Stealth Pyro 3 Posted May 15, 2012 I haven't started playing this mod yet, but I think a cool new name for it would be "Day of the Zed" if it is not a trademark infringement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmler 4 Posted May 15, 2012 And now read aloud "the Zed" part and listen how silly it sounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Pyro 3 Posted May 15, 2012 How does it sound silly? Zed is the "real" English pronunciation for the letter Z. Since I've seen the devs refer to the zombies as "the Zed" in threads such as the FAQ, I figured it went well. It also rhymes with Dead if you didn't see that part :) Lately when I've mentioned this mod to others as "Day-Z" they immediately make fun of it with Jay-Z, Daisy, or Gay-Z, which all sound much more silly. Just a thought... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tajin 17 Posted May 15, 2012 If anything is silly, then it would be to change the name of a project that has already gained so much popularity.I personally rather like the second meaning in that name (intentional or not), seeing as Z is the last letter in the alphabet and therefor similar to "omega", represents the end. Hence DayZ also stants for the end of days ^^A little far fetched, I know...Anyway, no point in changing it. Besides, every name can be made fun of – if you really want to.

Stealth Pyro 3 Posted May 15, 2012 ^ True. Zed rhymes with Dead, and both pretty much mean "The End." Pretty cool. Popular mods have gone through name changes in the past, I don't see why not. The same web domain can be used as "DayZ" can pretty much just be an abbreviation of "Day of the Z" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skurcey 11 Posted May 15, 2012 you cant steal the name invented from the guy who invented the mod, can you?? Do you like also your name in credits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Pyro 3 Posted May 15, 2012 ^ What? Sorry, your post is a little hard to understand.If you mean: I can't steal "Day of the Zed" from the developer of the mod, I don't get what you mean. That's not the name of the mod, so I didn't really steal it to begin with? It's just a suggestion for what, in my opinion, is a better name for the mod.If you mean: Do I WANT my name in the credits of the mod? That would be cool if they were to adopt my name suggestion, but I'm not demanding it. I don't get what you're asking me in either of these questions...

harryzhe 28 Posted May 16, 2012 sorry, who the fuck cares?The mod itself stands on its own merit. You could call it Barbie My Little Pony Zombie Fun Time Simulator and it would still be awesome (albeit infringing on someone elses IP.)"Lemonparty The Game" - I'd still play it if it played like dayZ.
