Welcome to Elgea (New Server)

Hmmm. Methinks SC's explanation doth explain too much...

After some sleuthing, I came up with, what I think, was the origin of the name...

We all know that SC is a history buff. So... "El" was a very old Canaanite word for a god, commonly represented by bulls. Now what are bulls well known for?

and Gea... well it took me a while, but I think I pegged it!

Perhaps Mr. SC was feeling proverbially "bullish" about Gea (I mean, cmon, she won America's first ever Ms. National Fitness Championship in 1986!):

(or maybe I'm wrong... has been known to happen on rare occasions...) ;)

*burp*

I enjoy ingesting brandnewness in all its various guises.

uhmm....I have an idea....

Why not have GMLuna pose another exciting community initiative by opening a thread calling on the community to suggest a suitable name for the server taking into account ;

1. meaning of the name;
2. It relevance to The Illyriad Codex

The GM's can decide on and announce the winner and then present a prize

Since it is early days and this is a major development in the course of the game I was just suggesting that it might be an idea to throw it out to the community as a demonstration of inclusion. The dev team are always on the look out for the innovative involvement of players in all aspects of development. I thought that this might be an ideal opportunity to bring us all closer together for the greater good.

( supposing someone came up with the suggestion of Kumotonia - I bet that would make you change your mind )

Renaming Elgea is probably not something that will happen right now. But having players involved in naming something in the future could be a lot of fun. Great idea!
