Hello.
In the last months i saw a new guild raising.
The Name is: Xanit K Ven (without ` )
But it is on World of Warcraft, (RP-PvP)Realm "Die Todeskrallen" (Germany), Horde side.
Looking for a meaning for this unusual Name i found (with Google) your Forum.

Xanit K`Ven was created in 2001 on the Everquest...
The Xanit i know is not that old, it was founded after the publication of the WoW-Burning Crusade addon.

Hmm still i donīt know what Xanit K`Ven means.
Why could someone take your unusual Name?
Is it your own invented Name or is it some kind of ancient spell (e.g. like veni vedi vici from Ceasar)? (if it is, what language?)

P.S I hope my poor knowledge in english language is not too confusing.

Xanit K`Ven was created by me and a couple other original members in 2001. We were in the process of combining 3 guilds from Vallon Zek and needed a new name. After much discussion, I suggested that we just make something up that sounded interesting and threw something out with some X’s and K’s. This developed into Xanit K`Ven. During the same discussions, we decided to make it an NPC name that would fit into the role-playing theme that was Everquest. The characters extensive history was created by a guild member named Divolg and is available to read by Googling our name. It is a great read if you enjoy fantasy stories. Divolg later wrote the Plane of Hate chapter of the pen and paper version of Everquest which included more about Xanit K`Ven. Many of the original XK member player names are part of that as well.

I have seen our name used in other games but has only been officially used in Everquest 1, 2 and briefly in DAOC. I believe someone took the name in DAOC after we quit. If it is being used in WoW then I am sure someone in that guild was associated with our Everquest history.
