Feedback from a new player

I want to thank the developers of OD that has created such a great game. I just wanted to humbly say that I'm very impressed!
I discovered OD about a week ago, and has been craving to play it ever since. I experience the gameplay as very smooth and the game itself very satisfying to play. Even as the AI crush me every single game, I still want to start over again and again and again. As a very picky gamer, this is extremely rare for me, so as you may understand from the above, I'm very excited about it!
I want to make a proposition that I'm probably in no position to make, but what the heck. It is in regard to the name, OpenDungeons, or more spesifically, the 'Open'-part. In my experience, people tend to have a preconception that games that start with the word 'Open' generally sucks. And I believe that they are mostly right about this too! I'm afraid that by putting OPEN in the name, lots of potential new players will get turned off before they even try it and discover its greatness. My opinion is that OpenDungeons is a rock solid game that deserves serious attention! I therefore suggest renaming the game from "OpenDungeons" to just "Dungeons". Taste it for a while before dismissing it!
I sincerely hope my suggestion does not offend (like "who the heck does this guy think he is, strolling along, suggesting a new name for the project I've/we've been working so hard on for such a long time"). To me personally, the name doesn't need to change at all. I will still play it and love it.
So to round off I say keep at it, new name or not! And again, thank you for creating such a lovely game. I will follow the further progress with great interest!
