I Spoke Demonic?
Posted on July 14, 2008 under Fun, Game Mechanics | No CommentWorld of Warcraft is an ever-changing game. While reading this post, keep the date it was written in mind—changes may have occurred since then!
[Edit: Mystery solved, answer at the end of the post!]
There is something strange about this screenshot, and it’s not just that Alliance practically steamrolled the horde in Arathi Basin (though that is rare). Check out the chat box.
I said “[Demonic] archim”? I meant to type “bahaha” after killing a particulary nasty Warlock with a fellow defender of the Stables. At first glance, all I saw was the “archim” and thought my hands weren’t on the home row, and said such in /say. But then, I realized, that wouldn’t have come out “archim” anyway, and also, I spoke Demonic?
The majority of the people who saw this probably thought, “Oh, he typed ‘/s [Demonic] archim’.” But, I didn’t. At least, I didn’t think I did. I even hit enter to bring up the chat line, then alt+up a few times to check what I typed:
So what happened? What was it that made me speak in Demonic? I am, after all, only a Night Elf Hunter.
[Edit] Thanks to my good friend Marcelo for pointing me to http://www.wowwiki.com/Curse_of_Tongues:
Actually causes the target to speak Demonic in emotes and chat. A CM on Blizzard’s official forums joked on how coders spent time coding this curse to do just that.
