So basically a city full of sharks that sound like Curly from the 3 stooges? (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9gKzBkIgAAAlqL.jpg)
More inclined to expect... "Chatroom Of Capes"
Still, better than "Walk or fly around and hold up a torch by yourself".
I suggest that whatever it gets called, it NOT have "City of" at the front, lest NCsoft get shirty.
How about ....
Super Toons of Tiny Town
Perhaps just "Icon 2.0" would be sufficient rather than renaming it entirely?

I was thinking that too. Seems more appropriate, and low key.

FWIW this falls pretty firmly under parody/fair use. If this name was used it would be in more risk of getting flak from Jabber people than NCSOFT.
How about.. CoHnversation? :P

No, because it's completely separate from Icon and I don't want to confuse the two. There may be some surface similarity, but they are based on completely different methods of operation.
I also don't want to rule out the possibility of a future Icon 2.0 that does different but still completely offline things.

:D Hay there codewalker, thanks for all the cool things you have been doing for the community! I know I can't code for beans but I do know my graphics pretty well despite the off center joke at the top of the thread so please let me know if there is anything I could do to help.
I've already taken to calling it City of XMPP, or CoXMPP for short, until an official name arrives. Reminds me of calling the game "CoX" in the first place.

I dunno why we're giving it a Korean name when NCSoft has no involvement in the project, but I bow to the will of the community.
Well, that's not the name, that's the release date.
The name hasn't been announced yet. :P
How about:
Super Fire Dragon's fun house of chat?
or

or

or

Well, I opened the thread to suggest Xoon™, but I guess I won't now. How about XIcon?
Depending on how long it takes to announce the name and when it launches, you may be stuck with Soon. You may name it, but whatever sticks is what people will call it. Remember Plan Z? That was a casual reference to where a fan built MMORPG would be in the list of attempts to save CoH and yet it got a life of its own.

I called it
SOONtm for the same reason I refer to the buy-out effort as "Nate and the Mysterions" -- because I need use of a name that people will understand and don't have an official one available. That's what you get for announcing it with that graphic. :P
Why not FREEM?
Soon is when it's coming (and we all know that by CoX definitions that can be next week, next month, or maybe by New Years). FREEM, however, speaks volumes...

So it's settled.
The XMPP client enabled ICON will be called ...
Super Fire Dragon's Fun House of Chat.
Freem does make sense. Since we still won't have attack animations and such, we'll have to run around using onomatopoeias at each other. ;)
Player 1: "pew pew!"
Player 2: "Freem!"
Player 1: "Aw, you win. :-("

Fixed.
Dark horse vote over here for Jabboonx.
Freem is not a good name, because it has other meanings
SoonTM, besides half the people on the forum seem to not be able to use superscript, is a bad name.
ICON 2.0 is out, because it isn't ICON.
Jabber Jaw is all wrong.
Jabboonx might be fun to say, but no.
That just leaves ...
Super Fire Dragon's Fun House of Chat.

I'm going to have to disqualify that name, just on the unfortunate phonetic acronym:
"SuFir D FuHC" is not appropriately evocative.
Another guess... "Nemesis Chat Software".

No. It's not the working title. There is no (public) working title. Soon is the timeline for which Codewalker, et al, will release more information on it.
Soon is also when we'll be announcing the title and other information about it.

Wow, lots of animosity about this, sorry Agge :(
It's what I've seen most people, here and on facebook adopt as the working title, it's not -that- stupid, just what we're calling it right now, yeesh.

If the "powers that be" don't like the working title people have given it, then perhaps they should give us a proper one to use?
We were waiting for the right moment to announce it.

I like it, woo!
:P You guys sure know when to announce stuff. Stupid busy work day keeping me from doing my thing, well at any rate I like the name. I think I will do something a bit more serious when I have more time.
**EDIT**
Screw it we are doing this live, had an inspiration pop and went for it. Will be iterated on a bunch~

yeah, BTW, I'm only joking around about the name. I had absolutely nothing to do with any of it.
Although, I am a developer, I work in IT, yeah CRUD apps for office-trolls entering data into databases. But it keeps my ISP & electric bills paid, so can't complain.
Anyway, hats off to Codewalker and team, and when do we get to play chat?
