Can we rebrand Standard? Call it the Eternal Realm

To better convey what it is and that Standard doesn't end like the typical seasons do.

Renaming something that has had its current name since May 2013 with the goal of having it be more intuitive and cause less confusion is highly likely to backfire.

I don't have an opinion on whether your proposed name is better in a vacuum - but I feel strongly the change should not be made. The name was chosen a dozen years ago - it's set in stone.

But why should they do that
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

Oh yeah, i remember this guy very well.

On Topic: Standard it has been, will be and shall be forever.
Not to disagree with the OP Suggestion, but like Sarno said, a change would raise questions and hurt the well known brand.
relax - it's just ones and zeros!
The Void would be a better name for standard
Should they have called Standard something else?

Yes.

Should they change the name now, after 13 years?

No.
