Seeing that there is an entire section devoted to establishing and discussing the fiction of the GoI world, I was wonderingif there was a site or if someone knew everything that has already been established as canon for this world.
And on a side note what are people's names like? I'm assuming similar if not parallel to the names of the 18th-19th Century.

Whatever your AI crew is named is what the names are gunna be for people

You can check the main site. You'll find some content about the world and its story there. You can also play the original GoI for some context.

Some of those names are really weird...
-
They are all really biblical
-
Thanks for the tips, gentlemen!
I didn't even think about the AI names but now that you mention it they do seem to be biblical for the most part.

The lore is -Muse- Clara Skyborn's job, it's her baby (as Keyvias once said to me), we don't act as if we create canon, but we hope we don't interfere with it. I'm getting ready for the day where she's like: you guy's got x,y, AND z wrong... and culls hours of RP time lol.
-
Then it just becomes fan fiction. D'oh well.

On the AI names: there's a secret to where they come from. There are a few people here who ought to recognize them. Anyone? :)
You can also see a few more contemporary in-world names mentioned in the old issues of the Broadside Anchor.

If nothing else, this is an interesting collection of names...I should use it to name AI crew members or something.
Ahhh Jess! I can't believe you actually saved those names, and that I just realised it :D

And now I feel left out.
I seem to remember something about this but I have no idea what.

What if I say this? Beep boop ;)
(Or I'm totally wrong and the names are from somewhere else. But all the one's I checked matched)

Oh.
My.
Gabriel.
We did joke about that, didn't we.
-
We did :)

Made funnier by the fact that I played with an AI named Jesus. So, you banned Jesus.
-
Sir Issac Phillips is still canon in my mind.

I prefer "Jesus take the wheel" followed by the driver running off to do something stupid.

Oh, I really hope the original GoI isn't strictly adhered to. I'm going to be blunt, that game is utter shit compared to what GoI is now based on the demo. Forget it was ever there, the game is no longer indicative of the quality Muse is capable of putting out. Shred its story to pieces if it ever actually had one beyond the italics quotes you see parodied in "indie mode" for Upgrade Complete 2, start off fresh and make a completely new setting. If Muse doesn't want to rewrite that much, then they shouldn't be afraid to retcon anything and everything.

Problem is a decent amount of that was already carried over and established in the lore somehow, and I will say that while the old game can't hold it's self against what they have made now, it's still plays a role in everything here.

Yeah, what's currently in Guns of Icarus Online is all there really needs to be, so long it doesn't make any big references to Guns of Icarus like it's a game you would actually want to play they'll be alright. I'm sure they're smart enough to pretend Guns of Icarus never happened, I realize now why they don't bundle GoI with GoIO. If people played the original first they'd think GoIO was just as shitty and not give it a shot.
No offense to the devs, of course, it's a neat proof of concept and spawned this much better game. It's just horrible by Steam game standards.
