    Just a bit of silly :biggrin: trivia here about moon names that are used in Entropia. They are all moons around Saturn.

    Atlas : Atlas Haven, etc
    Calypso : Planet Calypso
    Janus : City on Planet Cyrene
    Pandora : Location on Planet Calypso
    Tethys : Part-name of Tethys Creek, Planet Calypso

    They use Greek mythology a lot as well.

    Argo was the ship Jason sailed on, and the Argonauts were the sailors that accompannied him. Minopolis seems to be a composite of Minos, king of chrete, and polis, greek for city. So could be roughly city of Minos.

    There was a good thread on one of the other forums once about mob names and origins. I remember I linked it in my diary once.
