Re: How Did You Name Your MUD?
Achaea: Needed a name that placed us near the start of the alphabet since at the time the Big List of MUDs on Mudconnector was a reasonably easy way of gaining players and it was alphabetized. I've always been a big fan of Greek history, so Achaea was a perfect name.
Aetolia: Wanted another Greek name, and since the Aetolian League and Achaean League had warred at one point, we went with Aetolia.
Imperian: Made-up word. Liked the connotations.
Lusternia: Lusternia is a world-universe that the producer had been working on for many years as written fiction. I don't know where the name came from originally actually.
Midkemia Online: Pretty easy decision. Immediately recognizable by fans of Raymond E. Feist's books.
Earth Eternal: It just fit perfectly and the .com domain was available (practically the #1 factor in choosing a name for anything these days unfortunately).
Iron Realms: This took awhile to come up with. Domain availability was key, as was a short name that had a strong fantasy connotation.
