Notorious or Noctorius
 
What do you think would be a better name for a playerworld with a modern theme?

(No, it's not going to be an replica of Era)

cbk1994 05-27-2009 12:43 AM

Well, neither are words, but "Noctorious" is a lot closer to actually being one.

Stryke 05-27-2009 12:52 AM

Notorious IS a word? :confused:

yes.

Rufus 05-27-2009 01:01 AM

I don't feel that either of them are really suitable for a server name. Then again, we do have server names such as "Unholy Nation" and "N-Pulse" which never really meant anything.

Darlene159 05-27-2009 01:22 AM

Notorius

cbk1994 05-27-2009 01:54 AM

No, neither are words. Do a Google search if you don't believe me. Notorious is a word.

"Notorious or Noctorius"

:confused: :confused: :confused:

cbk1994 05-27-2009 02:20 AM

Liars, he must have changed it ;)

kia345 05-27-2009 02:35 AM

Noctorius was already a lame modern server if I'm not mistaken

papajchris 05-27-2009 02:52 AM

Notorious would represent a modern server because it would remind everyone of the gangsta life of The Notorious B.I.G.

Noctorious would look like some ***** put a typo as a servers name

Pelikano 05-27-2009 11:36 AM

both sucks

call it:

Erathat'llneverbereleased

Because that's what it's going to be.

DuBsTeRmAn 05-27-2009 02:23 PM

Notorious or Noctorius..?
The server is called Noctorious Stryke :asleep::confused:

Skyld 05-27-2009 03:54 PM

I can't say either of the names really catch my attention at all, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd say Notorious.

Elk 05-27-2009 04:41 PM

Man, now you gotta use an unoriginal name aswell...

The Notorious B.I.G

Notorious is actually an adjective... z_Z

That's not unorgininal in any way.


Also I think it's better to use unoriginal names in some cases, since people will never join your server if it's called:

"Wagabuhundula"

I have to agree. Pure originality is not always a good thing. However, pure unoriginality is also not a good thing. I think a playerworld's name should subtly express what it is about. How does Notorious or Noctorious do this?

NOTE: I do know that most servers do not do this, but it's worth trying to encourage those who don't have their name set in stone.

I think thats called reversed psychology :P so the name and the server have absolutely nothing to do with each other, that way you remember them more easily, its pretty unlogical but logical at the same time!

I could say something pretty arrogant right now...
If I called my server Whahghaghagah, people would play it.
You'll figure why...

A name makes only a small percentage of the server, it is supposed to represent though, but it isn't the server itself.

There's a saying that fits to this I think

Never judge a book by its cover

Pelikano 05-27-2009 08:34 PM

Do you guys know what Notorious mean? :S

I'm not saying judge a book by it's cover. I never said a name MAKES a server. Also, you're views on how a server name is remembered is rather, well, flawed, though holds some grains of truth.

Let's take some examples of names of some pretty successful games/game-series:
  • DOOM - One word, very easy to pronounce. So simple, it just sticks. Even so, it fits the atmosphere of the game. I remember when I was a child and I played DOOM, there was always a sense of incoming doom, around every corner, through every door.
  • Final Fantasy - Use of alliteration, so it makes it stand out and stick. Also, isn't Final Fantasy a, hrm, fantasy themed game?

Either way, if the server was perfect in every way, we'd remember the name anyway. However, wouldn't it just be the icing on the cake to have a really cool name as well?

Elk 05-27-2009 09:15 PM

that's what I meant with small percentage of the server itself, the icing on the cake, but I agree with you :P

DuBsTeRmAn 05-27-2009 09:35 PM

I think we should call it cookies cuz i love cookies

Deas_Voice 05-28-2009 08:38 PM

Noctorius of course, silly.

it's the current name, it should stay that way, unless you want to re-name all levels that starts with noc_* or all the scripts?

This can be done in about five seconds using either the command prompt or GS2.

AND I'M GOING TO ANYWAY LAWL :rolleyes:

Pelikano 05-29-2009 06:04 PM

Uh no.

No one would ever play your server if you were the Manager.
Because everyone knows that you'll abandon it after a week.

You're good at graphics, how would you script? LAT? Do you really think you'd get Staff after that **** with Crystia? And all the other Servers you abandoned?

Haha, you made my day.

If you have anything against Crystia, I would like to hear about it, as I abandoned it as much as Elk did with it =/

I don't get it. Servers are hard to build without quality manpower and support from the community, yet you (guys) complain at us for not having enough freetime and time to work on it, or that we simply get tired of doing everything alone.

And to point at your ignorance, Crystia lasted way longer then a week. I would support Elk if he made a server. I had to stop working for a while on Crystia because of school, and that was my main reason. Other reasons, as mentioned earlier, was lack of manpower and support.

Are you ****ing serious? x_x

Pelikano 05-30-2009 10:41 AM

I was not trying to insult Crystia.
But Elk had big words spreading everywhere: "Crystia gonna be this, gonna be that..."
