Renaming the realms

Hey everyone, this is just a small thought I've had here and that I'd like to discuss around to see if anyone supports the idea. I was just wondering that maybe we could rename the realms to something related to the game's universe, just like it's done on retail and other private servers. In my opinion it wouldn't take much effort to everyone adapt to the new names and it'd look way cooler to see names like Twisting Nether, Ragnaros, Kel'thuzad, etc. We could even have some polls to decide the best names.

Anyone else thinks the same?

Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
only reasonable option

now seriously: it screws up some addons (forces you to replace the realmname) which causes struggles to some players
thus shouln't be done if not necessary

At the rate we're going, we'd be best off renaming the PVP server to "箫箫你好农场。"

Yeah I know it would require a small effort for the players to adapt to it, but maybe the staff could just apply it during one of the weekly maintenances and players would simply update the addons while the servers are off. In my opinion, the effort would be worth the new names :D

It is the best variant for majority of players on Nost.

Ok apart from the jokes, nobody else interested on this?

PvP and PvE are good enough when you only have 2. When we get to BC, maybe we can consider new names. But they will probably just call the BC set "Nostalrius Continues", or something along that line. But they could very well just call them "Classic" and "Burning Crusade". I don't see why you need crazy names when you only have a handful of realms.
