Didn't AoC already go the "Unchained" route when they went f2p? Regardless, the other two realms will probably get shafted b/c this game NEEDS the boost from ex-DAoC players. I was instantly intrigued when I read "Camelot" in the title.
Perhaps they can do something like Starcraft 2 did and reserve the other factions for future expansions.

Come on now, we all know that Albion was the one true realm... Those smelly, dirty mids and prissy, little hibs just hung on our coattails

Yea, I have to disagree with this to, while I did play both Hib and Alb, and mostly on Mordred, my heart always was in Hiberina, and I still really liked the DAoC title.
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"
I think just "The Warring Kingdoms" has a nice ring to it.
yea but why copy another title's name?
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
How about "Conquest of the Centurion Knights"? Theres a nice acronym for ya. Yea, centurions were Roman, big whoop. Wanna fightaboutit?
Anywho.. I see nothing wrong with Camelot Unchained, other than that it may harken to Conan (O'brian.) It all depends on how deeply they want to take it with the lore. If they want to go all out with it, they could choose something norse/anglo-sounding... something era-approrpriate, since the three mythologies are northern-european.
But seeing how the company is mainly stressing the nature of the gameplay, crafting and pvp, I don't think the lore will be the driving force in the game. Especially considering how the bringing together of the respecive mythologies seems kinda forced and cheesy, and how lightly City State Ent. seems to take itself judging by their website, I don't think they'll be branding themselves as having a super serious, epic story. It seems more about the fun, the brew, the babes, and the blades.

LOL. Hilarious.
most likely the winner
Even Darker Ages of Camelot
this leaves room for the 3rd game in another 10 years...
Darkest Ages of Camelot
Camelot Rising does have a ring to it.

If they are sticking close to DAoC, I like Camelot Reborn. If they have decided to go a different route, I am going to suggest A Turd Repolished.

I vote for:
Return of Legends (RoL)
Lands of Lore would be nice, too. But unfortunately, Westwood was faster

Looking forward to: Camelot Unchained, Star Citizen

Camelot: Orgins
and yes.. i know
The Fabled Realms
The Shrouded War
Shadows of Myth
The Saga of Antiquities
City State Online
I also really do like the "RvR" name for the game, but I am sure that is all grades of pain to obtain.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Hmm, there is room for improvement, how about:
Return of Fairy Legends
or short ROFL ?
