Speed Server: Name and launch date announced

on . Posted in News

Speed Server: Name and launch date announcedAfter receiving hundreds of suggestions we have finally decided on the name for our first speed server, Ares. From Wikipedia: Ares is the Greek god of war. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. In Greek literature, he often represents the physical or violent aspect of war, in contrast to the armored Atehan, whose functions as a goddess of intelligence include military strategy and generalship.

There was still the impending fleet engagement. With these largely untested ships, most of the crew had not relished the idea of heading into a combat situation.
