Apex sounds cool.

With or without "Lobby" is up to you...

I personally think something like
Apex Multi-Game Lobby Client
would be best, Apex as the name and the rest as a subtitle.

[zwzsg]

Apex is already taken by that thing which is more or less also a lobby software.

[Gota]

Does the name really matter?AFlobby is fine.What isthe most important thing is the lobby's actual effeciency and user friendlines.
If you get those right nobody will care about the name.

You should change your name to "Annoying Git".

After all, nobody will care about the name, right?

Less trolling, thanks. General warning issued.

[Felix the Cat]

I subtly made an important point with my troll... unfortunately the target of the point is unlikely to grasp subtlety.

[TheBigPK]

Fire(star)Connect? FC sounds cool.
Interplay... meh google shows its overused, big surprise.
StrategyHub
Epic lobby
Joint Strategy
Rush Lobby/client
Convergence
Red Server
TacCom
Visage Lobby
Open Lobby
Open Play
Live Strat
just Firestar
...
Or using your last name somehow could work.

Most of, if not all, of those are lame, I'm just tossing stuff out

Michilus

Convergence

I like that one

[Machiosabre]

you guys might as well give up, nobody is going to beat "magic horse".

[Lolsquad_Steven]

Fun lobby
doom lobby
vagina lobby
friends lobby
satan lobby

jSpring

Or anything else emphasizing either Java or cross platform Spring lobby client. Why not jSpringClient or something like that?

[tombom]

Do bear in mind that AFLobby is not just for spring, so names like 'uber spring lobby' or 'spring Lobby client' are inappropriate. The glest users wont be too thrilled by it and my eventual plans to support other game engines such as TA will be borked by such a name change.

[TradeMark]

brainstorm? sounds more like a game name.

[AF]

Im also not keen on expounding the java-ness of AFLobby since users are likely to perceive it as slow regardless of the performance.

It would be like presenting you with the worlds slowest computer and asking how slow you thought it was, you'd say extremely slow, but I'd know that its not the slowest computer at all, its actually the worlds fastest computer.


Converge sounds alright but I don't really see a spark to it. I ditched Apex probably because I thought it sounded too arrogant, and Epic lobby sounds alright but I already have Epic AI so that's a clash of sorts, I dont know, perhaps I could have the two co-exist if I always refer to them with AI or lobby on the end?

'Rush' sounds nice, cliche perhaps? What do people think? I'm not too keen on 'Strategy Hub' but how about just 'Hub'?

If I used my last name we would end up with Nowell Lobby, and since most people fail utterly in trying to pronounce nowell (nowell != knoll != noel != nole != knowle), it would sort of fail utterly =( however, N Lobby would be nice, what do people think of that?

[Neddie]

nClient or nLobby.

[rattle]

Nowell => Novell

[Machiosabre]

[TradeMark]

Dude... you cant make it into single word, it must have client or lobby int it, or something like that... or it doesnt sound lobby client at all...

[Forboding Angel]

This may sound dumb... But how about HubClient or Foyer or OSGLobby, or OSGHub (OSG standing for Open Source Gaming). OSRTSHub?
