How is Luclin pronounced?

[Lagaidh]

I've always said and heard the "Italian c":

Loochlin

[Swish]

Offtopic slightly but Dutch players say "Wuu-w" instead of WoW [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Depends how drunk you are is how it is pronounced. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

same "Luc-" sound as "Lucid" imo

[Nocte]

All the devs I met and the voice-overed NPCs in EQII pronounce it "luck-lin."

[pharmakos]

a hard K sound in the middle of a word is annoying, and if thats true then i now hate this expansion even more than i already did

Loose-lin? There are two consecutive consonants in Luclin, therefore it'd be either luck-lin or look-lin. For the english language both would fall under the rules.

Not the worst butchering of an expansion I've heard tho. When Velious first came out I had a friend constantly call it "Velashious". I had no flipping clue what he was talking about, and thought he was having a stroke.

This reminded me....back around velious we had a coworker start playing who butchered a lot of the names. This was a middle aged man and he had his own lexicon going:
Potions were called "portions"
Lake of Ill Omen was "Lake of Ill-e-ome"
Cougar claw earrings were "Courage claw earrings"
And my favorite ....charisma was "chism"

He never made it to Luclin so I'm not sure how he would have translated that one.

It's funny how so many europeans know how to pronounce english words better than americans. Also it seems like we know how to spell english words better.

It's just par for the course. I had to convince some of my workmates in the US that they didn't, in fact, invent the English language. It came from England, hence "English". No really, I'm not kidding.

You left out what type of work you do. It matters. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
