The Fringes doesn't sound right, my two cents on what it should be called

[Barthus]

Hello,

So the title is pretty much straightforward I'd suggest the fringes to be renamed the Abanian Borderlands, because it makes much more sense than "The Fringes" the fringes is literally the borderlands, it borders the shroud, and several other locations; the peaks, Rhalgr's reach, but those latter two are of course part of the same nation.

Plus it already does in the german client, being called the abanische grenzland, or loosely translated the abanian borderlands, furthermore the peaks could be called the abanian peaks, the lochs called be called the abanian lochs, etc.

The fringes especially just seems way off, but that's my two cents! I'd like to hear your opinions though.

Regards,
Barthus Argonar

Fringe = Border.

Yes, that's correct Fringe = Border, but it's a more difficult word when a more common word could be placed in its stead, besides Borderlands also sounds more awesome. Not a difficult word to write, but the definition seems unclear to a lot of people.

The localization team made it pretty clear that they enjoy difficult words. It fits with the linguistic style of the game.

Thanks, didn't know that! but they'll always be the Abanian Borderlands to me, except of course when I post A/S ranks in hunt linkshells xD

How bout we just call it "That depressing looking place over there."? Sounds about right to what you see on that map.

Rename Fringes to Raubahn/Pippin Extreme?

Many people were on the fringe of ragequitting last week when early access started there, so I believe the name is appropriately justified.

Thats why its called the Dravanian Forelands and Hinterlands, over the lowlands and highlands
