    I noticed a long time ago that everyone produces item and town names differently. Here are how I pronounce some and wanted to know how you pronounce them, as well as reply with other words that people mix up.

    reg-Comes from reagent(re-agent), but I pronounce it reg(like regular). Some people say REEJ.

    Ocllo-I have always said OCK-LOW, but know some reference it as OCHELLO.

    Demon/damon/daemon/deamon. I've always pronounced it demon.

    Wait so is it MINE-OCK or MINH-OCK?

    It better be MINE-OCK because it is a mining city. If not, I've been wrong for over a decade.

    Also, Blaise=Blaze for those wondering. Had him clarify that for me in the past.

    Thanks Lando.

    I say "mih-nock" for Minoc
    I say "jell-um" for Jhelom
    I say "Ock-low" for Occlo
    I say "Scare-uh Bray" for Skara Brae
    I say "New Jell-um" for Nujel'm
    I say "Pap-oo-ah" for Papua
    I say "Del-oo-cha" for Delucia
    I say "Fell-oo-cha" for Felucca
    I say Regs because people say regs but I do prefer saying reagents however erudite it may be.
    I say "day-mon" if there's an A in daemon, otherwise I say "de-mon"
    I say BRING THAT MOFUGGIN HYPE TRAIN for GideonJura

    Also, I say "sih-jil" for sigil, not seagull, seagill or otherwise.

    When I was very young, I didn't really know what "fatigued" was and I pronounced it like "Fat-EE-Geewed". Lol!

    Even close to 10 years later I still say, "Yo I'm Fat-EE-Geewed, pass me a red pot!", to my bros mid fight sometimes.

    My older brother would laugh and act like fatigued ("Fat-EE-Geewed") was a french term that has not been given a meaning.

    I started playing very young also, and pronounced it exactly the same way. Not until years later when I started playing Free shards did I realize how to actually pronounce it.

    There are a few that I have heard in teamspeak or vent... Double Vision would say Reg-nats or something similar for reagents, when it is clearly Re-Agents...

    Ingot = Een-Got for me but DV would say Ig-Nat, same problem as above.
    Rune = Roon for me, but I also think DV would say Ruin.
    Minoc = My-Knock for me

    I'm with you. Definitely OH-KLO.

    Litch, rhyming with witch.

    Why-vern rhyming with fry-burn.

    I pronounce everything like Blaise does and that scares me. Sigil is also an actual word so please don't use the hard G, it sounds less wizardly anyway.
