For that very reason, I typically avoid anime. Also, we could call it āB>ā

On camera iām totally toeing the company line.
However, off camera itās a lot easier to say. āHey, Emily do you want to play some Oort?ā Than it is to say āHey, Emily do you want to play some Boundless?ā

I tried to get him to do this. I donāt know why anyone is against adding a few extra letters.

Iām not familiar with the idiom. Can you rephrase?

Conform to a rule or set standard
If you talk to friends itās easier to say Oort than Boundless. It rolls easier from the tongue^^
On the other hand if you talk to someone you donāt know or who doesnāt know Oort you say Boundless because thatās the official term and thatās how theyāll find it online.

@Karko Hmm. Standards are usually made into standards because of their familiarity with a large audience. I guess I donāt understand how itās āeasierā to use the old name in a forum setting when so many new players are joining who arenāt familiar with the history of the name change. If Emily is a friend you talk to off of the forums who knows the game as Oort, Iād agree itās easier to use Oort. But I did graduate research into the fields of conceptual pacts and common ground, part of psycholinguistics, and I think itād be easier to use the new name in the forums.
Probably blowing this into a bigger issue than it needs to be, I just think itās nice to respect the effort that went into making the name change happen while also making the forums a more user-friendly place for new players.
Emily is my daughter, so I only say it IRL. Online I call it Boundless. I was more pointing out how uncomfortable it is to say out loud boundless, than to just say Oort.

As long as this means that PvP wonĀ“t be super broken and there will be something else than just a WoW style duel challange IĀ“m super happy.
However, if PvP gets a bit more attention from the devs (dunno, maybe a few PvP wearables, Guild vs Guild battles etc) IĀ“m going to send a cake to Guilford 
But back to topic:
I also think that an ingame voice chat might be necessary for Oort/Boundless because itĀ“s a sandbox game and unlike in other PS MMOs itĀ“s not clear what a group is going to do next (like in, for example, Destiny/Diablo) where you just rush down to the next boss.

I donāt quite agree. When talked to my old college roommates about the game back in Oort days, they were both kind of turned off by the name. Now with the name change theyāve investigated a bit more and @Theballzman has already joined as explorer while Iām giving the other one an instant access key when I upgrade my tier. Boundless is also an English word whereas Oort isnāt (seems to be Dutch?), so it seems weird to me that itās more uncomfortable for you to say Boundless in public than Oort.

@Vastar, according to Benās quote, itās probably going to be broken in some scenarios and efforts arenāt going to be made to balance these scenarios.
I agree on voice chat though. Doesnāt PS4 already allow for voice chat? Just have to find a way to cross-play that with PC in a maybe localized way like SecondLife does.
There no doubt the new name is better for selling the game.
I think it is the length that I find uncomfortable in informal conversation.
Examples, letās play some Wow, EQ, Magic, MC, D3ā¦

bwhahaha, your right
Was mostly joking heehee. Cultural differences in linguistics is not my thing. I know some cultures value speed over accuracy so you do you ;). Itās just interesting to see those cultural speech preferences translate to text in @KuroKumaās case.

Iād say for me itās only because I write the same way I talk^^ and Boundless is kind of long and it actually translates to something. Yes for me thatās something that speaks against speaking it out loud^^ Maybe itās just because I and friends of mine always joke about how silly things sound if you translate them^^ Things like Borderlands, Dead Space, Minecraft etc^^
