French 1.11 patch notes - ego trip?

Ukerric · 05-23-2006, 01:57 AM

Although these don't impact me at all (I wouldn't touch a french client with a 10-feet pole), I do sometimes look at the patch notes, just to see the translation part and the silliness therein.

This one struck me:

Quote:

Tigule et Foror deviennent Aguilor et Dagharn.

("Tigule and Foror become Aguilor and Dagharn")

Daghorn and Aguilar are the two french community managers. Sounds like they wanted to leave a mark, and hijacked the Tigule & Foror fame. Which led to cackling sounds in some forums, asking when Daghorn last killed a dragon, to be the author of a Dragonslayer Compendium.

Hmmm, did they ask first? Funnily enough, the german client doesn't seem to have his CM doing the same...

The french are the best people in the world; For me to poop on!

Do you know what "Tigule and Foror" means for 95% of WoW playerbase (including french community)? Simply jack and shit. So who cares about changing those name to something that actually means something for french players?

Tigule + Foror = Jean Reno + Alizze???

I'm french and i think aguilar is an egocentric fucking moron, and he just proved it once again.

Oh yeah and fuck french servers..simply for the fact that here gaming is considered more like a kiddie habit, and those servers are filled with 12-13 yo cretins.

I'm glad i can play on an english speaking one.

That Aguilor and Dagharn thing is pure bullshit. The Tigule and Foror easter egg is part of the game's lore. I am sure this will upset old EQ french players too.

Je suis très dérangé à ce changement. Pain, fromage, et reddition !
