Default 'Emperor Crush' was named 'Emporer Crush' pre-Kunark

Fix for this seems to have gone in around the time of Kunark launch, since the fictiousname9 dumps have the correct spelling.

Pre-Kunark though, his name was 'Emporer Crush'.

Screenshot for proof:

There are conflicting spellings throughout the newsgroups and even on Everlore. I think everyone was really confused. Screenshot is hard proof though.

Newsgroups have more on this. All the orcs hail text should spell it like "Emporer" too until it is fixed. Presumably they fixed it all at the same time:

Has anybody noticed that it is empOREr cruch and not empEROr crush. The
stupid orcs hail empOREr crush to. I turned that in as a bug.

'an emporer fae drake' was misspelled too. Presumably these misspellings were both still active as of July 2000.

Operating assumption at the moment is these misspellings were all fixed in this patch:

Miscellaneous

We've addressed a lot of spelling and grammatical errors over the past few weeks. For example we have corrected all misspellings of "deity" in messages to the player, changed Cantana to Cantata and others.

Nope I'm wrong. He had his spelling fixed no later than September 2000. Makes sense since it matches the fictiousname9 dumps.

I was thinking of a summer patch that fixed spelling errors as above but I got the year wrong.

It's this one:

Miscellaneous Changes/Fixes

- Corrected many, many, MANY spelling and grammar errors in the world.

I believe it was fixed in this patch in June 2000, it would line up with the terminus ante quem of that September screenshot.
