Someone on here (Esteel?) said that Nexuiz was a typo from the name Nexiuz, that whoever registered the domain made a typo and then they just went with it.

Is there any possibility of changing the name back to Nexiuz since www.nexiuz.org is available?

Nobody knows how to pronouce Nexuiz.

How to pronounce Nexuiz:

Nex-ee-uh-ss

Yes, but that's silly. It should be pronounced 'nek-syoo-iz. That's how I've pronounced it until I discovered that you guys are all crazy (:

Who cares, either way Nexuiz can be pronounced. :roll:

Shade... *I* know how to pronounce Nexuiz. That is not the point. The point is that the original intended name is NEXIUZ and the current spelling, NEXUIZ, causes confusion. I'm suggesting that it be changed back to that. What are the downsides?

Hehh, it's for historical reasons, about a miss-spelled nickname.
The orifgnal nick was Nexiuz, he he spelled it wrong, and... behold... Nexuiz!

I kinda like Nexuiz. Though when I was new to the game I thought it was Nexiuz.. But after watching some show in Germany where the developers had interview with some game tv show I saw that they too asked how it was pronounced (if I remember correctly). Then when I heard whoever it was, that said "Ne-XU-iz" in German I thought "Aha.. it must be Germanized this name". And whenever I have troubles pronouncing it (which I don't have now) I thought of that show

1 point for Germanized name!

hmmm

nex-sjhu-iss

Well honestly that typo thing is a legend.. noone that might know the truth is still alive.. but we believe those myths are true

I see no reason to change the domain or name now, as everyone has gotten how its written. Its a wellknown name by now.

For the pronunciation just listen to the welcome sound in the menu..

The welcome-sound pronounces it clearly like <neks-ie-uss>.
But noone would pronounce it like this because it is written different. I would pronounce it like tChr <neks-sjhu-iss> or <neks-ui-ss>.

Why the hell should i call a "fruit" <fr-ie-uut>?
