So the theme of the game is a universe. Realistically more of a star cluster.
So where does the term World War fit in here?

It sounds nicely?
Given our RL history roots, I'd say it is quite apropriate.
Can you come up with a better meme?

1st WW was between european countries for colonies over the world. It includes Africa, Asia, maybe some islands in seas. Not sure about Americas.
2nd WW involved Europe, Japan, battles in Africa, USA, battles in Pacific Ocean islands, etc...
Eve Online: the war happens (by Mittani words) between sovless alliances and sov-holding coalition in the North of the map. It is not 100% true but has some merits. The war is not about taking space. MBC version: this war is about destroying goons. Again: no relation to the whole World. I'm not sure that currently EVe Online will see big changes should goons disappear tomorrow. Add here that many players just come there for kills and many groups do not even participate.

It just popped on me why I like the sound of it: I quite liked Wolrd War Z, both book and movie.
It has a nice rythm.
I don't care about roots or RL relatonship with the meme, I just like it.

There are multiple inhabited worlds in New Eden, and those that are located in Nullsec (including planetside colonies and planetary industry compounds (a.k.a. PI Command Centers)) are managed and maintained by the Sovereign System, which itself is supported by the ownership of the Fluid Router Array (iHub) that allows FTL Communications between those Nullsec systems and the rest of the Cluster. This is how CONCORD keeps track of who owns what in EVE.
This war is indeed a World War in the context of New Eden, since it is a war for the control of the worlds kept by the Imperium and their allies. A purge if you will, of all Imperium. The Bee part is due to the common heraldic association of the "Fat Bee" cartoon with the Goonswarm Federation and their allies of the Imperium. Hence the name.
I mean, really, unless you ignore the certain liberties taken on how the culture of the EVE players and the game lore intertwine, you are going to have a hard time. No other MMO comes close to how much power we have as players over the lore and general story of this game, and that comes at the cost of having dank memes and propaganda be part of our EVE history.

This thread is the reason normal folks think that those of us who play games are both crazy and stupid lol. The name is just a silly play on the phrase "World War 3" (in the same way the movie/book World War Z did it) because Goons use a bee for their logo. It's all in good fun because the Goons are at the center of this war.
If the name is bothering you, you got way more problems than a video game war. |

It makes Mittens salty, which is good enough for me.
Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Ironically iirc its actually also possibly the 3rd great war in eves history where the ruling "class" was usurped in some sense of the word by the united new eden citizenry.
It also has a nice ring to it and so humanity tends to memorize and remember things that come naturally to the mind or the tongue. Personally I love it.

world, noun: a, The Earth: The GÇïEarth and all the GÇïpeople, GÇïplaces, and things on it b, Group or area: A GÇïgroup of things such as GÇïcountries or GÇïanimals, or an GÇïarea of GÇïhuman GÇïactivity or GÇïunderstanding c, Planet/ Universe: A GÇïplanet or other GÇïpart of the GÇïuniverse, GÇïespecially one where GÇïlife might or does GÇïexist
The world the capsuleers live in is called New Eden, so World War Bee (named after the fat insect of one of the participants) fits it quite exact.

What Jack says - to a degree at least. My issue with this is not so much the "world" part, but the "bee" part. It implies it's all about Goonswarm Federation when it's not. Would be the same as calling it "World War Bastion", "World War Northerncoalitiondotte" or calling the Second World War "World War Japan". Calling it "World War Monkey" would be more accurate than this.
I understand it's a wordplay, and I am kind of fine with this (it's better than "The Easter War" in any case), but it's also disrespectful and inaccurate. |

Name ist Schall und Rauch, Goethe - Faust
Neuntausend, names of wars change as time goes on (remember the "war to end all wars") as people and historians reevaluate what occurred, and they continue to shape our perceptions of those events. Same will be with the "World War Bee". Imho, they named it not with a disrespectful meaning, imho "World War Bee" was meant to be a superlative.

Its a cool name. Fits the theme of a "Great War" in EVE's history. Works well as a hashtag. Isn't what goons want it called, apparently because they didn't think of it first? Pretty straightforward. |

12 year olds would probably try making up some pompous name, like they would try to sound adult. We can just drop this manner, as we know we are here to have fun, not to be an adult. That is escapism. Basically everything with word bee that have some connotation to a conflict would pass. Like for example Bees knees massacre.
