There may be an idea in this regard floating around on the Blue forum. Just sayin'.

Why does it have to be changed? Why not create a new Skyland and call that one India?

And bring back Noptis while you're at it. Please.

Buuut I finally tracked down the deal with Noptis being Echo! Don't make me sad and create that whole confusion with Juliet again.

Actually, Goldenrod makes me think of Pokemon.

Quite frankly, and even if it may seem absolutly inappropriate of me to say that, "Goldenrod" makes me think of a stiff manhood.

So much for evocative imagery, eh?

Skyrates s a fictional world, so lets not start giving real world names. People like the fact this place is totally different, and totally new.

To offer some clarification on the Anthony Daniels comment, Mr. Daniels actually came to the ETC, where we went to grad school and built Skyrates, as adjunct faculty for a couple weeks in the Fall of 2006. He came by the Skyrates room and helps us out a lot with advice about what made sense to him and what didn't as someone who had never seen the app before. We felt that he has been really helpful and decided to name a skyland after him.

Now, that being said, India is a pretty cool name for a Skyland and X-Ray, for instance, is a pretty awful one, but Goldenrod probably won't change, since it was something we did to honor him.

Hell, let's compromise. Make a new one and call it Goldenrod. I want my India back. I fought SuperJujuAwesome tooth and nail for that governorship, all for the glory of squad six (The Fightin' Sixth!). It's back story enough for me. :remygross:


Why not make a new Skyland named "New India"?

I am also not opposed to "New Goldenrod". It seems a healthy compromise.

With all due respect, how hard is it to make a skyland?

I mean, I realize you need to make the picture for map-view and oh-boy-I'm-landing view, but what else goes into making a skyland? Why not the next Reset?

Or, you could do another contest. Whoever can draw the best "New India" gets to see their design used, and gets a forum name. Seems a cheap way to harness the obvious talent and creativity of many players who love this game more than their own mothers.

Just a few suggestions. No disrespect intended.

I'd vote against changing the skyland name. It's been Goldenrod for as long as I've been playing - which is from very near the start of 2.3 onwards. Far as I'm concerned, it's always been Goldenrod.
