I have almost always dislike the name Samurai as a kingdom name for a Japanese theme kingdom. Samurai means warrior in Japanese and having that as a Kingdom name I thought was a bit insulting to the idea. It would be like having Zormite renamed to “Fish” or Forest renamed to “Elf” Samurai is just a rank and nothing more.
So as of April 27, 2008 the kingdom of Samurai will now be known as Rising Sun. The reason for this name is quite simple. Japan is also sometimes referred to as “Land of the Rising Sun” and naming Samurai Japn wouldn’t of worked I thought taking and using Rising Sun would be more fitting. Its something that new players won’t have trouble remembering and also has meaning. I consulted other GK members before I made this choice and everyone liked the idea.
You can post your thoughts about the new name in this thread if you would like just keep it clean.
