Danger_Dude Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 It seems to me like all the new updates have impossible to pronounce names.. like everything in the fight caves, the Toktz-whatever, and now the Mjolners or whatever they are, I find it annoying :roll: Just think it's kinda funny how everything they make now is hard to say.

tintmangbpack Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i like it. It makes it feel more like a living world. Instead of having pointless names. The names correspond to what they are. like viking names for fremmys, Ancient strange names for the tzaar. I think it improves the game Your true character is what you are like when you believe there are no repercussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger_Dude Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Heh, good point, I'd just like to be able to pronounce them instead of saying "new shield, new maul, etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongehead91 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 But saying "New maul" means a Granite maul freshly dropped from a gargoyle! :lol: Say obsidian. OBSIDIAN IS PRONOUNCABLE ENOUGH. Or, just say TzHaar-Ket-Om for maul. I pronounce that: "Tu-zarr ket om" Or Toktz-Ket-Xil: "Tockz ket zill" It gets easy sometime. I like the TzHaaren names, personally. I've stopped playing RuneScape. KoL's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohto Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Umm.. I just see it like Jagex wants to get some "touch" to the names. Toktz-Ket-Xil sounds like a name that actually could be used by some primitive tribe living near a volcano or so. And those mjolnirs actually are based on "real" weapons. In scandinavian/ german mythology Thor had his Mj̮̦̉̉lnir and he used it to make lightnings. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it improves the game I agree with that concept, but a few more "steves" and "janets" would sure make things easier to remember :) lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyhenriksen Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 some stuff from norweagian mythology: draugen is a monster (a parody is loo-draugen), and some of the people in the fremmenik quest is form norway...

SAGE Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 And those mjolnirs actually are based on "real" weapons. In scandinavian/ german mythology Thor had his Mj̮̦̉̉lnir and he used it to make lightnings. Yes and Jagex had to go out and make it a Spear, how wasteful. Would of Preffered a WarHammer so it atleast kept it's real name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'd rather these names than "Generic name, sub-category 10" This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvu16 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 i agree that some of the names should be more redily pronoucible, but i like the variety, and the many backgrounds of mithology and history that they barrow from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone_els Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Very few of the names in runecsape are just thought up out of thin air. A Mjolnir I think is the hammer of the Norse god Thor, literally translated as "thing that smashes" (dont see why they made it into a spear then lol)[like hohto said] . Obsidian, like mithril, is used in other fantasy rpgs. As for the TzHaar and their items, well, I guess those are one of the very few names in runecsape that are just thought up out of thin air :lol: The Once and Future Quest Guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter360x Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Mjolnir was the magical warhammer used by the norse god thor it could only be weilded by thor and returned to him when he called for it lol i never knew taking classics would come in handy Thanks to Goldwolflord, megadedhed, willmcdermot, Biabf, jak722, born2die, Mediumwell, xxxShade, Random, speedofsound, edtheripper, and Alduron for the awesome sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I meant "steve," "janet" and the like as names for NPCs, not weapons :) Funny nonetheless. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
