How do you pronounce Everquest stuff?

[Trollhide]

So I have always prounced Neriak as "nare EYE ack" but I started thinking to myself tonight maybe it should be "NARE ee ack".

What else can we disagree on?

LUCK-lin
KAY-nos
HAL-ass
ACK-a-non

LOOSE-LYNN
KEY-NO'S

[big_ole_jpn]

LUCK-lin - dumb, look-lin
KAY-nos - objectively correct, "quaynoss" is for illiterant retards
HAL-ass - correct
ACK-a-non - meaning non like naan bread? gay if so. it's "ack-anon", just like when shortening anonymous to "anon" you don't pronounce the same long O sound unless you are gay

ykesha = y'kesh uh. short like "y'know". if you actually say "why" in your interior monologue you should most likely be put down.

char-dock or shardock?

Nah. I live in Utah. :p and I am sure I say some things incorrectly, but after 17+ years of saying it one way I'm not changing it now. :)

Haha I actually wanted to comment on this, because for years and years I thought the word was pronounced "me-lee" until I heard it in a movie or audiobook or whatever. To this day, I still sometimes say "me-lee" in my head despite knowing the correct pronunciation.

All the same but sow (say it like the piggy), Tunare is Tunaré (two-nar-ay, blame my at the time Canadian boyfriend), and definitely would yodel, loudly & as offkey as possible.

Yeah, It's pretty interesting when it's a word in the dictionary being mispronounced lol.

He's a boss in Velketor's. People just call him Lord Bob.

(Pssst... I think that was the joke...)

[Ciroco]

There was an official EQ2 video that pronounced it "KEY-nohse". Don't care, I'm still in the Quaynohse camp.

[Nibblewitz]

But there is no "u" in Qeynos!

I was just slightly amused that the poor guy had invested effort into settling on a pronunciation for a name whose spelling he has mistaken.

Although I was intrigued to see him pronounce the 'j' as a 'y,' whereas I have always said it more like a 'j' in my own head.

Oh, I missed a letter or two? Eh, whatever. Dol-yown-ee-yar-nee-more-ihn-ar.

I am pretty sure the name is Norwegian, so the j is pronounced y (see: fjord). EQ draws on several different languages when it comes to names, so I tend to go with different pronunciations based on what I think the origin is. (EX: Nansaidh in Thurgadin is 'Nancy' - Gaelic spelling)

How they should. But I never said it should be a certain way.

[Priceline]

100 neckbeards argue about the pronunciation of MADE-UP words, [click here] you won't believe what they found out!

[mattydef]

But I never said it should be a certain way.

Then what was the point of your previous post? Were you just genuinely curious how he pronounced those specific words or what?

[utenan]

"How do you pronounce Everquest stuff?"

Strangely, in spite of EQ's record at absolutely nailing fantasy stuff, the names never really clicked with me. So I really don't bother attempting to pronounce anything.
