[edit] Article Title

Recommend that we Change this article title to Utopia MMOG. Thoughts? --Terry 20:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• I think I like it better as this current title. We could create a direct from that page to here.--ZeWrestler ^Talk 20:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Well MMOG implies online and game, so the current title does not get lost completely with Utopia (MMOG) --Terry 19:07, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• You should really avoid using acronyms that laymen and non jargon savvy parents would never understand? Calling it a MMOG is a really bad idea since most people won't even know what that is. The terms in utopia are already cryptic enough to make the article very confusing. I would call it "Utopia Online Game" or "Swirve.com Utopia Web Game" or something easy to understand like that.

I play the game, the current title seems just right. I also asked other players to view the wikipedia page dedicated to the game and so far, it only generated positive responses. Modelwatcher 16:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patel or Corporate name?

I know Mehul Patel (MP) is the key programmer/owner but should we not really use Solaria, Echelon, or Swirve.com where appropriate instead of MP. Though a key figure, he is part of a company. --Terry 19:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Swirve should be used when refering to the company that owns Utopia - however, Mehul does programming, and all of the updates, changes, etc. announcements. Therefore, Mehul is the appropriate name to use much of the time. --Tim4christ17 14:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alliance spam

Please leave alliance spam out of the article. If you want to create a section on alliances (and include details about a few notable ones), that's fine. Merely spamming with a link or a "*** rocks!" on the other hand is not. Thank you. --Tim4christ17 18:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd actually love to see a section on alliances, so if you can write it, please do.

[edit] Question

When does the Age of Dragons end? Feb 07?

- No one knows at this moment. It will most probably end some time in February, but the exact date is not set until a week or so remains. The timing of the Age change is decided entirely by Mehul Patel. 0Stubb0 20:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
