After much discussion amongst themselves, the dragons have announced that they would henceforth prefer to be referred to as rreigns to better distinguish themselves from the plethora of other dragon species on Subeta. One of Subeta's most famous rreign, Curie, has informed us that the name is pronounced much like our word rain with a guttural growl-like sound at the beginning.
Despite the suggestive nature of the word ''prefer,'' they would also like to include that anyone choosing not to respect their wishes does so at their own risk of being summarily fried and devoured by a more sensitive member of their species! :o

Dude, seriously? I can't even remember the name of the species of all my pets. And I only have five.
I didn't get a -checks- Popoko because I liked the name of the species. You could have called the species anything, you could have just massed the keyboard, and I would still be all "yay alien squirrel!" My pet is called Xad, not Sun Popoko.

Cool! I was just thinking this species original name was too plain and generic. I like this new one, sounds more mystifying. XD
your kidding me right? People are getting mad about a name change o_o
What has the world come to? Im glad that they changed the name. Like the post said. They already have a few dragon pets on here. It doesn't work well to have a dragon species called dragon. It just doesn't at all.
The staff is right and other users are right as well when the staff cant have you guys have your say in every single thing they're thinking of doing to the site.
Be thankful that you have some say. It's very VERY rare to see that in other sites. Subeta has done a great job overall. Be happy about that.
Still not happy? Well then, pack your bags and leave.

O_o not quite sure on the name....
I personly don't like the new name but I'll deal... I will still them dragons but so you know the new name really doesn't seem to fit it just sounds more like it should be for one of the hooved pets like (Hikei or Devonti) but that's just me!

Wow...I've never seen so many people upset over a name before. O_o
I actually really like the new name. However, the lack of capitalization really, really irks me. Not because of grammar reasons, but simply because Rreign just looks better. Having two lowercase repeat letters side by side just looks redundant and makes the name unappealing. If that first r would just change to uppercase, the name change would win me over 100%. ^^'

hmmm rreigns sound like something more horse like i personally don't think it suits the dragons (well rreigns lol) but i suppose i'll get used to it besides i don't want to be eaten <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />
Curie is well cool i want one any chance of users being able to change our rreigns like that <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

How can you misspell a word you made up, Noir?
Rreign and reign are NOT the same word/thing, just like a dillema and a dilemma aren't.

It's a better name, I think.. and.. it looks better, too. xD I would adopt one - He looks so .. awesome, how a dragon has to look. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

Never said anything about being part of dicision/s. I'm just wondering about the "why". And the arguments answered to complains util now just don't do explaining... just blocking.

To me rreign sounds like a play off region and in different myths and legends you get dragons or dragon-like creatures that come from different places spread over different regions of the Earth.
And who cares if its double letters? People sometimes name their pets with double letters, so now because a pet's species has been changed to have doubles its suddenly...
"ZOMG!!! DA WORLD IZ ENDIN! DA DRAGON GOT A NEEDED NAME-VAMP!!!!"

Blocking affects your gameplay DIRECTLY, as Luxe said.
Players are expecting to part part of every decision, but there is no way it can be done. Yes, it sucks, but how many sites let you decide as much things as Subeta does.
Instead of begging for a mile each time give you a inch, appreciate what you have, for you may not have it everywhere!

Just picking up the <i>probably effects more people</i>-thesis.<br />I'm fine with the change itself Rreign... most likely will misspell it many times but hey, it realy sounds good. Esp the growl thing.<br />Though without caps? I mean... is is a species name at all then? After what i've learned it isn't. - Yet allone the esthetic view at two small double consonants at the beginning? Just simply looks wrong. (again: to me, ... and quite some the others down here like it seems)<br /><br />The "fried and devoured" comment on the end of the News doesn't realy help to lighten the mood. =3
I always found the name "Dragon" to be too generic, so I'm happy it was changed. It could have been something other than Rreign, but I like it much more than Dragon, anyway. : ) Rrrrr.

