I've just noticed that you've misspelt one of the higher level's names. The only reason I mention this is that it's Cyrillic (I think?) which means it's pronounced completely differently to how you'd expect based on similar looking latin letters. Epyck should be spelt Брукс (cyrillic letters: be er u ka es) and according to the internet is pronounced something like "Brooks". Of course, I might be completely wrong. I still haven't got round to selecting my next batch screenshots for you, but I'll definitely do that soon! PS I just noticed he's level 83 now too, so grats to him Edit: and I totally think this topic should be stickied btw I agree with you on the kyrillic letters part. But you got the order of them mixed up. It should be: Brusk

Maybe I could have worded my post a little better, but that reversal of the к and с is intentional. eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/goldrinn/Брукс/advancedTo clarify: 1) E should be Б and k should be к 2) ck should be кс If you were aware of the letter ordering and my pronunciation is still wrong, then I'll defer to your judgement.

You are ever so right I had them mixed up. I might need new glasses And I totally agree Брукс = Bruks [Brooks] as the best approximation. My Russian is quite rusty. I was charmed by Dr. Zhivago many years ago, and taught myself to read and write cyrillic letters and speak an atrocious, but useful Russian. I even kept my diary and wrote poems in cyrillic handwriting and can no longer read what I wrote then.

I know, but I have a simple keyboard and simple mind..so I used the closest I could..I don't know all the fancy keys..so it was misspelled on purpose but not either...

Should I just call him the "Russian Area Dude" ? I know a little French but am aware that their spellings mean other than what is there.. It's all Greek to me...

When I was typing his name I just copy pasted, would that work for you too? I guess Брукс could be approximated to Bpykc? (although apparently B is also a different letter) My main point was that the order of the c and k matters due to their pronunciation. Looking at my posts proboards seems to automatically change the letters to:
Брукс Edit: and I hope you forgive my pedantry, it's not really important that you get it right, I just know I'd be a bit annoyed if my character's name was misspelt

To make up for the slight derailment of this topic I am totally going to send screenshots today, hopefully in 15 minutes.
