Still not a fan of pheonix as the name, because it makes it sound like an aerial focused game. If not Legion then Rebirth or Immortal Soldiers or Reincarnation or The Undying (this one I like), something that doesn't imply we'll be stuck piloting something.
Good video none the less.
Phoenix doesn't imply an aerial focus so much, at least I feel, as a cycle or perhaps the 'rebirth of something'.
For a symbol of a revitalized game, hopefully a set of lore changes to allow us more freedom, and purely for aesthetics we couldn't go far wrong.
I wish I had artistic talent because if I did I'd go off and create a bit of promotional art.

FPS is the kind of gameplay we play in, we are an FPS also with RPG elements. I disagree with metalock because I believe that MMOs should not limit players. In other words there is no Lore reason to have metalocks. When we add something it should be based on lore as well as when we balance something.
Little background? Are you kidding me.
Have you tried to read the History of the Amarr Empire. There are four EVElopedia pages of it from the pre-history through to the current era. Information of the continents is explained including the arrangement of Amarr Island, Assimia, Ves-Udor, Cas-Udor, and Kathis in the eastern hemisphere.
That's one of four main factions..... four of however many total factions..... existing within 7000 actual systems many of which have their own histories both CCP created and player created.

I'm fairly certain anyone who thinks DUST is an MMO hasn't played an MMO
It wishes it could be but it's hardly Massively Multiplayer.

Cool, a debate why would you define this game as an MMO first, and a first person shooter second? I personally agree that in Dust's current state that it is primarily a FPS, with MMO elements.
Let me put this topic in another light. What keeps you playing Dust? The FPS aspect, or the MMO aspect?
The social aspect. The people I've met playing Dust trump the game play anyday.

It's might fall under MMO but the focal point has always been FPS. Our role isn't to be farmers, miners, manufactures, etc... Our role is to be mercenaries, everything else is basically tacked on to separate it from Battlefield and CoD.
If you took the FPS out of Dust and replaced it with anything else, it wouldn't be Dust anymore because we were meant to be the boots on the ground, meant to secure planets for the highest bidder.
Except we don't do that... no one has ever done that.

Best aspect of that whole trailer is that subtle overlay of the Amarr Assault trailing dust/ash over the subjects.
The cut was quite artfully done too.
