In the light of the current global situation regarding ISIS and its barbaric abuse and lack of respect for human life.
Can we please rename ISIS in game. It reminds me everyday I log on of the misery currently connected to this name. It may seem trivial but at least it will not bring to mind the misery in real life that we all attempt to escape from in game, especially those like me who live in close proximity the affected areas.

If you agree please give this post +1 and hopefully CCP will read and act responsibly without anyone taking offence.

Not only should they keep the name, it should make this sound when you open it.

Our Isis was here first, and is way cooler.

Go tell them to change their name instead.

Besides, you'll probably have a more positive response from them than you'll get here.

Silly, were obviously talking about the Egyptian goddesses here.

They should totally change historical and even some current religions because a bunch of modern day savages like the sound of the name.

Thank god their name isn't "God", that would be awkward now wouldn't it?

So should we rename the ancient Egyptian God as well?

I think you're a moron, because you called the OP a moron for just stating his opinion.

You could report that you got the urge to travel to Turkey then Syria when you clicked on ISIS and looked at the ships, and let whatever government agency you have do its investigation and see what happens.

No. By changing things that were present before a terrorist group used the name just gives them more power. They cant control us, or force us to change things just because they started using a name that has been around for ages.

They should change it. The hypocritical petitions to change it back would be funny.
