What will we call the Age that was the Age of MO1?

Okay; time to wave to whoever the algorithm flagged this thread for. /wave

So I bet the devs probably already have a name picked out

Given the history of Star Vault's Mortal enterprises and their approach to developer-provided lore? What makes you think so?

I believe the age of mo1 deserves more than chaos as its legacy.

#MeToo
After all, it was when the first of so many things was built-- including things like Black Towers that won't be seen again. Tekton's Bridge was (briefly) rebuilt. Crusades happened. Giant Rabbits ravaged the land, never to be seen again. Pigs flew. Against all tradition, Thursar became pillars of society. It was more than just chaos; it was an age of miracles and wonders.

Maybe we should just name it the "Mortal Online 1 Age"

That's why my first choice would be "The First Age" and my second "When Pigs Flew". Third choice? "Age of Candles", though that will always be obscure to some.

why not "The Age of Hope"?

Because of two things:

a) MO1 soured many people on the concept of Hope. Hope alone is a lousy substitute for the Things Hoped For.​

​

b) Nevertheless, Hope is still Henrik's "ultimate goddess", and hope didn't end with the First Age of Mortal Online.​

The Age of The Dark Side

a) MO1 soured many people on the concept of Hope.​

Seems like we agree while disagreeing in regards to it being the age of hope. For MO2, we hope that the second iteration isn't even more terrible, rather than hoping for an extraordinary experience that builds upon that which came before and (very importantly) from elsewhere.
