Talk:Grenz Frontier

Ouch, that name hurts. "Grenze" is german for "border" or "frontier". : --84-175 (talk) 08:18, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * So its meaning is almost "Frontier Frontier"; Grenze minus the 'e'. The person(s) at ANet who create names are slacking off :P --Gares Redstorm 08:38, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Exactly. Actually, if you use the word in a contraction, the "e" is left anyway (for example: "border patrol" would be "Grenzpatrouille"). --84-175 (talk) 08:47, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Yes that is quite the painful name however doesn’t bug me nearly as much as Tyrannosaurus Rex (tyranos=king/ruler/tyrant rex=king/ruler/tyrant), why can people stop mixing Latin and Classical Greek? Especially when using the same word. A little off topic I know but just thought I would throw it in or an example of a common doubled up name.


 * Or the River Avon in Wales, Avon being Welsh for River. This sort of thing is quite common in the real world too, so maybe the ANet staff were just being ironic. --221.84.170.134 04:13, 18 July 2006 (CDT)

the DDR (the former East Germany) was called a "Volksdemokratie". demos = Volk = the people; kratein = to rule;  so it's "people-people-rule"; rediculous ^^

Another example in GW itself is Echovald Forest. The German word "Wald" means "Forest" in English. --numma_cway 16:21, 18 August 2006 (CDT)
