In WoW I had an undead priest named Fundead, always loved that one, and my Tauren named Tiramoosu. We also wanted to name our guild, "Trolly Wanka and the Ganklette Factory" but it was too long for a guild name :-(

While doing the SSO dailies, I ran into the Solereaper.
I couldn't decide whether I should feel bad for him because he's so alone or should I be worried for my shoes. I do know, however, that somewhere on the realm there's a Soulreaper, just laughing at him.

Perhaps he likes fishing.

My mother just started playing WoW. This deserves a bit of a backstory:
Now, I'm twenty-six. My mother has never really taken a direct interest in games, but has always been a sort of a back seat player. Back when we first got Zelda on the NES, my mother mapped out every single dungeon in the game on graph paper. She had me bomb every wall, push every block from every angle, push against every wall to see if I could walk through it, kill every enemy, etc. This was the most comprehensive set of maps until they released the official maps (which annoyed my mother, since she had these things laminated in a binder).
Fast forward a few years, my mother became a huge Protestant Bible thumping "praise the Lord" full blown Christian. Video games were evil for quite awhile. Especially anything with magic in it, so my favorite series at the time (Final Fantasy) was a complete no-no. I still loved games, but my mother was completely adamant on me not playing them. My uncle (he's only five years older than me) was a huge computer nerd, so I got all my fixes over at his place. DOOM (which my mother actually enjoyed the multi-player of, despite the "Satanic" aspects, though she only played it once or twice) was introduced to me, along with a few MUDs, and X-Wing. He also had an SNES, so I played a few of the earlier titles on the system. Ah, and during this time, I was homeschooled .
This is where things get especially awesome:
We moved away from Illinois, and away from the horrible influences of psycho Jesus Freaks. So, now that we didn't go to church regularly, and I was back into public school, the next secular step was the unholy INTERNET. Something you have to understand about a sheltered lifestyle where everything is evil, is once you get a taste of anything so blasphemous as the internet, you give in completely to the dark side. After just about a year, my mother unhappy with her marriage, moved out. She got involved with a few of the more interesting aspects of sexuality. I won't go into detail, but it definitely wouldn't be considered "Christian". Yes, I heard quite a bit of stuff that a mother's son should never hear about his mother. It didn't scar me though, just left me quite progressive in my attitudes about life. At least, I think. (no no.. nothing too strange, just things outside of the realms of what Christians would consider acceptable).
Well, throughout my highschool years, my parents remained seperated. They finalized this with a divorce when I was eighteen. Nothing too interesting here. My mother regained her sanity. She met a pretty cool guy. They thought about having kids, but instead, my mother decided to go with her true love.... dachshunds, lots of them. I think she currently has eight.
She got back into games a few years ago. Mainly picking up a few old style arcade games with new graphics. A lode runner clone, a few puzzle games. She got into Age of Empires, and later Starcraft. And then a friend introduced her to some Korean MMO they call DOMO (sp?). I heard about this, ranted about the evils of Korean MMO's, and suggested WoW. She had played on a trial account as the accursed Alliance, and her main problem was the lack of any socialism. After explaining the limitations of trial accounts, and telling her about all of the horrors that the Alliance have released upon the world of World of Warcraft (lol redunancy!), I convinced her to give it another shot on our RP server with a Horde character.
Expect her on 4chan about 4 weeks after she starts playing seriously
Anyways, another thing about ingame names:
Why do so many people use umlauts or accents? It's stupid because people don't remember you as well
I bet people with names like Rînörí don't get many group invites

"Hey, can you throw Rînörà a guild invite? He's a friend of mine."
"Um... Alt+1524. Nope. Alt+0252? Nope. Hmm... uh, no, guess not."

There's a few reasons for this.
1) The original, non-umlauted, non-accented name was already taken. I know a few who people who put that crap in their names just for this reason.
2) They think that umlauts and accents will make their name look more exotic.
3) They read the Lord of the Rings and saw J.R.R. Tolkien use them for his characters and think that by adding them it will make their name more fantasy-like. Espesially true on RP realms where half of the Night Elven population are roleplaying not Night Elves but Tolkien's Wood Elves.
4) They want to be a precious little unique snowflake.
5) They want to be as annoying to others as possible.
6) The umlauted or accented letter is a genuine character in whatever is their native language. I suppose this would be more of a European thing, though.

My mother rocks for various reasons.
I think I know what you meant there, but what you actually typed is pretty funny. It would be kind of funny to play a MMO built on that kind of thing - Western European Socialism vs. Communism. Well, maybe funny to pol sci geeks
Well, you can look it up, just keep in mind that the Wikipedia article has a big diagram up at the top showing exactly where the incisions are made. It's not even hiding below a Page Down keypress.
Meh, if you plan on having kids, may as well bite the bullet now.
The more you understand what your mate will be going through, the more patient you are to her whims. Being woken up at 5am after going to bed at 3, and needing to be up in another 2 hours, just to go hunt down some pineapple coconut icecream for her.
Sure, it sucks. But she'll go through worse.
Edit:
If you know what a perinium is, you'll understand the connection. It's an incision there.
Yeah... Terrible name.

When people say drood it bothers the fuck out of me. Hover over the god damned character and it spells it for you you lazy ass mother fuckers.
It's not an accident or a typo, it's deliberately used as a derogatory term. Drood = noob.
Maybe on your server. On the two servers I played "Drood" wasn't used in that way, it was just another way of saying drood - most usually used by druids themselves. Different strokes/different folks

Also, out of curiousity afterwards, I checked on Episiotomy on wowarmory.. Yeah, several of them. A few rogues, which seems appropriate enough.
I saw my wife get one of those with our first kid. Don't look it up if you don't already know. Trust me on this one.
Man, I hate it when people do this. Telling me not to look it up just makes me more curious.
I do not think the illustration was really necessary on the wikipedia page. *shudder*
Did you guys read the wiki? It basically says doctors use it to prevent all the exact problems the surgery causes. How the fuck does that work out? Hmm well to fix your broken leg, I think I'll hit it with this hammer for a bit, and see how that goes? Ahh.. I see, that's completely worse. Oh well go fuck yourself... oh and that'll be 10,000$.

My plan was to make her a bad-ass super skank.
And I'm proud to say that she is.
My other characters have more serious names, though.

Hard to make long posts like that while alt-tabbing back and forth at work.
Don't beat yourself up over it, you made an interesting post about what must have been some weird times for you
On topic:
I saw a Perinium a few days back.
You know, I read that sentence before I hit the submit button, but I decided to leave it as is.
