The Challenge of Naming MMO Expansions
Coming up with names for MMO expansions is no easy task. Developers must ensure that the acronym isn’t offensive while also capturing the essence of the expansion. For instance, Final Fantasy 14's Endwalker has humorously led some to refer to the game as 'ew' for years. Names need to be snappy and foreboding, something that looks great on a box and entices players. The challenge lies in the grandiosity of these titles, making them ripe for parody.
