Why did CipSoft decide to change the name of dice?

Question

I was watching some depot casino interaction and I know CipSoft made the dice unable to roll on top of a depot to prevent or combat Casino bots but I started wondering, why did they change the name of dice to just die? Is there a technical reason for that? Is there anything that came out of that action relevant or useful againts bots?

Answer 1

In October 2013 the name of this item changed from Dice to Die. The reason Cipsoft gave for this name change was that 'dice' is plural and 'die' is singular (even though 'dice' is a perfectly fine singular as well, see this wiktionary quote: Dice is used for both the singular and the plural). in the past up until Summer update 2019 dice wouldn't roll if you were standing on a depot tile, you had to step aside in order to use the dice.

Came here to say this. Possibly the reason it was changed to 'die' is that 'die' is used in sometimes used in North America, although 'dice' is still the plural form of 'dice'.