The name was fine. Unoriginal? Maybe but what else do you expect to call a huge, flying reptilian that can breath fire, acid or ice?

OMG, REALLY? Did you just go there...? It is now a BAD thing to try to be different, original and unique? Someone alert the presses because this is BREAKING NEWS PEOPLE!!!!
Aren't you the same user that bitches and moans any time Subeta does ANYTHING that can be considered remotely similar to another site? Aren't you the player that bitched about how
Valenth copied PokePlushies? The same player that said the hikei revamp looked too much like a My Little Pony? The same player that gets her panties in a wad anything ANY subeta item looks like it may have been inspired by WoW, LOTR or well, anything?
And now you are bitching about Subeta trying to be different?
MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

It's okay. I personally dragon.. er rreign.. hard to get used to. But whatever, I kind of like the rolling R. xD Sounds more dragonish. But I actually would prefer to have species names capitalized.. No big deal.
I am sorry, but I felt the need to post to say that I totally agree about how bad this pet name change is. Subeta is trying to be unique with its own themes and names, but it is turning into something like neopets which I am not too fond of. The primary reason I joined subeta was because IT WAS almost like a mirror to the real world. We had DRAGONS and HALLOWEEN, not Morostide and we got items that were relevant to real life. It saddens me to see this site fall prey to trying to fit in, and displeasing its users, that's all.
Tatsunotoshi: The DRAGON has no cousins/different species so there's no need for special names. :/
And just so you know, you say it with a purr. Instead of just plain old "Reign" it's, "Rrrreign" but I'm still going to call them Dragons never the less. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
DNA: <i>"If you like the species, you're golden. If you don't like the species, you're also golden; if the name alone sways your decision, you're too damn picky."</i>
I still love the species, don't get me wrong. I even plan to adopt a <strong>dragon</strong> when I become gold again but the least you guys could have done was spell it correctly...
<i>"Everyone is going to get angry at me for adding my two cents, but I don't care anymore. "</i>
For once, you and I are on the same page. I'm done caring but I'm always going to call them DRAGONS. To hell with the lame name change.

Sorry, but I also dislike the new name change. The double "r" at the beginning just looks dumb, in my opinion. But that's just my opinion.

Luxe, there's always gonna be people who don't like what you guys as Staff have done. And they're ALWAYS going to be verbal about it. It's the way the real world works too. Sorry, but making changes to something that's been a certain way for a while and expecting not to get any comments about it is naive. If it's really so irritating, just ignore it. You're not being forced to answer the people who are bawwwing over this.

And, I doubt staff will warn me to call my Spectrum Demi...a Spectrum Demi, and not a spectrum demi.
CAPS ARE NOT A RULE ANYMORE! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CAPITALIZE IT THE WAY YOU WANT.
...I am not a number!
I'll still think of the pet as a Dragon for a really long time. But, the name change was so needed. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

If you don't like the name, what does it matter? Are you going to name your personal pet by the species?
If you like the species, you're golden. If you don't like the species, you're also golden; if the name alone sways your decision, you're too damn picky.

No.
This is why we HAVE a creative department for. Not all changes should be polled. The majority of the creative department will still be here in six, nine, twelve, eighteen months. It has not changed that much since I joined, two years ago.
Userbase? It has changed, tons of people left, tons of people stayed. It's not static enough for me to let ALL decisions on site in their hands. They have plenty of issues to chose on, they can't get the milk, the cow, and the farmer wife's ass.

I'm not too bothered about the name change, but lowercase makes me sad. They aren't animals. Real life doesn't apply.
(and by the way.. "the dragons have announced.." sounds a bit like ALL of the dragon-like species on Subeta are announcing ;P OH! The perils of noncapitalization.)

