4/10 - Someplace in Japan? For me, none of the names fit with the eve-universe. And they all seem to have been plucked randomly out of thin air without any idea of their storyline or place in Eve. Or someone just looked at the current regions and tried to use the exact same name but in a different language or a different word for the same thing. Example: Cache "The history of Cache is shrouded in mystery, even among the highest levels of the four Empires. No record remains of its original explorers, or what they were after. The region stretches out into the eastern darkness like a mangled claw, stringing far-flung stars into a twisted necklace of frozen tears. What did the nameless voyagers hope to find out in the cold tomb of trackless space? And given the abrupt end to which the region comes, did they find it, or did some darker fate befall them?" Outer Passage: "Region" I rest my case, come up with a story behind all the regions THEN name them. -- ISD Valorem: I choose you!
Lazal Nahn Amarr Nebula Rasa Logistics Nebula Rasa	Posted - 2007.12.18 22:27:00 - [23] Erm yeah... Cobalt = chemical element (metal) Galactica planet = Kobol It was only displayed about 5000 times in the show so far.
N1fty Amarr Galactic Shipyards Inc HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2007.12.18 22:32:00 - [24] Originally by: Lazal Nahn Erm yeah... Cobalt = chemical element (metal) Galactica planet = Kobol It was only displayed about 5000 times in the show so far. Fine; I'll go with the "no cobalt moons in that region" statement from above -- ISD Valorem: I choose you!
Karanth Gallente Eve's Brothers of Destiny Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:26:00 - [25] Originally by: Tareath Sounds like a tribute to Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time) Perrin is one of the chars (close to Perrigan) The Spire (Spire of the world I think? Mountain range) Or, I could be off-base here It's "Spine of the World", which separates the Three-fold Lands from the Aiel Wastes. All that's left... There is only one sig hijack that matters, the orginal and only member of the hijack squad. me. -Eris. ps Black russians are better then beer. Well, there's not many of us left! -Rauth
Shardrael Caldari AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:29:00 - [26] hmm well cant say whether they took any player suggestions or not, but I know our recommendations werent taken. maybe ask ethereal dawn if etherium reach is there suggestion? other then that dont know how to check if any got taken
Wacoede Amarr Allied Combat Team Endless Horizon	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:44:00 - [27] The region formally known as VU-WU2 now known as The Spire is def a player contribution as it came from my corp and as we live there we like it so :P if you don't like it stay out of there :P (and yes it was suggested to fit with The Forge and The Citadel) least now the regions have names instead of having to refer to them with letters and nubers _______________________________ Originally by: Avery Fatwallet when someone sez "eve is too tuff" standard reply is "can i have stuff?"
Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:50:00 - [28] I think they over complicated it a bit. What if it were as follows: "Edge" "Passage" "Spire" "Etherium" "Kalevala" "Malpais" "Perrigen" "Oasa" Isn't that a little cleaner? Bellum Eternus [Vid] L E G E N D A R Y [Vid] L E G E N D A R Y I I
Lumy Minmatar Templars of Space Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:51:00 - [29] Originally by: Wacoede The region formally known as VU-WU2 now known as The Spire is def a player contribution as it came from my corp and as we live there we like it so :P As long it's not "The Shire", I don't care.
Brea Lafail	Posted - 2007.12.18 23:54:00 - [30] Originally by: Shardrael hmm well cant say whether they took any player suggestions or not, but I know our recommendations werent taken. maybe ask ethereal dawn if etherium reach is there suggestion? other then that dont know how to check if any got taken I have heard from several people who where supposed to be on the committee that they were never once consulted about the names. Maybe the invitation got lost in the mail.
