A New Name For Pantheon?

Here's a snip it from the March 2017 news letter http://www.pantheonmmo.com/newsletter/2017_march_intro/

Last, but not least, our community spotlight this month is all about Nick. He says he’s thinking of a new name for Pantheon. Maybe we can help him out?

A new name? I don't know what I think about this, is this good or bad?

    Well, it was always a "working name".

    When I write a piece I sometimes give it a name just so I can refer to it. Then, as the work grows towards completion and I've had time to flesh it out, really "live with it", it might make more sense to give it another name.

    Good or bad thing? Neither, it's just how the creative process works.

    They're talking about a character name, not the game's name.

    I guess I said "good or bad" is because I was thinking it might create some confusion for those who are not keeping up with the progress but are sitting back and waiting for a "Pantheon" release. I guess those folks would be few and far between though...

    Below is what he is talking about...


    What is your main character's in-game name and how did you come up with it?

    I haven't decided on a character name for Pantheon. Right now I just go by "Nick" or "NickHotS" in the community. I've used several different 'RP' names in past MMORPGs, but I usually create a new name for each MMO I play. I definitely need to put some thought into at some point! :)

    But I'd still buy and play it if they renamed it "Joe Mama's BBQ Potato Chip Adventures"

    March's Pantheon Newsletter

     

    Posted date / 03.08.17

    The Chewy Goodness Behind PantheonNo, our headline this month is not talking about gnome cookies or a dwarf bake. We’re talking about LORE. In this issue of the Pantheon newsletter Medawky talks with Loremaster Justin Gerhart on the story behind Pantheon, how Justin came aboard the team and the duo discuss some of the reasons behind the decisions in writing the huge story of Terminus.

    We also take a look back at February in March’s ICYMI. The team is continuing to grow right alongside the community and the game itself. And talk about growth! Have you seen the new FAQ? It’s humongous! One could get lost for days in all that juicy Pantheon info.

    Last, but not least, our community spotlight this month is all about Nick aka NickHotS. He says he’s thinking of a new name for Pantheon. Maybe we can help him out?

    Again...They're talking about Nick's future character name and not changing the name of the game.

    As keinersonerster pointed out:

    "1) What is your main character's in-game name and how did you come up with it?

    I haven't decided on a character name for Pantheon. Right now I just go by "Nick" or "NickHotS" in the community. I've used several different 'RP' names in past MMORPGs, but I usually create a new name for each MMO I play. I definitely need to put some thought into at some point! :)"

    I see they've added the NickHotS part on their website, it was not in the Email I received... 

    If a mod sees this thread delete it. Sorry guys, I didn't catch the error...

    huh, I had thought I had read something way back that Pantheon wasn't necessarily the final name of the game. But live and learn.

    They could have worded it more clearly I guess, if I had just read the intro I would also have thought they were looking to change the current game's name =P

    I honestly always thought the name kinda sucked, especially the Rise of the Fallen bit. Long names like that make it feel like any of the random, half assed b2w MMOs that pop up. It needs a short, catchy name. Just Pantheon would be good, but I feel like they could do even better.

    Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.

    After Vanguard: Saga of Heroes I think we are lucky it isn't called Old Skool: We Only Want to Group :)

     <meh, pretty lame, but I can't think of anything catchier :)>

    True, even though it isn't totally impossible that the game will launch with another name then "Pantheon", marketguys have changed the name on a work in progress before after all.

    But who cares? Ill play it in any case, I don't think I ever played a game because of it's name, because it is a sequel for something I liked but never for the name. 

    I have to admit that I like Pantheon though, it is short, elegant and simple.

    They should rename their game Das Tal.
  • ThebeastttThebeasttt Member RarePosts: 1,130
    They can't just name it Pantheon because if you google that you get League of Legends spam.

    How about "Parking Lot Employees Fall of the Risen"

    I always thought "Terminus" would of been a good name.  But, the current name isn't terrible either.

    Nick was referring to his characters name, not Pantheons name ;)

    Wasnt the Pantheon where everyone went to finish their epics in vanguard?

    Could be, pantheon just means a place for many gods. The name is over used in stories as it has deep meaning in RL history.

    I kinda prefer Floyd.  Not enough things named Floyd these days.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    New name huh? How about.... Ever-guard: The Quickening.. Tag line: "and this time, the raid is personal"

    Yes i would approve because i do not feel Pantheon is a catchy name.However looking up the definition ,it seems Pantheon is about the Gods.So if this game has a strong affinity to the gods and not a sort of half assed one like the Everquest series did,then the name is perhaps solid but not recognizable to the average person.

    I have not put any thought into a title myself so i won't try at this point lol.

    I do know that i personally don't like when devs try to use the PAST o sell their new game,example that other game with references towards DCUO.Your not selling that old game,your trying to sell your new game so let's let the new game's merits sell itself.

    I think perhaps the answer lies in what the developer feels is the main selling point of the game.Example Warcraft is not that good a choice because the game is NOT about crafting even though it has crafting.I do not think i have ever seen a thread posted about Wow crafting so just saying.

    Now as much as i despise Chris Robert's ,Star Citizen is an excellent choice for a game name which represents exactly what the game is about.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    "Rise of the Fallen" always sounded like something produced by an "automated MMO-naming" website !

    But maybe it was just because Brad was hoping this game would save his career and reputation, lol
