Thread: In 2.0

Seriously? No. The game is two years old already. Get over it already. XIV is not XI, and XI is not XIV. As it is, why would you call Roegadyn "Galka?" Other than hairstyle and filling the "hulking brute" spot, they don't look alike.

in 2.0 skirmish will be known as Valkrum Dunes HD

Don't be silly, people. They're called the same in both games.

It's Hume, Midget, Cat, Elf, and 'Holy Twelve, lay off the cookies already!'

that is all.

All joking aside, and to the OP: no.

When this game originally came out, I was angry about a long list of things, and the names of the races weren't on it. Sure, Roegadyn sounds kinna dumb, but most NPCs in Sandy in XI have keyboard-smash names nobody can pronounce. So whatever.

Despite the fact that the races are practically high-res versions of the XI ones, they are not the same people. They don't live on the same world. Hume =/= Hyur =/= Human from WoW, despite basically looking the same. Likewise, the pointy-eared sort aren't night elves or vulcans or elvaan, but elezen.

I'm glad that Yoshi-P and the devs have spoken about giving races a bit more lore and differentiation. That, imho, is way more important than coming up with a 'pronounceable' name, whatever that means. I'm glad they didn't call them Tarus and Galkas. I don't want them to be Tarus and Galkas -- I want these races to be unique, have unique stories/abilities/quests, etc. I'm for more diversity, not less.

How stupid would it be to call lalas tarus, and then go 'Well, they're tarutaru...except FROM SPACE! and with a vastly different culture/religion/language!'

Lol, yeah I see you're point in literal sense. The humans in Star Wars were still called humans though, HUMANS FROM SPACE! lol so it's been done before. I know they will never really change the names. It's just kind of ironic though that like 95% of the people I talk too call Miqo'te Mithra's. I actually had to look up how to spell Miqo'te when I typed that just now... maybe I'll actually remember it now... doubtful.
