"When is that Panty game coming out?"

    Is what my wife said the other day lol.

    It made me think, though - We need to organise, promote and suitable short name.

    World of Warcraft had the awesome WoW acronym.  Lord of the Rings Online, LoTRo was a little unwieldy, but worked.

    Panthon, Rise of The Fallen is a little tricky.  PRoTF is not great. Prot-Fuh is not so great.  Pro-Tuff sounds ok, but people won't read it that way.

    PRoF like short for professor is good, but then you're ignoring the T.

    Pantheon is good and usable, I suppose.  Better than "that Panty game", though that has a certain 'appeal' hehe.

    I've been affectionately calling it "Pants", which I believe has a fun self-derprocating quality, but is catchy.

    I suppose all-in-all, Pantheon or PRoF is best...

    What do you think?

    EDIT: Dangit how do you edit the post title? It should be "that" not "thay"

    I would just use PAN=Pantheon

    or

    RotF=Rise of the Fallen

    or

    PRotF=Pantheon Rise of the Fallen

    Given WarWizard, EQ, and Vanguard...it would be appropriate to abbreviate Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen as....

    Brad’s Fourth Game (or simply BFG).

    I believe they settled on PRF quite a while ago.  I can't remember where I read that, but I'll try to find it.

    I actually just call it Pantheon - I don't even consider the "Rise of the Fallen" part of its title. :x

    I like the BFG acronym.  Some people will recognize it from the Roald Dahl book.  Others will remember a pretty epic weapon from the Doom franchise.  We could also go with MMMOSGA!  I personally just call it Pantheon but I do like the added verbiage if I'm writing something promotional.  Rise of the Fallen has meaning to me ... it symbolizes what I hope VR will accomplish with Pantheon ... the Rise of the Fallen MMO elements that are actually worth a damn.

    Correct, this is the official abbreviation for it.


    Moved to off-topic as it does not relate to general Pantheon discussion, we also have several discussions on this already. :)

    Hmm. "Pruf". It's no "Wow!" is it? Hehe.

    "Gonna play some Pruf tonight, guys!".  Hmm.

    Good thing it's going to be awesome!

    My two cents would just be to call it "Panth"

    I think in line with the OP, not so much an acronym used in type (PRF is good to me), I just say Pantheon. Pantheon is short and sweet, quick to say, no tongue twisted in the process, and unique enough in the gaming community (I think) that it properly conveys what game is being spoken of. :)
