Re: Names of Continents !
Just stop this nonsense with using real world continents names. It doesn't work, it doesn't fit, it doesn't sounds good.

Replacing "east" with "Far East Asia" and "west" with "America" is using one boring as fuck system in place of another. The only difference is - one system is abstract and the other is not and has no place in this world. We need better names, for sure. Let people come up with proposals (or better claim what THEIR land is named, like f.e. it was with Boohta Bay mentioned earlier). It will take time, but it's better.

Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Re: Names of Continents !
I like "Midrabbit" since it's in the middle and the shape looks kinda like a rabbit. I live on that continent, and as an inhabitant reserve the right to call it like that, though it's not me who came up with that namelothar123 wrote:what is natural in-game names for it ?

Re: Names of Continents !
If some Europeans will like to call themselves some strange thing like ''Midrabbit,'' then they surely can do this one! Of course, in American language this is just called Europe. This is consistent with how these things are usually working. For example, in the real live there is country which calls itself ''Polska,'' but in American language we will call this one ''Poland.''ErdTod wrote:I like "Midrabbit" since it's in the middle and the shape looks kinda like a rabbit.

IDK, Southern can be Hedgeland - from Hedgehugs being there, and it also borders with the end of the map. Western can be Dominia for same reason. These are probably very bad names ideas, but they are already better than Africa and America IMO.

By ''American language'' I mean language of American continent in Haven and Hearth, not language of North America, South America, or United States America of real live.borka wrote:FIFYYsh wrote:Of course, in USAmerican english language this is just called Europe.

Re: Continents need names
I'm for calling them by names unrelated to the real world tbh, I don't call them by the names here, I call them, Midrabbit, AD continent, HH's, lol, just saying ... but it would be nice to have more 'havenish' names for them.
