Hi everybody,
 
As you probably know, we’ve recently announced that Megaservers are coming to WildStar in the very near future.  While we are getting ready for the transition (we are close to announcing a date), we need you – yes, YOU! Help us to decide what your future homestead will be called.
 
Above this text, you can find a selection of 5 names for each server type (PvE and PvP) carefully selected by the innocent hands of your Community Team. Simply vote for your favourite name for both the PvP and PvE Realms.  But choose wisely, as your wish may come true! The names with the highest number of votes will be assigned to the new European Megaservers.
 
You have from now until Wednesday, September 24th Monday, September 29th 09:30 am PDT (16:30 UTC) to vote. After that it will be too late, so be a good citizen of Nexus and vote!
 
Let us know if you have questions and feel free to campaign for your favourite name in this thread!
 
NOTE: You must vote on both polls in order to have your vote count. You will get an error if you do not vote on both posts.
 
Edit on 09/24: The deadline has been pushed to Monday 29th.

I don't have permission to vote in this poll somehow. Does anyone have the same problem?
 
(I am subscribed to the game right now, so that can't be the reason for this...)

I think there's a Chua hidden in this poll. We're investigating!

	SORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE PERMISSION FOR THAT!

You should now be able to vote. Please note, that it requires you to vote in both polls.
 
Thank you for your patience!

Give it a second, some furballs are hard to get rid of (it's a caching issue) :)
----
			Go jabbit!!	
----
			Jabbit! It'll be our own little hole.	
----
			I want to see Drusera Name on the list. Until that time come best option is Gnox	
----
			noc permission :(	
----
			I kill Jabbits for fun, Dominus for me :P	
----
			I'm on the PvP side and even I wish that we would be called Jabbit. Can't we just have two Jabbits? :D	
----
			
No permission to vote  :o !
 
EDIT : got it to work, have to vote on both or it won't take it...	
----
			
PvP : Zax
PvE : Gnox
 
 :P	
----
			Voted Zax. I like the idea of a short name for a PVP server.	
----
			Voted on both , still no permission.  hehe these gremlins, i mean chua.	
----
			
I've got the "no permission to vote" error as well.
 
 
EDIT: it stopped bugging out, and I managed to cast my vote. Hurray!

			It finally worked! Zax/Gnox voted :)

I have one important question:
Why you still haven't implemented in-game polls?
 
And what's with this "Dominus" name? All dominion will vote for it :mellow:.

Well.. I kind of was hoping that 'Luminai' could have been an option for the PvE-EU servers. It is an excellent name for a server.. hands down the best actually from all choices.
 
'Jabbit' also seems to be brilliant for a PvP server.. I don't know, I am confused with my choices as I would like them reversed. :P :P :P	
----
			Matria/Serrick.I'm so evil I can't stand a server name like "Luminai". Sounds soooo Aurin.And Matria sounds lovely for a PvE server. After all, PvE boys are good guys. They kill monsters. Hehe.	
----
			Really really wanted Zax as the new PvP server :P 	
----
			
EU PvE: Jabbit (!!!)
 
EU PvP: Luminai	
----
			
pfff ...still "	Sorry, you don't have permission for that!" ..	
----
			Aye, can't vote either.	
----
			
Voted Zax for Pvp server.
 
(I used resend fonction for being able to vote)	
----
			Resend didn't work. Relogging did finally.	
----
			You do not have permission to vote in this poll.	
----
			Very disappointed at the names for the PvE server. But putting Jabbit in there and it winning, well, that just takes the cake (aka, it's a bad idea)	
----
			Cant vote,	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Cant vote,
----
			Can't vote, probably because I'm chua In Wildstar Life...	
----
			Can't vote. :(	
----
			For anyone who can't vote, you have to vote for BOTH servers! So you HAVE to vote for both the PvE server AND PvP server (which is also silly. Guess that's why Jabbit is so popular)	
----
			
Luminai, really?
 	
----
			Hard to believe Dominus has gained that many votes already. The best server name is faction-neutral. Anything is better than Dominus, with Jabbit being the best option. Obviously.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
If you let the page 'resend' it seems to be adding the votes.
----
			Why Jabbit oh whyy, when all other servers have powerful lore names.... just ain't fair.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
PvP : Zax
PvE : Gnox
 
 :P
----
			
Also doch ein Server für ganz Europa obwohl ich meine Landessprache als Spielsprache gewählt habe.
 
Ziemlich armselig!	
----
			
I can't vote, don't have permission to do so  :wacko:
I'm voting on both of them, so that can't be the problem..
 
Edit: My vote worked now, gogo  :D	
----
			Can't vote, don't have permission. Why?	
----
			
Doh! PvE options are horrible. Voted for Jabbit to get smth neutral.
 
