Just stop this nonsense with using real world continents names. It doesn't work, it doesn't fit, it doesn't sounds good.

Please let continents have natural in-game names and not forced real-world names

And your picture is supposed to be entertaining? :roll:

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.

I agree. That's why I thought of it the very first day of the world.

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 name :) For other continent's - there could be much more suitable names. 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.

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.''

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.

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. :)
