Question 22

July, 2021 - [No Link]

Q: There have been some name changes in early AC. The game itself was once called Empyrean. The Gharu’ndim were originally called the Garondish. And it's been said that Asheron was originally named Aiden, and Ilservian Palacost was originally named Yservius Pentecost. Are there any other original names that didn’t make it to retail?

A: All the names went through Microsoft to ensure they weren't copyrighted or in use by another company. Empyrean was Asheron's race, but some other game was using the word Empyrean, so Microsoft wasn't comfortable using that. Similarly, there was another game that featured a character named Aiden, and so we changed that as well. I think you hit all the big changes tho.
