Something to convey the fact that it's interactive story game book things ....

Got any ideas? I might put a contest up if we decide it'stime for a new name.

Dunno yet ... not sure if we even need it, but I think we might ...

First, make sure to check if the name is registered at http://www.register.com. Just type in the .com name

One idea I thought woulda been cool (after seeing urs) is Textventures.com ... but it's taken.

Ooh, that's good to know. I like keeping "text" in there.

I'm going to wait until choco gets back and we can work with our Graphic Designer on the new look. Probably around december or something.

im gonna be a stick in the mud and say "WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING?" lol I think the name is perfect. i realize that some people do come here looking for 3D graphic games or something similar. but that kind of thing could be good for our site. nothing like having people accidentally stop by lol. however, if that is what you are worried about then how about a slogan rather than a name change. "MyAdventureGame.com  We look better in text!" lol ok, that slogan is pretty silly and all but dont change MAG.

Typical conversation now:

A: So what do you do for fun?

B: I work on multipath adventure stories on a website.

A: What website?

B: MAG

A: Mag?

B:no, not Mag. MAG!!! Myadventuregame.com.

Typical conversation if name changed:

A: so what do you do for fun?

B: i work on stories for this website.

A: what website?

B: Ummm, i dont remember.

A:you dont remember?!

B: yeah, they changed it even though nate told them not to and i just forgot what they changed it to! just go to google and type in my user name and hopefully that will locate it for you!

POINT MADE.

A person could remember it. It's not like MAG was the only way to remember the site 4 months ago.

Also, there is a game for interactivity on the PS2 for spiderman called MAG (multi action game). It sucks though.

What about Adventuretext.com or Adtext.com

New name for MyAdventureGame.com ?

Well, this isn't a definite, just speculation. One reason we have not been more popular is because of the image. The "text fans" don't come because they think it's not for them, and the "game fans" don't stay because they are interested in "games" not somuch text.

The solution to this is not more features, but changing the image. Rebranding the site. We need to look like we're aboout text-based interactive stories, not "games" in the Flash sense.

I don't know what that will involve, since I'm not an expert at such things. We will, however, work with someone who is a professional on it. It's hard estimate what the change will look like (heck, If I knew what it would look like, then I would do it myself!)

Our core featureset will remain the same -- textbased avdenture gamestories created with *no* programming knowledge whatsoever. It will probably just come with a new look.

textgamesworld.com How about that? It works.

New name for MyAdventureGame.com ?

It's something to think about ... I'm not going to commit (or say we even need to change names) ... all we want is for someone to visit just about any page on this site and say, "interactive gamestories!"

www.readgames.com  (just a thought)

New name for MyAdventureGame.com ?

Why change the title? I know some more 'pizzaz' might be cool, but if any new name try to make it more encompassing of the website, something which shows it's diversity in games, 'cuz names like 'text adventure' genarally make people think of dragon type games...
Just a thought...
You could also encompass the fact that there would be more stuff than just games, you can interact with people, or create games...
