Watch out for gazebos too.

I want to know about the words that Turbine pretends to not know.

Spell Penetration is a dirty word? And that one House D quest (forget which one because it makes no sense to be considered dirty).

And I noticed today that Allah is a dirty word in DDO. Go figure. God, Elohim, Adonai and Yahweh are not considered dirty words, though, so Turbine either hates Islam or is afraid of it. Not sure which.

Whaddya mean new? Any serious gamer confronted with the word 'ziggurat' finds the word 'vertigo' flashing in his brain a milisecond later.

Ah the memories...

If you are talking about their ingame censor filter, it probably isn't them that decided which words to filter. They seem to be using the same filter list that many other MMOs use.

And next time, we explore the Pagoda

I wants me a Yurt.

[LordMond]

Don't forget "miasma" and "fecundity".

[PentegarnDarras]

Don't forget "miasma" and "fecundity".

...and "Puissance".

That one still make me laugh (and yes I did have to look it up!)

[dunklezhan]

Are we doing good words? "moist" is a great word.

Blackmail is an ugly word. But its not as ugly as myxomatosis.

But the only word I've found in DDO that I actually didn't know before is 'zerg'.

[LordMond]

...and "Puissance".

I would not have know that word had I not played PnP.

Wasn't the +1 STR tome called "Manual Of Puissant Skill At Arms"?

[AyumiAmakusa]

Turbine either hates Islam or is afraid of it.

Is afraid of it. Or rather, the extremists.

[bigolbear]

i believe i can trump all previous words with the folowing:

coterminious

and as apoint i think axiomatic warrants a mention

I find it hard to believe that any sort of D&D fan wouldn't have been exposed to the word Ziggurat until Turbine came along - White Plume Mountain featured one prominently. And, let's face it, if you've never done the 'S' series, then you aren't really a D&D enthusiast.
