Actually I thought "Legend of Three Kingdoms" would be nice, but that one would REALLY confuse them in the Asian markets ("Sangoku" stories are usually set in ancient China).
i admit that for 2 reasons i like Camelot Unchained.
it stills refers to DAoC game, legends and lore that we will find in CU, but also a kind of ....dont know how to say it...but a "rude gesture" to EA as MJ removed in his ball and chain that EA made him wear :P

I also like that the name refers to Camelot linking it in spirit to DAOC. I don't like "unchained" but maybe some other word that starts with "u" could be picked (Camelot Unveiled? meh) then we would still refer to the game as CU. Or maybe we're just stuck with Camelot Unchained at this point and it would be confusing to change it unless CSE can think of some awesome new name that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread.
Well, we've heard a little bit more about the game now, and it appears that the three realms will basically be re-colonising the world after the veil had been pierced and the world has been shattered, claiming land as they go.

Should it have Camelot in it to attract more ex-DAoC players or should it be more neutral?
The abbrevation should also sound cool. DAoC and CU are fine. "Crusaders of Camelot" would be disastrous.
I can understand why he chose to include the word "Camelot" since it's been so popularized in our culture in movies, etc. But it just seems so unfair to the other mythologies in the game. Personally, I'd unchain the word "Camelot" from the title altogether. I think a title describing what it actually is would be best. Something like:
"Lords of Myth & Fantasy"
or
"The Warring Kingdoms of Mythology"
Honestly i'm not trying to be a prick, and i don't think i can stress that point enough but both of those names are horrible, they insist upon themselves too much. Needs to be catchy, to the point, maybe a little bit of swagger.
I don't personally see ap roblem with the word Camelot in the title and frankly we don't really know enough about the direction with the lore Jacobs is going to suggest names like:
Dragon War
Camelot Origin
Origins of Camelot
Midevil Realms
Unchained Camelot
For all we know the name could eventually be Realm Conquest

I believe the best game titles are (relatively) short, to the point, memorable, and distinctive. There are exceptions to any rule, but for the most part I think this is the best way to go.
One of my favourite name progressions went like this: Heroes of Telara -> Rift: Planes of Telara -> Rift
It went from generic and bland, to a bit more imaginative but long, and finally it cut straight to the point: short, powerful, and memorable. Rift is a great name for the game.
Now, a name does not need to be that short, but this progression shows each step getting better.
I still am fairly against "Camelot" in the title, again because it has too much history and also because it is the name of one of the realms. It just seems a bit biased.
I do not have any good suggestions of my own, but something that evokes a mental picture of conflict, epic battles, and long, bloody wars would be what I would aim for.
Why are the different sides actually fighting? It may be the simple reason why men have fought throughout the ages. They know their God’s are the correct one and the others are false gods. So basically it boils down to a battle over Mythos.
So the game may be best named with Mythos in the title like:
Mythos at War
War of the Mythos
Mythos
Or anything along that line.

I would say let's go for an Anagram of 'Camelot Unchained', like:
Heated Councilman
Unaccidental Home
Launched Coinmate
Unlocated Machine
Methodical Nuance
Or, if you prefer a title with 3 words:
Academic Hotel Nun
Unclothe da Anemic
Eat Daemonic Lunch
Methos, Armsman, EU Excalibur
Jager, Infiltrator, EU Excalibur
Phos, Cleric, EU Excalibur
Mortify, Sorcerer, EU Excalibur

You've inspired me to come up with Camelot Overcomes All Danger (COAD).

So how about..

Haha! Oh my.. playing a game called "Working As Intended" would be awesome!
I really like that.
It could also be named something like "Reunion". Well... in a bloody and brutal way, but.. Nah, I guess it'll be misunderstood too easy.
I could also imagine a name that describes brute, unstoppable forces, clashing and fighting a constant war. Sum it up and put it in one word. I can't

So many names! I am thinking of something which takes ideas from others.
