I need help choosing a name for a viking mmorpg

[ilovemyhedgehog]

Vikingr: Fury of the Northmen
Vikingr: Path to Valhalla
Valhalla: Rise of the Vikings
I cant choose between these. Which is best?
Or can anyone think of another?

 

[Magorian Aximand]

This is probably better suited in the "Other Games" section.

 

[Úlfheðinn]

None of them in my view, they are rather cliche and droll.

A name based on old Norse would be interesting instead. For there are still several fancy words that are as of yet unused.

What do you suggest?
Vikingr is old norse by the way i found it on wikki.

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Indeed it is however...

Fury of the Northmen
Path to Valhalla
Valhalla

Have been used far too much in regards to Vikings. 

Avoiding using Ragnarok in any title would be for the best as well.

The above is a rather nice source of various information on vikings(their culture, language, daily life, etc.) Undoubtedly something can be found there that fits nicely.

An old saga title, a name of an old hero(mythological or historical), mythological or real battles; in the end perhaps something simply reflecting that the Vikings were not only concerned with warfare. :wink

thanks

Ragnar the Red
Milstrillen the Maiden

 

[Taimat396]

'zerker FIGHTO!

 

[rejenorst]

Bjorg the vengeful

Or Bjorg's Vengeance!

Or Bjorg's hedgehog of destruction!

Or Helheim.

Theres some norse mythological names here:

[Adorno]

Is it based on history, a certain year, or just typical Viking stuff?
Are there other cultures, Britons, Normans...?

 

[Verbeek]

Úlfhéðnar.

 

[Catholic]

What's that in your avatar?

 

[Kazzan]

Viking: Battle for Asgard. 

In all seriousness, Fury of the Asar, Holmgang or some other random stuff.

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

It will have the picts for sure maybie the celts too.
Not a fantasy game.

 

[Slawtering]

If its based in the UK you could have some stuff like
"The Pillaging of Jorvik"
"Clash of the Wild Men"
"Raids of the Coast"

 

[del_diablo]

Skirmishes of the North Coast

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

If its based in the UK you could have some stuff like
"The Pillaging of Jorvik"
"Clash of the Wild Men"
"Raids of the Coast"

Im going to probably call it somthing like Vikingr: Battle for Portmahomack
Link to info on Portmahomack
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmahomack
Does anyone see any problems with this if the entire game is not only about taking Portmahomack?
Game will have Picts Vikings and Scotts. Vikings vs. Picts and Scotts.
Any ideas?

Clash of the Wild Men could work as well as Raids of the Coast.

 

[Adorno]

Holmgang (already suggested) is good.

I think Picts and Scots are close to identical - or Scots is an anachronism.

Norse used a lot of kennings, so if you included one in your title that would be a great touch.
