Marked 197 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 RMU was invented to tred water and stop the ship sinking. As it turned out, the name change made little difference. In my opinion, the name difference here really is irrelevant in terms of traffic. RMU is however referring to RPG Maker and allows us to have "RPG MAker" in every pagetitle, but in practice it doesn't make much difference to search traffic. I think this vote should be about our brand and our content. Obviously we're an RPG Maker website, but all our custom content sections (resources, tutorials, games) are not necessarily RPG Maker only. The domain name was also made to reflect the name Game Dev Unlimited. I made the decision to use GDU branding in the games section because I don't want it to be associated with only RPG Maker, and the system is something I want to be at the core of what GDU is, a community of game creating, sharing and helping. So what do you think, is the time right to switch to GDU, or do you think the site should remain known as RMU? For fun, here's all the names that I can recall this site has been known by: RPGXP Unlimited (2006) RMXP Revolution (2007, a few weeks) RMXP Unlimited (2007-2012) Game Dev Unlimited (2012-2013) RPG Maker Unlimited (2013-2014) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phionabrie 7 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 I think you shouldn't ask us indecisive people to make decisions... ~glares~ That said. I don't really have a preference between GDU and RMU in abbreviated forms. For the long forms I like RPG Maker Unlimited better than Game Dev Unlimited, but only because I prefer the increased number of syllables. If It was between RPG Maker Unlimited and Game Development Unlimited, I'd be either or. To me Dev (or Devs) is supposed to be in specific reference to the developer people.

Polraudio 122 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 How about something that doesnt tie us only to rpg maker but rpg's as a whole. EX: "RPG Unlimited" would mean we are a community that makes RPG's with anything and not limited to RPG Maker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EX: "RPG Unlimited" would mean we are a community that makes RPG's with anything and not limited to RPG Maker. "RPG Unlimited" does not suggest we're a community of game-makers in the first place. What it says is we are a community that does something that revolves around RPG. Also who makes RPGs with anything else thatn RPG Maker here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 Interesting points. I agree with Moonpearl but still prefer RPG Unlimited over RPG Maker Unlimited. Stupid VX had to come and ruin "RMXP Unlimited". Oh well. Obviously having made this topic, I am considering making a subtle switch back to GDU :) Please, more votes! Only 3... my vote counts for at least 10 (in my mind :D).

Marked 197 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 It didn't ruin anything. We're still very partial to RMXP no matter what. I meant that it ruined our name because we were forced to include other engines. Most of us may be partial to RMXP, but we're definitely not merely an RMXP website.
