People talked about quitting the moment they read about Selenia dying...

Honestly that hive mind vibe and cult-like adherence to a single player sealed the deal for me. I don't even have the ambition I used to, but I've seem ruler-centered groups fail too often to want to ever be a part of that again.

True. I am not a big fan of a character centric or realm centric players. They will quit easily. Not really in for the long term.

Indeed, you think you are building something as a team, and then they quit on you as soon as one guy's gone...

Hi.... I noticed you all took jabs at me while I wasn't looking. Thats the kind of behavior that makes people quit not remaining loyal to their queen. But hey I get it. you dont like what you cant control. you don't like Character Centric environments that would suck if the character centric environment isn't surrounding you... and FYI I didn't quit. I just Left GX..... save your insults and words for someone who WILL care because I don't. Have a good night.... ;D

Talk about being an !@#$%^&. How about you actually figure out what's actually going on before you go on about !@#$. You seem to speak without thinking a lot.

Should probably get back on topic here. Is there any timeline for these to be implemented?

I don't think it takes much effort.

Just need to decide which names we'll be using (if any) and how many we will use (to balance things out with male names).

I don't think so. Let's see. These are the numbers you supplied:
Dwarvish60
Elvish60
Roman61
Norse60
Anglo Saxons60
Russian96
Irish43
Spanish122

I think there are currently around 300 male names in the system. So by scanning quickly I'd go for Spanish, Russian and Roman. Because I like them best & fitting with current names. It brings total on 279 female names.

If Delvin agrees, I can give him a list in the desired format he can use to upload.

I've added these (the Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Spanish ones), and am working on some tweaks to make sure that female captains have properly gendered pronouns.

Any chance of getting non-Germanic male names as well?
By the way, would love to see you coordinate three realms without having an OOC teamspeak with everyone on it.

Matter of fact some non-eurocentric names across the board would be great
