Are you sure?
Not sure if on purpose or notâŚ
I only see the words:
eeeeh. No!
Youâre reading a little too much into my post, if you look that closely youâre bound to find something (you might want to spend less time on that)
Yeah it was intended to be a joke, similar to the fallout 4 conspiracy theorys:
I hope no one took my post too seriously
Etheria: Gateway to Adventure
Worlds of Adventure
Masters of Tera
Band of Explorers
I am also a big fan of;
Echo of Creation
Legacy of the Oort
whenever i look at games i tend to prefer things that only have one word, or have a good reason for it for example.
Fallout
Skyrim
Witcher
Borderlands
etc.
and things with good reason for example-
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (it is part of a series of games)
Guild Wars (there is a war between all the factions)
World of Warcraft (a game with a wide variety of playstyles etc)
all of those games have names that work, and are good descriptions.
Sorry to be a bummer but things like-
Masters of Tera- this i can break down the word masters makes me think of my tiem as a kid when i was the âBIG MANâ and named myself things like âMASTER OF WARâ when really i was a joke xD then tera that makes me think of alot of games that have âteraâ in it.
Band of Explorers- not everyone wants to explore it isnt a thing everyone does some people just sit and pounce at people who go by.
My big point is the games title should never have things that link to the people who play it or activitys they do so things like Explorers, Masters, Adventure etc to me canât be a thing instead a good game name has to relate the the main plot and or the world, World of Warcraft (a big world which has a ongoing war between the 2 major alliances), Guild Wars (a war is happening between the guilds that exist)
if there is going to be a name change i think that it could help to make a collective term for all the worlds, what universe is it in etc or a term for all the races together for example (in Elder Scrolls all the humanoids that live in the Akaviri isles are known as âThe Akaviriâ
Also while thinking of it try saying it in a sentence,
A: so what you up to after school?
B: no clue possibly going to no life the pc again?
A: what is it you even play anyway?
B: just things like Shards of Creation, CS:GO etc
see to me and it may just be me but it kinda sounds a little you know⌠bad
I canât imagine a world without Oort,but the only thing that sounds good for this game is
#Shards of Creation
or
#Echo of Creation
I like those two also, though Iâm not exactly married to them. Iâm interested to see what ideas the devs have been discussing among themselves, not to influence our ideas, but to see if maybe we can influence theirs.
The game formerly known as Oort Online
I vote for this idea.
Good points everyone!
My thoughts in general: this thread has been really interesting to read and has been helpful. So thanks for everyoneâs input, we value it as always.
The main snag with names like Echo of Creation is that while they sound super cool, they also suggest or imply a focus on narrative and story that weâre unlikely to have. We do want to have some rich lore based narrative elements and lots of history packed into the game, but thereâs not going to be a story mode or traditional story. When I hear Echoes of Creation I think: âwhat are they? What is echoing? Where are they going? What was created?â etc, my mind goes straight to story. In contrast, I think when people hear [name] weâd love them to think of being in a massive connected online sandbox first.
For what itâs worth, naming is the hardest part of the development process by far! Youâd think it would be technical or design challenges. But working as a team, factoring in everyoneâs opinion (and the hundreds of you on here too!) and finding something everyone loves is really, really hard. Then making sure thatâs something you can own and brand. Super hard!

But I think we did it.
Well? Spit it out! What have yâall come up with?
All eagerness aside, I imagine if they are as confident that they have found their perfect name as Ben seems, then right this moment they are scrambling to get the name branded as their own, and thusly it would be premature to announce before next week.
Still though, @ben, couldnât you just⌠whisper it into my ear / message box?
My guesses (or examples of namestyles Iâd love) are:
-Farway (a minor/wack/lame approach to compete with the name NoMansSky, although meanwhile I think I found out how the devs of NoMansSky came up with this name, and itâs awesome.)
-Elysion (derived of Elysium as being a part of the European anthem. Still I donât know what an âElysiumâ is. Couldnât find it in the periodic table of elements )
-Talis (simple, taken, but sounds cool)
Not intending to jump on the train in the last second before the door closes. Or clip in a fatal bug in the last moment. Those are names that could be used for naming other things in Oort. I always loved the process to name ones char in MMOâs).
The last 3 days have been insanely heavy on me only to squeeze out a few comments here into the forum. I think Iâm gonna take a break with ideas or suggestions and play instead.
Elysium is German (although it comes from the ancient Greek language)
In German it means something like state of perfect happiness / paradise (in the Catholic meaning) it also has the meaning of a save place. Giving someone âasylâ = Giving someone a save place to stay
If I remember correctly the original Greek meaning of Elysium was a place in the underworld in the Greek mythology.
Not done yet.
Itâs a sandbox. We look like cats.
Cat Box.
Whatever.
catbobs, bobcats - headbobs - bedhops
Oort,itâs like a word in my mental word inventory now.But if the other name is good,I guess it will do.
Why did you guys want to change it in the first place?
Because of emojis
Emojis, Prank videos and Windows updates are the cause of everything bad and evil in this universe
Really eager to see if anyone can guess nowâŚ
