When you type Warzone in google, you will get Call of Duty: Warzone. If you type Warzone game, you get Call of Duty: Warzone. Warzone is also a term used in conversation and in the news, so the game will be buried in with the articles and websites using the term. Warlight was, and still is unique to this game, save for the obscure homonymous novel. If you try to find the warzone wiki, you will be inundated with Call of Duty results. Warlight stands on its own merit, Warzone relies upon extra search words, which will ultimately relegate the game to obscurity.

i concur

I concur even more

i actually concur the most

Buried? Warzone is result #3 for me (using duckduckgo)

Tbh tho, if you are searching for warzone initially, its likely you will type "risk online". In which case its 3rd using google, and 3rd using duckduckgo

It's not even on the first page of Google.

I warned about this at the time when WarZone was announced. And it's true that most people will come here by searching "online risk" BUT - Fizzer actually said that the name "WarZone" would make the game EASIER TO FIND from the search engines, despite perpetually sharing the name with a dozen run of the mill games.

Agree totally!!

I say we find a new unique name altogether. Neither warzone nor warlight.

meh go back to warlight because that what the old members remember most newbies come and go some stay but most of the forums are before the name change to warzone and it is easier to remember warlight than warzone

Maybe WarUnity? If you know what I mean :)

thats a bad pun

Me!

Joined Warzone: 2/17/2019

that's a good observation, how many people active in the community joined post-WarZone? Surprisingly few.

I just ran a query: 75.1% of active accounts were created post-Warzone (thanks quarantine)

Cool! And most well-known players in Warzone formed their accounts in the WarLight times... That just shows how many other good players there are that are very little known due to two reasons: 1) Not playing much and not exploring clans/forums... 2) They only play with family and friends.

Whorezone.

3/4??????? Wow. Does that count late '17 players? ( Viking claims to have joined before WZ)

I concur, OP

warlight is a very bad name

Warzone Is good. we need to expand the userbase with a better ui interface in the app. In other words this game needs an overhaul, like a major major update.

I don't think that's the main issue here. It's just that the name warzone is often used outside of this game and it makes things in this game very hard to search. For instance searching up a particular forum thread, user or wiki entry requires you to scroll down a lot and you often don't even find what you are looking for.

^ try with

site:warzone.com

oh wow didn't know that existed

Viking claims to have joined before WZ

Yes, I joined before Warzone. I don't know if my app hadn't updated yet, but I know I joined in WL times. It was a month or so later it changed to WZ.

I joined after it was renamed Warzone :)

Well warlight makes this game sound oldish, while WarZone is a way better name yet it's a COD game as well. So I think renaming it would be the best idea

...but then again what would we name it?

Oooooooh! I have an idea


War____?
WarBelt, WarSector, WarPoint, WarLord, and WarBerth are some ideas

>Warlight makes the game sound old

Only if you know what the name refers to, which very few people do, and absolutely no one cares.

It was easy to see two years ago that some run of the mill crap game called "Warzone" would come out and cast a shadow on this game, I still say that the name change was ill advised.
