Meaning of Kwadroke
Meaning of Kwadroke of “The Wired”
… and where it came from
I needed a new name for the game Everquest . I wanted something that would fit the game. The other names I used before, other people were using; “Cybertyger” & “Swedishchef“. Another name I used was too long and did not fit: “Subatomic Mayhem“. Besides I wanted something unique.
The first thing that came to mind is “Quad” as in “Quad-Damage ” from Quake 3 Arena . So I changed the spelling a bit to “Kwad”. I then needed something to end it with cause Quad had nothing to do with Everquest. For some reason “roke” came to mind. Still not sure where that came from. I googled for “kwadroke” in google and a few other search engines and found nothing. I added “of ‘The Wired’” later after seeing Serial Experiments Lain , as “the Wired ” referred to the Internet. I was kinda going for the old English names, such as “Robin of Locksley “.
I looked up “roke” in the dictionary, it means fog or mist. So actually my name means the “Four Fogs” or the “Four Fogs of the Internet”
