I propose we change the name. Several reasons.

1. The “woods” theme hasn’t been used very much, and I don’t think it will be anytime soon, if ever.
2. “Woods of Torbin” is a bit too long of a name for people to type into an address bar. Having http://www.geocities.com/woodsoftorbin/ is a bit silly, so the acronym wot is used, but this acronym is too common. Googling for it would give you millions of result and no sign of our game anywhere near the top. Even googling for “WoT game” would give you something else - The Wheel of Time.
3. Using “WoT” in the URL is too ambiguous (not to mention them being taken most of the time), using “kostatus” as I do now is a bit silly.
4. Adding “RL” for Roguelike at the end of the name would not make sense in this issue. WoTRL? YUK!

So as much I have gotten used to and attached the name Woods of Torbin and WoT, I think we will need a change.

I haven’t thought up a definite replacement yet, it’s hard. But here are a few proposals (I am not too warmed up to either one actually):

• Torbin
• TorbinRL
• Kostellas (Kostatus+Atholas=Kostellas, a bit ridiculous though… And sort of like naming a city “Stalingrad” after yourself)
• Something in a foreign language typed up in English. I like Papaki’s name.
