AirRivals started its closed beta in January and many SCO gamers are excited. "SCO is back now YEAH YEAH YEAH =D". And on February 13, the official website for Ace Online announced that Ace Online moved into open beta. As the global version for SCO, Ace Online also attracts many players' attention. "I think I stay with flysis man... no matter there is a global version," some player says. And what kind of choice will you make then?

Space Cowboy Online, AirRivals and Ace Online. When you see these names, you may not realize that they refer to the same game. Space Cowboy Online is the first name for this game, which was originally serviced by Gala-Net in North America. However, Space Cowboy Online was shut down on December 26, 2007, and the license held by Gala-Net then was sold to Yeldang. Yeldang changed the name into Ace Online. And AirRivals is the version currently serviced by GameForge in European region.

Here's a poll for you to vote.

What's your opinion about the phenomenon of a game having different names?
Acceptable, it makes things clearer.
I don't care, as long as it won't affect my playing.
Unacceptable, it really makes me confused.
  

Do you know any other games that has changed name? Thank you for sharing it with other players.

It's a little too complicated? Yes! Due to different reasons, a game may have different names, like Asda Story/MicMac, Orka/Yuina, etc. One reason is the game is brought back into service again, and the publisher would prefer to change its original name into a different one. However, since the gamer is familiar with the original name and the change might give him a bad feeling. The other reason is the game is serviced in different territories by different companies, and in order to distinguish different versions, the publishers will adopt different names for the game. And if the game is published in a different territory by another company, normally your first reaction will be: "oh, God, IP banning is coming." And some gamers may not be able to play the version they're playing.