Wantz to haz Luminai name for PvE. shtupid PvP o.o' :P	
----
			
All of these are horrible. Why don't just name them Ascendancy and Hazzak for two most popular servers? I really DON'T want to play on something named JABBIT =_=
And btw cannot even vote. Don't have a permission.	
----
			
Seriously WHY ON EARTH ppl are choosing "LUMINAI???"
 
wtf.............
 
go Zax go!	
----

----
			
Voting bugged for me. Tried voting for both, no dice.
 
Jabbit for faction neutral PvE name.
 
Dominus Dominion side sounds really stupid.	
----
			
What i did to fix the unable to vote bug was press back, vote again, fail, press back, vote again, fail, repeat until it works... Only took 5-6 tries.
 
Now as a thank you for this tip, vote Zax and Bronos bros! kthx!	
----
			
I vote for
PvE: Stormtalon
PvP: Dominus

			Chua vote for calling EU Server PvE : Chua

			Chua could not vote either first, but after trying 5 times, then force refresh furryfox, suddenly worked.

Hi folks,
 
I'm sorry to hear that some people are still experiencing the vote issue (with being unable to) no idea what may be causing it at this time so my suggestion is to keep trying as others have mentioned in the thread - I know, frustrating, but it seems to eventually go through at least. 
 
- Team WildStar 	
----
			Whatever I try, I cannot vote... Another fail of Carbine here (I'll keep my sub tho ^^)	
----
			Chua can feel love in this topic.	
----
			I vote the Same, Gnox-Zax, small names are always better..	
----
			
SImple - Vote and on the page it says you have failed, click refresh and click yes to resending data. 
 
Then if you see " Delete my vote" as the option and blue stars next to your choices, you know it's worked. 
 
PVE - Matria
PVP - Zax 
 
NOt sure why people are voting luminai!!! that's not pvpish!

I got the "No permission to vote" message too, but I tried two more times and it worked.
 
Dominus and Tristan	
----
			
Jabbit. Really. You must be kidding me.
There's nothing heroic and epic about jabbits.
I'm Exile and still went for Dominus.	
----
			
I will be very, very disappointed if people go through with "Jabbit" as name. It will only be amusing for 2 weeks and then it grows old. 
Dominus is such a great name to let go for a server name whether you're exile or dominion. 
 
Edit: I guess the PvP people vote mostly for Jabbit for PvE and likewise PvE vote for Luminai for PvP? 
Luminai seems very fitting for a PvE server, not so much for PvP which is why I voted Zax. Also Zax is pretty sick	
----
			I'm a PVE'er ... look at my post history. I want Jabbit,thanks. To each their own.  Although I personally agree with Luminai being a better pve name and I would have voted that if it were an option.  Dominus sounds more suited towards PVP anyway.	
----
			Bronos for bros!	
----
			Y u no Bronos bros?	
----
			As an Exile I really don't want the server to be named after some Dominion scum. Give me Jabbit anytime over that, especially since it doesn't lean toward Exiles, either. It's all nice and neutral, not to mention WildStar-y.	
----
			Interesting, I was able to vote on NA side last night (I play there anyway) and just now, I was able to vote on EU.	
----
			It is possible to vote for both yes. Forums can only check if your WildStar account is active, that's about it. There is no regional check for any of the polls.	
----
			
As a pve player I choose Jabbit. I'm an exile and I didn't want a name which referenced either side.
 
Also I like Jabbits, so I really am hoping that's what wins for PvE.
 
As for PvP...well I felt bad voting at all as I wont be on a pvp server, ever, but it forces me to vote, so I went for the one which sounded best, which was Luminai to me. Sorry pvp peeps.
 
ALSO the NA names are way better, Darkwitch and Entity for PvE; Deadeye and Warhound for PvP. Seriously?!	
----
			
Voted for Matria & Zax.
PvP-Names are not smooth.
But Zax seemed to be the coolest of them.
 
Matria is very nice, but I prefer PvP.
 
Wasn´t it announced that PvE+PvP became one Megaserver?
 
Greets	
----
			Do you really want some "boffoon in tight pants" to be PvP server name? How about showing some love/respect to the great scientist for his efforts in supplying the galaxy with loads of best quallity lumber from Arboria?	
----
			Disney server for PvE cause they dont fight...And HBO for the PvP server, cause HBO! XD	
----
			
Seriously? Jabbit? I really don't want to play on a server named Jabbit. I'd rather have a bland 'EU-PVE realm' as realm name -,-" The joke will wear of far too easily and people will regret their 'omg Jabbit iz zo funneh!' sooner rather than later.
 
What's with the terrible options in names? Put one of the less popular ones of NA in the EU list.	
----
			Hodor	
----
			Dominus and Luminai. All the way.If you voted Jabbit you have an objectively bad taste.

Well I admit defeat. Apparently people really like Jabbit as a name. Just thinking of the name Jabbit annoys me and I don't even know why. 
The word has no flow unlike rabbit, it's weird to explain. Good luck with Luminai my good PvP friends, it's a good name imo.

