Where exactly did the name "Cotonti" come from? Is it just a made up name from some of the devs? Or does it actually mean somthing?

The idea for the name came from a chat between myself and Kilandor. I was giving him suggestions that still had a .com version available and this one stuck the most.

It was immediately registered afterwards, so as you can see from the whois of the domain, the brainstorming conversation took place in April of 2008.

So now you know :)

I think the name is quite good, as it doesn't contain any characters or subphrases that can't be pronounced in some languages (such as 'g', 'h', 'ch'), which makes it good for international use.

LDU means Land down under (Australia).
Seditio was speculated to be "second edition" but was confirmed incorrect by the maker.

Land Down Under comes from a song by Men at Work. Hence also the slogan that was used on Neocrome.net for a long time: 'Can't you hear the thunder?'

Although I'm not sure, Seditio might come from sedition, which means rebellion.

Seditio means rebel but really it only caused rebels, not a rebel particularly itself.
