The names have to change if the metaphor is different. Sure, you could have ships run on mana, but it makes more sense in the eve setting that they have capacitors. There's a different between what acts as mana and what IS mana. You don't suggest that they change the name of the non-mana resources in WoW (like rage) to mana just because they act kind of like mana... So it shouldn't be a problem that a game set in a radically different environment would have a different name for something that acts similarly.evizaerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09836136474835816824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352155589322140093.post-69814308926149892742009-07-11T11:05:40.120-04:002009-07-11T11:05:40.120-04:00What if the traditional name doesn't fit with the theme of the game?
