Is Rand just short for Random or this has some other -obscure- meaning? :p

Random - i hope...

since the map it's based on is random, I'd think it is definitely the short for random. Or it could be a new word... ;)

the main street of Rand looks really interesting. Did I spot a shop of Gucci and a Mc Donald's ?

RAND = Really Awesome New Development?
RAND = Red, And Not Dead?
RAND = Rubbish Around Ned's Dreidel?

Or something else? :D

I could tell you the real meaning but then I'd have to kill you.

All these "previews" are just research & development for the next RFC update. Hence "RFC R an D".

the damage done by RFC to the human brain is now pretty evidently shown in this thread :lol:

RFC: Objectivist edition.

It's a tribune to Rand Al'Thor of course! My hero :-D
