Not a coincidence, it was derived from the word!

I hate it so much. Every time I read it, all I can think is "that's a typo."

If I remember correctly it actually is a typo. Someone typed "verloren" wrong and thought it was a good name for the game. The story behind names is often not so glamorous.

I kinda hate many current game names, I prefer this. Otherwise, making a current_year name is easy: noun adjective: noun. How about "Dark Kingdom: Multitude"?

*adjective noun: adjective, obviously

The first two usually make some sense together, the third one is where it gets creative / random.

I didn't even spot the missing "r" until I read this comment. Now I feel you.

Is the game a quest to find the lost r?

"Veloren (/ vɪlɔɹn /, ve-LOR-en, from German/Dutch verloren ('lost')) is an open-world, open-source multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust Language."
