As many know Qeynos is Sonyeq backwards, well in EQ lore they have so nicely translated Qeynos for us, Qeynos means Human Destiny, so, SonyEQ is the humans destiny! YAY! lol

    Actually by that logic. It would be backwards Human Destiny. Maybe some kind of opposite dimension or something. Wasn't there something like that in Superman?

    or, more likely...

    Since its backwards human destiny, it would be in reality de-evolution. And therefore Qeynos should be a city full of monkeys...or something like that...

    ok, back to my room with the padded walls....image

    Everything born must die. All that is, will come to ruin. This is the essence of Doom. So sayeth the Doomsayer.

    lol, you're too funny Doomsayer.

    I'll add my 2cp.  Perhaps the whole point of putting SonyEQ in the game permanently in the form of the city Qeynos is for the purposes of subliminal messaging.  Everytime you see Qeynos, you think SonyEQ as long as you realize that Qeynos is indeed SonyEQ backwards.  Just a nice, clever little marketing trick used by SOE. image

    I could just be reading too far into this and the simplest answer could be that the developers ran out of ideas for the name of the city in the original EQ and decided to just spell SonyEQ backwards since it is the name of their company and product. image

    There are a lot of anagrams, and backwards spelled things in EQ.

    Tunare - Nature
    Fennin Ro - Inferno
    Tarew Mar - Water... er Arm(?)
    Xegony - Oxygen
    Rathe - Earth

    There are more if I remember, but those are the ones that stick out.

    I wonder if that was part of the financing deal that Verant and 989 Studios worked out with Sony in the beginning. I have heard this before, but not the translation part. Cute...
