Look like we are leaning towards RP-PVP server, so I suggest something with schwung and roleplay ish and avoiding the clichès at the same time. Ie, avoid "Dragon" , "The", "Knights", <single word supercool guildnames> ie. "Immortals", "Hate", "Flame", "Toiletbrush" ...

I am very bad with names, so I'll let you guys handle this :)

We haven't decided on the server yet, but...

If we end up on a PvE server, a plain name like "Freddys House Team" or similar could be good. So as to avoid bickering and discussion.

If RP-PvP (where RP factor in naming must be taken) I suggest using first letters (i.e. "F" and "H") and incorporating them into a fantasy fitting name.
Well? "Forgotten Heralds" or something?

Just a suggestion as ECA requested. Feel free to comment/flame/sent hateposts or even agree ;)

On a side note: similar thread should be started on guild structure: officers, leader(s) etc.

If we want to be an RP guild, we might want to come up with a backstory for the guild before coming up with its name.

Would we be a band of mercenaries? Some kind of royal guard? Bandits? Pirates? A cabal of sorcerers with bodyguards?

That's a pretty neat idea actually. I'll have to make a write up about all of this! Guild structure, leadership, backstory.

Let the RPers do the backstory and stuff, but structure/leadership is fairly important - the guild has to stick together till endgame and then its really dependant on the endgame itself as to what structure would suit the guild.

Any volunteers for website+hosting btw? :p I got a spare vent server going.

Fancy Herpes?

Whoops.


While Freddyshouse would give us an identity that can be immediately associated with this marvelous green website it isn't that immersive a name for a game world like Conan.

Using the F & H strikes me as a good idea, and we could always have a marvelous green banner or such like.

With the formation of a back story, while I've read the Conan novels I don't know how much that lore applies to the game. Probably quite a lot though.

Flatulent Hasbeens? for my choice.

Servants of the Deebs!

No? :(

I like Freddyshouse, but yes, would be rather difficult to fit into a backstory.

But Servants of Deebs, now there's a god we could all follow! :D

Well in my extensive research I came accross the name Frederick being derived from a germanic name meaning peacefull ruler so Freddyshouse could be literally 'House of Peace' which strikes me as rather ironic for a bunch of evil PvPers :p

Plus of course the best way to achieve peace is to wipe out all your enemies.

I think this was best put in "Epitoma Rei Militaris," by Vegetius.

"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."

If you want peace, prepare for War!

"'House of Peace"


I like it to be honest, anyone else agree? would be quite an ironic name given the amount of whiners on here aswell.. so would be comedic in an evil way :p

Right, have my big fake leather covered book from REH out from the bookcase.

If we do go down the 'F' 'H' route there is one country definately on the map but not in the game: "Hyrkania"

We could portray ourselves as mercenaries from said place, although I might need to check on how it's portrayed in the book (only 1000 pages to read again).

As such we could label ourselves: "Fiends of Hyrkania" or something perhaps similar.

Or Foes of Hyrkania :flame:

Anyhoo, i think the "Peoples' Front of [enter fitting place here]" would work :D

then we could really give it to those "[enter same place here too] Peoples' Front"

what about "Freedom of Hyboria?"

Dragoons of Hyboria ( DOH ) ?

lol

Given that the era/world is "Hyboria" I think that fits with the H although I dont think going anal about a F&H name is necessary.

No! Proposterous! Pfft.

On a sidenote, i think i'll call myself Cluteus. Yes, Cluteus Maximus :D

You could partner with my magess Incontinentia Buttocks....

Hahaha :D

I think we are getting closer when peeking abit on the lore. Or we may call us "Fires of Hyboria" , our agenda being to lay waste on the whole continent.

If we pick the F and H combination, I don't think we can avoid the 'of' though :/

Fierce Hybornians is without an "of".

Foolish Hybornians is too :flame:

Flaming Hybornians would be nice, but a bit, you know..."Oooh well won't you look at that blade, it's FAB!"

The benefits of the PVE server is that we do not need to play the nerdy looking for a suitable name with FH initials..... just Freddys House and its done :p

<vader's voice> Come to 'ze dark side of the PvE server....... :flame::flame::flame:

Thought we'd organize the names abit better for reference.

Some points to think about:
If we want to be an RP guild, we might want to come up with a backstory for the guild before coming up with its name.

Would we be a band of mercenaries? Some kind of royal guard? Bandits? Pirates? A cabal of sorcerers with bodyguards?

Flatulent Hasbeens? for my choice.

Idea pump (to pump up the right part of your brain):

Flatulent Hasbeens
House of Peace
Fiends of Hyrkania
Foes of Hyrkania
Freedom of Hyboria
Dragoons of Hyboria
Fires of Hyboria
Fierce Hybornians
Foolish Hybornians
Flaming Hybornians

Friendly Hyborians (carebear guild? )

Furious Haven (a place where all the barbarians can rest their weary legs)
Furious Havoc (a mean and brutal guild)
Fractious Harlequins (meaning irritable buffoons)
