So honored to be a part of this great video! Thank you for including me.

[@novyxl9672]

You're the man!

[@pauld6222]

It wouldn't be a true EQ video without you, Red! Love your content.

[@gromi_1168]

Redbeardflynn my uncle John is at 2:18 haven’t seen him 13 years

[@easyeddie2377]

I've always placed the Ow in SoW!

[@novyxl9672]

Hearing that intro music signals the best part of my week

[@Laber77]

WTF... Xegony / Oxygen? Rathe /Earth, E'ci / Ice , Tunare/Nature???

[@EverQuestShow]

Looking for more EQ Anagrams? There are LOTS! everquestshow.com/2019/08/10/qeynos-sonyeq-and-other-eq-anagrams/

[@sonyabyrd4288]

As someone that played a Shaman/Druid in EQ in 1999 and went to EQ2 when it released; it will always and forever be pronounced as SEW. :) Such a beautiful trip down memory lane.

[@joannamurakami908]

Brought back good memories of discussing how to pronounce "Qeynos" in EverQuest chat, back in the early 2000's. ("SoW", as well!) ❤ Then there's names like, "Fippy", "Chief Goonda", and "Boomba", that are just... well. ❤ Classic discussion. 😉

[@Cornerboy73]

This was a lot of fun, thanks everyone 😄. Oh, and Fading, I was on the same page with you on the pronunciations. I have to admit though - after all these years, it never once occurred to me that most of the names for the gods were anagrams. I guess this old game still has some surprises for me LOL !

[@BazgrimTV]

Incredible job! This was so much fun! Thanks for including me :)

[@fals2th]

Never stop this show man, the views cannot compare to the nostalgia you create for us old folks

[@mehdikarbasi3178]

EverQuest was some of the happiest times I have ever had in my life. I miss 1999-2001.

[@rstewart7633]

Keep up the good work and thanks for including me in some of the snippets!

[@badgaf21]

I never realized that the God's names were anagrams of what they represent. Glad to know that after so many years!

[@dfae5638]

i am so happy to be part of this :) thanks for including me :D it was fun

[@Morraak]

I didn't know the gods names were anagrams of what they represented, interesting!

[@EricCharnesky]

As a druid main, I can confirm it is sow, not sew

[@mikecurrie5934]

Thank you Kitt for the show as always, Darkwarlord!

[@domwatts8314]

I am soaking in all the nostalgia but I logged back in early last year and it just felt sad and melancholy with a capped flist and 0 people on but me - a 54 yr old woman who played EQ then went to EQ2 until Age of Discovery when I left like pretty much everyone on my server! LOL You could think about covering people like my buddy Ixnay who created EQFlames and with Sheisty's help, they moved the community at one point and had many of the Dev's ears. Plus all the crazy things that went on in the forums with devs, wars with Cracatoa and so many other things. So many more voices were in the EQ/2 community at one point and it is sad so much was lost over the years but it is great to see you covering it again! BTW, at one point there were several small personal sites people had posted EQ help and walkthroughs on, before Geocities took them all down. Man, so many good times calling people at 3am to World First something and then pulling over and over until you got it! Fabulous times I miss!

[@BrellCover]

Fun episode! I am not a native English speaker but I loved to find out the pronunciation for all those deities, NPCs and zones. And, Discord has the most "mysterious" pronunciation.🤣

[@swordmonkey6635]

The easy way for me to remember the right way to say "Qeynos" is the fact that the original creators got it from spelling "Sony EQ" backwards, so the "e" is long and the "q" is hard like a "k": Kee-nose" The pronunciation hill I will die on is how to say "Innoruuk". I've heard npcs in game say "In-or-ruk", but I say EEN-OR-RUKE.

[@sweetyd]

Thanks Fading, another great episode! Love it!

[@FEV369]

Man, if EQ had the backing and talent, it could be a full on brand, not just a nostalgia drive. How is there not an EQ ap game where the combat is much better, but all the zones are characters look old school, but more poly. Kills me...

[@reekahstinks]

Been thinking this for years

[@lordnurgle4248]

What a great special! Thanks for putting so much time and love into these videos!

[@MrVindler]

Thanks for the memories! Vindler Stormraven (Realm of Valor (Mithaniel Marr...that's how long it's been!))

[@gromi_1168]

2:18 is my uncle John that’s awesome miss you man haven’t seen you in 13 years

[@brianross9926]

That made me smile after fumbling over some of those pronunciations for years!

[@GraveyardTricks]

The guy with the ventriloquist doll on his lap was a bit odd

[@iam4431]

I started playing EQ in 99 Talon Zek. It was such a groundbreaking game when it came out. I miss old school mmo games like this.

[@RijackiTorment]

One of the fun things at Fan Faire was hearing the pronunciations especially with different regional accents added. ;-P

[@mewzaq]

This is sooo good!

[@TheCrappieReports]

Keep em coming Fading, it's great to see staff and players in the video, EQ forever...

[@yoplaitmajor]

😅 Fun episode!

[@cynaminstick6693]

Rhymes with Cow!

[@EsrohNchainS]

So fun!!!

[@Lineater]

Great idea! I feel dumb for never picking up on all those anagrams. Not even E'ci. OOF.

[@harmonydesroches]

Phew, this hit me right in the nostalgia!!

