Guess the name of the 2 Steam servers

Recommended Posts

I thought the dev team's initial reasoning behind adding new islands was to attract new players and have the server named "Steam" to help with SEO (Search Engine Optimization.)

 

I don't know what the pvp server will be named. It won't be Wild. We already had a Wild server they re-named Chaos. And they have never reintroduced a formerly used server name.

 

But my vote is that they will call the new pve server "Steam." Is it cool and exciting? No. Is it what I would have named it? No. But if I had a guess based off what I read in Rolf's initial post discussing the new server - it seems that he would name it Steam so that he can try and pull in Steam Players.

They are currently asking for name suggestions so the name wont be 'Steam'. That's a given. What does SEO have to do with server names anyways? You can't search for the game by server name.

Thanks for the info. I thought I read some place, reviewing Rolf's initial talk of new servers. No worries though. I just found the post from Retro.

Rolf likely meant people searching for "Steam Sandbox Open World Crafting Building Farming Multiplayer Games With Cows And Ships ... And Raiding" 

 

People put "STEAM" into their search for game genres now all the time. Server names have nothing to do with it.  If a game is not on Steam, it will never pop up on many people's searches.

That was what I thought I read from his initial posting. Thanks Brash. I'm sorry if I didn't make my original post easier to understand. :)

 

I had a couple names I submitted: Mythic, Sunrise, and maybe a couple others.

That would be a harder way to attract new players because the word "steam" when attributed to games is a competitive phrase on Google. Steam players looking for an MMO would probably search by tag within Steam (which is terribly flawed, sadly).

Google does not look for true statements, it looks for words and phrases. For example, you can search for asherons call steam and get 500,000+ result even though the game was cancelled and was never available on Steam. And now this page will be added to those results the next time the Google Bot crawls this page.

Maybe I missed it, but it is now 11 July GMT.  Have the server names been announced?

Even if these do not win (how could they not??) they will always be the official names in my head cannon (and probably every post I make from today on about them)

If those are actually going to be the final names it works for me. Better than the original names. But could just be a placeholder.
