So the theme of the game is a universe. Realistically more of a star cluster.

So where does the term World War fit in here?

It sounds nicely?

Given our RL history roots, I'd say it is quite apropriate.

Can you come up with a better meme?

Maybe narrow minded. Kinda like coloring a space ship desert camouflage. Really brings out the cold expanse of the universe doesn't it.

In think in RL 'World War' have different meaning.

1st WW was between european countries for colonies over the world. It includes Africa, Asia, maybe some islands in seas. Not sure about Americas.

2nd WW involved Europe, Japan, battles in Africa, USA, battles in Pacific Ocean islands, etc...

Eve Online: the war happens (by Mittani words) between sovless alliances and sov-holding coalition in the North of the map. It is not 100% true but has some merits. The war is not about taking space.
MBC version: this war is about destroying goons. Again: no relation to the whole World. I'm not sure that currently EVe Online will see big changes should goons disappear tomorrow.
Add here that many players just come there for kills and many groups do not even participate.

It just popped on me why I like the sound of it: I quite liked Wolrd War Z, both book and movie.

It has a nice rythm.

I don't care about roots or RL relatonship with the meme, I just like it.

There are multiple inhabited worlds in New Eden, and those that are located in Nullsec (including planetside colonies and planetary industry compounds (a.k.a. PI Command Centers)) and they are managed and maintained by the Sovereign System, which itself is supported by the ownership of the Fluid Router Array (iHub) that allows FTL Communications between those Nullsec systems and the rest of the Cluster. This is how CONCORD keeps track of who owns what in EVE.

This war is indeed a World War in the context of New Eden, since it is a war for the control of the worlds kept by the Imperium and their allies. A purge if you will, of all Imperium. The Bee part is due to the common heraldic association of the "Fat Bee" cartoon with the Goonswarm Federation and their allies of the Imperium. Hence the name.

I mean, really, unless you ignore the certain liberties taken on how the culture of the EVE players and the game lore intertwine, you are going to have a hard time. No other MMO comes close to how much power we have as players over the lore and general story of this game, and that comes at the cost of having dank memes and propaganda be part of our EVE history.

This thread is the reason normal folks think that those of us who play games are both crazy and stupid lol. The name is just a silly play on the phrase "World War 3" (in the same way the movie/book World War Z did it) because Goons use a bee for their logo. It's all in good fun because the Goons are at the center of this war.

If the name is bothering you, you got way more problems than a video game war.

It makes Mittens salty, which is good enough for me.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Basically this. Ironically iirc its actually also possibly the 3rd great war in eves history where the ruling "class" was usurped in some sense of the word by the united new eden citizenry.

It also has a nice ring to it and so humanity tends to memorize and remember things that come naturally to the mind or the tongue. Personally I love it.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.