Well then. I guess all pets should either go into a "cat, fish, bird, dog, lizard" category. Poodles, bulldogs, chihuahuas, hounds should all be "dogs", because, accourding to you, they don't need special names.
I personally think the name is meant to diferentiate it from other dragons. That's it. The staff tried to be creative. If we had been polled on this, and given name hcoices, I bet people would still have given other name suggestions or critized the name options.
People are taking this the hard way because they a) this it sounds ridiculous because of the double "r" b.) They can't figure out how to pronounce the double "r" (myself included) c.) The don't like the capitalization. (which seems to have have gone back to a capital R in our pet lookups and in items.)
On a side note, anyone think Circe totally rocks??

I see some Welsh has been used or looked at <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Not a problem with me, seeing that I'm Welsh.
Looks to me like the staff had fun with a random word generator. But then again I don't really care how the thing's called.
User not found:
Hmm how did the staff come to the name "Rreign" and how does that fit the species? :/
I really don't like this change in name. rreign is such an ugly looking word. If it was Rheign like someone else suggested, the name wouldn't sound nicer, but it would look far better.
This new name will give me trouble. I'm dislectic. I will have trouble remembering difficult names like that.
Would you please use a poll before a name of a specie? Thank you.
Oh ... and you forgot to start the name with a capital.

Quite honestly, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to make that sound. There's not many people who are going to go about their daily lives rolling the R in Rreign. We'll all just pronounce it as rain.
Honestly I don't care for the name of a specie. They can name the mortikings "gsdgsgd" if they want to and I can still not care as long as they keep to be the same specie I always loved. That's why you get to name your pet; if you like the specie, go ahead. You don't go complaining on your pet "Koko" the hamster, just because you didn't liked the name of it's kind. It's not like we got asked when all the existing animals got their specie's name. Srsly.
The capitalization on the other hand "might" look like a big deal; but it's not. Luxe have said like a 100 times already they won't change the titles on anything. Not on your pet profile, not on the item names, not (wherever they should be on caps). Rreigns, rreigns, rReIgNs or however you want to write it, you won't get a warning for doing it your way.

I get that the double are is because of the growling sound, but ironically I had a conversation with a friend less than 24 hours ago about how I am entirely incapable of making a growling sound like that, logged onto Subeta, and found that a pet species I like has been renamed to a name including that sound.
Anyway, the double Rs would bug me if I didn't see how it's because of the pronunciation (and I do see it)... And I like the name. But what I don't like is how I am entirely incapable of correctly pronouncing the name of a species I like.
Here's to hoping the Dra-Rreigns don't mind me pronouncing it ''rain'' without the growl... Hopefully the sensitive ones won't eat me for it.

Don't care, acutally. I lost interest in them when they were revamped. The Mahar is my new Dragon, lol.

I think the new name is much better. Dragon was a bit... Following the crowd. But this new name is amazing. Good choice everyone (:
clutches Heralding hmmm I'm not sure what to think... While I agree that Dragons DID need a name change I greatly dislike the double r at the beginning of the name, something like Rhein or Rheign would be much prefered. And why no capital R?
Wow a name change caused a bunch of debating. I personally like it. Rreigns is nice and shows power.
Rowf...you have provided a solution i believe...hope someone cares to notice...a noteworthy post if I ever saw one...unlike mine XD
I can't say that I like the two Rs in Rreign. But it's much more original than dragon. :/
Personally I thing the pet species name should be spelled Rhreign
instead of the two Rs together.

What's with all the panties in a twist. This are bound to change because Subeta is obviously choosing to update and go forward and no one really likes change but we get used to it so maybe you just need to log off for a few weeks and come back when it rankles you less.
And to make a comparison, when Neo changed the whole site all we got for warning was a loveing meepit. At least here the starr will ast least talk to you.

I do like the idea of basing it on welsh, but I just think the name could be more imaginative. I like the spelling rhaen given a couple of posts ago, and Rrhaen looks pretty awsome in my opinion.
I think if the name is very unpopular, we should really have a poll on it, shouldn't we?
