Heilang is Heilang.

Welcome to the Resistance.  This battle against PA may take years, so, settle in, and best of luck!

This is like if someone told me I had to call my dog something else now because a group of dog owners somewhere else decided that they don't like my dog's name. I like my Doggo's name, that name is Heilang. Heuklang does not spark joy. 

Perhaps not everything is as it seems....

We knew very little about Heilang at all since 2016.... We knew he was a black beast...and that Tamer was from the land of Haso.

What I always found interesting was that some of tamers skills look similar to ink splashes; and that one skill Heilang does kinda look "inky"...

(2016)

Who knows what stories might unfold as our adventures continue.... But what is certain, is the Love for Heilang / Heuklang.....  

Goodness, talk about perpetuating and supporting xenophobia. PA you should be ashamed of yourself, it's just a name. You and those that complained about the old name need to wake up to themselves.

You can't just rename a person's dog. O.o

Bring him back :C

I am seeing a lot of familiar people in here who don't play tamer but still support trying to get our dogs name back, Thank you very much!

Heilang Gang

It's not xenophobia. Korean culture has a long history of being dominated by Chinese culture. Most Asian cultures do, and most of the West doesn't know or care about the differences between them. PA changed the name of Heilang because that is the Chinese name for a mythical beast both cultures share an origin for, but both cultures have different folklore around. Korean players wanted to see their culture represented more in a game that is made by a Korean company. This happened at a time when China is trying to push its weight around more in the region,, and is actively eradicating some cultures. Some are making an effort to disentangle their cultural identities from China so they are seen as unique, and not just a subculture of China. 

Tamer comes from LomL, a land based on Korean culture and sort of a love letter to it by the devs. The name change reflects that. 

The name change does nothing to you, the players from other regions. It doesn't change the identity of the beast for you, it's function in game. If you want to call it heilang, nobody is stopping you. 

I would argue that the demand to change the name back to Heilang despite the cultural and historical reasons for it are ignorant, ill-informed, and deliberately disrespectful to the cultural identity and heritage of both the company and KR players.