			Chua happy not only one who like "jabbit" as server name :D

Greetings everyone,
 
Following the technical difficulties we did encounter with the poll on Monday we decided to extend the deadline until Monday, September 29th. 9.30am PDT / 16.30 UTC :)	
----
			
I'm just disappointed that three out of five of the PvE server names are terrible - means we're going to end up with a joke of a server name, due to players who cant bear to see it faction specific.
 
/sigh
 
Can't decide whether to blame Carbine for the crappy name choices, or the people voting for Jabbit...	
----
			WOOOOOOOWWWWW WE CAN VOTE FOR OUR EU MEGASERVERS NAMES.... so useless...	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
[...] so useless...
----
			
lol but who cares about a servers names... I won't stop playing because of servers names.. some people does?
But I can stop playing if the bugs aren't fixed... Anyway it's not the goal of this topic.
Sorry for disturbing!	
----
			I do not know if people think like that... but at least there is a number of people that will complain... and then this vote comes in handy. This will enable Mods to close threads about this very fast.	
----
			.....Luminai....  :o  .. i don't even... :(	
----
			
I voted for Jabbit and im quite happy with it, as I really don't want a faction specific name, although to be honest I think the server names should have been neutral place names in game.
 
Like Olyssia, Alizar & Isigrol.
 
All of those make sense in game, aren't cutesy and mostly neutral. (im aware that olyssia and alizar are the opposite starting zones for both factions but people can explore both regardless.)

Alfaomega cud be Great

Well I finally managed to vote, who do I speak to about bonus XP for the time I've spent trying to take part here? :)
 
So what happened Carbine, did you let your kids come up with a bunch of names for the servers and just go with them, or were they chosen after a particularly drink-fuelled office party?  :D
Seriously? You couldn't come up with anything better than those?

Greetings,
 
Please allow me to clarify how names were chosen for the poll. Before WildStar got launched, when names of Live Realms were supposed to be decided, the Lore team provided us with a list of 100 pre-approved names that could be used as Realm names. We used so far ~35 names on that list (Launch + Beta), so we had to pick 20 names out of what was remaining for the new megaservers.
 
That part was handled by the Community Team, we had the following criteria to follow:
The name could only be from that pre-approved list
The name shouldn't have been used in the past (including during Beta)
The name shouldn't be really close to something that we used in the past to avoid confusion (i.e. Cassius and Cassus)
For Europe Only: The name must be acceptable in all three supported languages (English / German and French). If a name is localized in any of these languages, it shouldn't be used for Europeans Megaservers.
From there, our choice to make this list was obviously purely subjective. For a matter such as names, there is no way to make completely objective choices. We picked the EU names firsts as we needed to fulfil the last of our criteria.
 
We understand that these names might not please everyone, some players would rather pick one name from the NA list. While some would like a PvP name on the PvE list and some are requesting names that aren't listed at all. There is just no way to satisfy everyone unfortunately :(
 
Anticipating questions:
Can we have that full list?
That isn't something we will communicate, it will only generate more debate around names, why name X wasn't picked instead of name Y which wouldn't really go anywhere.
Why EU names have to work in all languages while some current German or French servers are using "English" names (i.e. Treespeaker)
When Realms names had to be picked up initially during the launch phase, there were some hiccups internally which prevented us to pick "acceptable" names in German and French in due time. That was not supposed to happen however. Since we have a chance to name megaservers now, we took that opportunity to fix that issue.
 
Thanks again for your understanding and continued support.

Why, then, was Pergo allowed to be reused in launch following its use in beta?  With it being the only NA PvP server in beta, it became "the" NA PvP server for launch.  And why was the alternative named Pago?  This contributed to the population problems that necessitated opening new servers, and later merging them.
----
			
You have to consider players from both factions and choose neutral names for megaservers said players will play on. Only one neutral option is provided and it is only for pve server. Everything else is faction-connected of some sorts.
This poll is incorrect. I'm not voting.
 
Not that I care that much, we all know that there's only one valid eu pvp megaserver name at this moment and it's Hazak.	
----
			
I understand the reasoning behind picking names that haven't been previously used, but the quality of names that were given to NA and EU for server selection pales in comparison to the names that have already been used. They're, essentially, left-over names that have no relation to one another.
 
So, these 4 names:
 
Jabbit (critter)
Luminai (NPC race)
Warhound (mob)
Entity (BBEG)
 
are going to represent Wildstar from here on out?
 
If you're going to go for 4 related names for realms to represent WildStar going forward (and you don't want to use NA-PVP, NA-PVE, EU-PVP, NA-PVE), these make way more sense than anything else:
 
 
Why should it matter if a name was used in beta if it's a better name that better represents the game going forward?
 
I know the continent names were "retired" so there wouldn't be confusion about the realm name and continent name, but honestly, if you get a report that "Olyssia is down," there isn't going to be any confusion as to whether that report is referring to a megaserver being down or not.

Citizens of Nexus, we have two winners! 
 
The EU Megaserver will be called "Jabbit" (for PvE) and "Luminai" (for PvP). Thank you all for your votes!
 
Feel free to discuss the decission in this thread.
