  1. Since PCF shuts down any thread talking about in game names on things using real life names, http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/f...Isis-Weapons&p=3435892&viewfull=1#post3435892 ,

    maybe time to do a thread here about how Mindark uses real world names on in game junk and has for years to up search engine optimization results...???...

    Latest: Presidential Election year coming up in USA, so Mindark has VR Presidential race...

    A few from the past:

    Marco Rubio election — Weapon: Sollomate Rubio (L)

    Tiger Woods Scandal — Golf Course introduced in Game

    Volcano explodes in to world news in real life — Volcano added in game

    As far as ISIS weapons go, I can't remember when they first came out in game, but I'm pretty sure that that was before ISIS was all over the national/worldwide news as a terrorist organization... or was it?

    RAZER Custom title ... uh ...

    yes I think ISIS guns were way before ISIS became a thing in the news. BUT I might have changed the name of the guns if I were them. (or possibly the terrorists should change it to not have any affiliation with MindArk :) )

    Actually they have, it is now only "IS" and no longer "ISIS" nor "ISIL" as Western inertia continues to have it, since their claim does no longer extend just to Iraq and Syria or the Levant. Don't have to expound on this here I hope.

    The current Prime Minister of Sweden has been honoured with becoming the namesake for Next Island's tamable creature, the Lofven Papoo.
     
  4. Nice summary indeed. MindArk uses lots of names from old (greek) mythology, since day 1.
    "Isis" inside Entropia is/was meant to be the egypt goddes. (I hope x'D)

    As ISIS (AQI) was born around 2004 and renamed to ISIS in 2006, it was there since the early days of Entropia as well.

    Fort Isis, for example, got introduced in 2012 and got removed from Entropia in late 2016.
    The "Isis LC" weapons got introduced around that time as well, maybe a bit earlier.