[@DenMum]

There's a fun EQ2-only one that was added with Tinkerfest back in 2017 (and returns every Tinkerfest for a public quest). . "Bhoughbh Bhildur" - get a gaelic pronunciation going and it is "Bhu - hob - uh - huh Builder", which when said fast is ... Bob

[@I2ed3ye]

My mind just exploded learning the anagrams

[@bdetert82]

All of my eq friends say SOW as SA-OW, I was surprised by everyone in the video saying sewing SOW. The english language is all over the place. It is just like the two ways people say Shaman both are correct.

[@skewerz]

Najena = Nuh Hay Nuh

[@ttobeyyt]

Great video! Holly is going to kill me.

[@alutra]

Fun show!! Thank you 😊

[@DD-ge6ef]

Good stuff! more EQ!

[@Solkan55]

This was amazing, thanks!

[@aaronbisnett]

SO good! Thanks for the hard work! 😀

[@leedunning1825]

I never get tired of your theme song. Picks me up every time I hear it. And I took have always pronounced SOW like 🐖.

[@MrCoddleshire]

This was great! It didn't answer my burning quest of how you even pronounce Ssraeshza Temple but there were some good ones like Ykesha.

[@DenMum]

SHH-ray-za :D

[@EverQuestShow]

I believe I pronounce it in the Top 10 expansions episode. SRAY SHA...

[@EverQuestShow]

[@MrCoddleshire]

@@EverQuestShow I always pronounced it Sash ray shesha lol, but its interesting to hear how everyone comes up with the pronunciation for these words.

[@urzgaming8742]

Sow sounds like Cow, nuff said.

[@nl817]

The background music is a bit too loud when trying to hear people pronounce things

[@Kiroc65]

Since 1999 I have always said Sow rhymes Cow! 😂

[@Diasuko]

great great great)

[@SoyAntonioGaming]

I pronounce "SoW" like the sov in "sovereign" but with a very short O.

[@zoro8927]

I always said it: So / Kay-nos / Lucklin / Vel-E-us / Nah-jen-uh / Ya-kesh-uh / La-senium / Zeb / Zeg-o-knee / 2-nair / Rayth / Emarr / Kwel-E-ohs / Drih-nahl

[@bigrobgiolas1866]

Names of my 20s. I miss simpler times of MMOs and Ever Crack. E'ci 4 Life

[@errollleggo447]

Smiled the whole way through this video. Subbed. Shoutout to Redbeardflynn who I am subbed to also.

[@SirTwomo]

I feel like I watched this before, ages ago?

[@iugoeswest]

Hahaha! So good!

[@MrMauistang66]

They way you say SoW is definitely right…. But it doesn’t change the fact that I have always and will always say “so” 😂

[@PMabq]

I got around the pronunciation by saying "please gimma GOFAST!"

[@NicholasLayton]

Should have asked them how to pronounce Doljonijiarnimorinar

[@yeroca]

Pretty clear some of the devs/creators had never seen these names before. That's what you get when the code is 24 years old, and has seen a lot of people come and go.

[@soulserver127]

I really miss Brasse :'( I really do hope she is doing well!

[@zorgonox8479]

I wish I remembered which one - but at a Fan Faire in Vegas, a developer discussing Luclin, not only said "Luck-lin" but then said, "And yes, that is how it is pronounced. I named it." So.....I suppose if anyone knows who named it, that's who told us. I'm also curious..... those who pronounce it "Fi-rona" ......why do lose the second "i"? It's in the spelling, "Firiona"...

[@stabgod]

Can’t believe no one asked how to pronounce Doljonijiarnimorinar

[@pathtoeternity]

Interesting that some people don't pronounce the S in Looselin.

[@discord37]

So I was right on most of them back in the day :)

[@jeremiahcomer]

Firiona Vie. Does it rhyme with pie, pay, or pea?

[@EverQuestShow]

What's funny is I've ALWAYS pronounced it FEAR-EE-OH-NA VEEE.... However, much later in life, I now believe that it was probably meant as FEAR-EE-OH-NA VYE.

[@DenMum]

@@EverQuestShow Even among the dev team, there are Vee's and Vye's ... I've always leaned towards Vee, myself. :)

[@swingjaja]

That was a good one haha

[@granthinkle6713]

Haha, this is great

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

How can people have a hard time pronouncing things with very few vowels?! ;)

[@badlandskid]

Probably a lot like southern vs northern accents…. Or Ausie vs States

[@michaelmorton6566]

we need a eq 3 or a remake

[@johnconforti7683]

oddly enough for SOW I always just say the letters lol S.O.W. same with KEI K.E.I.

[@johnconforti7683]

my I even messed that up lmao

[@Bleys0072]

It's SoW, not SoW.

[@EverQuestShow]

That clears it up! Hehe.

[@NicholasLayton]

Why everyone pretending there's no W in SoW?

[@toastsniffer187]

and sew is sow

[@deaconjasonaiello6128]

Nope. "SoW" is pronounced based on what it represents. Fight me. "SoW 4 CR" was my life for many years.

[@jeff2758]

[@jollyruthless8219]

sow = cow why? well Spirt of the wolf has more to do with another animal "cow" then it does attching two pieices of cloth together. Soe is word yes not it is not how you say SoW.
