This may have been posted somewhere before but I couldn't find it anywhere.
So I decided to search registered domain names containing the word "Planetside" in hopes of sniffing out some info and I came across this... http://whois.sc/planetsidex.com So apparently the domain name planetsidex.com was registered by sony in september of last year. I don't know if I like this as a game title, but they must have registered it for a reason. UPDATE 3/13 - looks like SOE also registered the domain name planetsidewarfare.com on 2/4/11 Last edited by morf; 2011-03-13 at 10:20 PM. |

Devs and stuff usually trademark a bunch of names/domain names when they are hiding a title of a game, for example, for pokemon black/white they had also trademarked colors like pokemon maroon and turquoise etc
EDIT: planetside X seems alittle to cliche to be the real name Last edited by krnasaur; 2011-03-08 at 09:09 PM. |

They were probably using it as a project name. Project X is a common name for projects that are in early development (not just in video games) but have no official name yet. Just in case they got so attached to it or would use the name in public they likely registered the domain anyway.
They probably called it something a little more unique later for use in public announcements (Planetside Next) because Planetside X sounds shit :P |

Actually anti cybersquatting laws have given private arbitrators the authority to yank your domain away if it contains someone else's trademark. udrp complaints are really really cheap and if you aren't a complete dumbass you probably don't need a lawyer.
