Aside from all of the other name issues surrounding
Star Wars: The Old Republic’s upcoming server merges, there was the reality that one of those servers was going to be named “The Hot Prospect.” Did it have a lore basis? Yes. Was it still the sort of name that people were either going to love or hate? Yes, but it tickled the developers, and there’s a segment of players who would love to have a server named “The Hot Prospect.”
But it’s not to be.
Why did it change? Not because the name was silly; that’s why it was kept this long. No, it was because concerns were raised about how it could be taken as a derogatory term toward players, which was reason enough to change the server’s name to “Satele Shan.” That does open up jokes about how Satele Shan is the hot prospect, but we can assume that was considered an acceptable change.
