Nexuiz - the name

[Dokujisan]

So the only downside is that people are used to the name? Well, I'm not sure that is completely true I think there are a lot of people that play the game and don't know how to pronounce it. If that is the only downside, then I don't think it is a very big concern. People would learn the new name very quickly. The current domain name could redirect.

I know that the game says "Welcome to Nexuiz" at the start of the game, but I typically don't have my headphones on until I'm about to connect to a server, so I rarely hear it.

Whenever I tell someone about Nexuiz, I pronounce it "Nex-ee-uss" and they look at me like... "are you sure that's the way to pronounce it?"

It comes off as just another strange open-source software name...like Joomla, or the Gimp. hehe.

Did I mention that www.nexiuz.org is available?

Well, in the end it's not my decision to make, and I've said my piece on this topic. So be it.

The word is written only and should never be spoken.

I love to say Nexuiz. I say it exactly as it is spelled. How hard is it really? Give it a try and you'll see it's just as easy to say Nexuiz as it is to say Nexiuz. The thing is that people probably "assume" it's spelled and said Nexiuz as that is more common in our brains and nature of speech. But really, I think it's just as easy both of those, no need to change name or anything. I agree with cyan, kinda stupid thread, just say Nexuiz

EDIT: One cookie for the person who counts how many times I used the words "Nexuiz" and "Nexiuz"

Poor me!

@morfar: Heh, you fale I like how it sounds. But I suppose how the opinion is up to the individual. Oh and my post wasn't directed at you, just general thoughts that came into my mind that I wanted to add.

Some like different words than others. I like the word "exactually". Some people don't like it. Besides, it's not even a real word.

I remember a discussion about changing the name of Nexuiz back in the days of the old forum (Rest in peace, old forum) and the collective request got rejected. It would be silly to give in now.

I like the provoking habit of the word "Nexuiz". Nobody knows how to pronounce it. People start thinking about it. It nests inside their brains like a tick. And grows. After a while the pressure is too big to stand and they give in and start playing Nexuiz. Again. And again. And again.

And again!
