Can you reconsider Erebos?

Mithras is meh but ok, but what is Erebos? How do you even pronounce this? Is the Ere pronounce like air, ara, erie, or ear? And is the bos pronounced like bus, boss, or bose? That's at least 12 pronunciation permutations right there! If it's not too late you really should pick a new name for the second server.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erebus
In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/, also Erebos (Greek: Ἔρεβος, "deep darkness, shadow"),[1] was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos.

The new names ok I guess but I see no mention of which one is for what server. Which name does Govinda become?

Hmmm Erebos...I'm leaning towards the theory that they just liked the name Erebor from the hobbit and decided to change the R at the end to a S so they won't under go law suits.

Really zid? Flaming me for responding to a question of the OP's? And as for if i thought magic the gathering invented the name, being completely honest, I had no desire or need to see if I could find the origin of the name "Erebos." Playing magic the gathering was how I first learned of the name, which is why I referenced it for how I got its phonetic spelling. Now, anything constructive to say about my post?

Zid, why dont you ever say anything constructive. Everytime i hear about you its always some type of negative comment...
then you flame others for the same thing you do.

On the other hand, im glad that the servers are finally being merged. Any name would fit in my opinion.

Truth be told I knew someone was going to ask this.

Another truth be told: We don't know.

I did send a message, email, smoke signal and emergency message to the powers that be. We should know by Monday.

Zeri i was pulling your leg and wondering why you had to put it in phonetic wording, is it that hard to say Erebos?? :beer:

Blasian keep concentrating on what you think is non constructive, just blacklist me so you do not see what i write if it offends you, since that is a trend in the times we live in. lol

I put it in phonetic wording because the OP asked how it was pronounced.
