I would think in gaelic it would be pronoiunced Yokid-ch - is Gaelic or Irish.

Eochai is the same name as Eochaid.

I'm pretty sure Eochaid is someone/something else.

Its Gaelic, so I just imagine blowing an egg through a kazoo at a ceiling fan, and sounding that out phonetically.

That's a Douglas Adams worthy description if I've ever heard one.

Always enjoyed getting a big team together and logging in with a Force Fielder, go knocking on doors in an enclosed area or with a nearby corner, fire up (Repulsion Field?) to push the huge swarm of emerging critters into a tightly-packed killzone.

Hurricane was an acceptable alternative.

The very best place to ToT was in the warehouse district of Grandville. Door after door of level 50 spookies. AoE burned them down more massive xp for sidekicks and ToT goodies.

When I went ToT I went to the pvp arenas. If you had a team of 8 it sped up the encounters quite a lot :)
One day the Phoenix will rise again.

I always pronounced it ee oh kai.

Indeed. That fact I am not in a PPD Hardsuit Costume right now, knocking on doors and punching Spirits and Vampires in the face makes me sad.


Yes, we should be ToTing either this week or next. . . *Sniff*
We're almost there!  ;D

The RNG hates me.

I've always pronounced Eochai like "iyo kai". Hmm.

Perhaps what is most overdue is a change to your sig line.   ;)

Not that people didn't warn you.

Well, it is spelled Eochai. But, it is pronounced "Thrope Wombler Mangrove."

Noooooo... the best was the cheap motel in Peregrine Island.  Get 3 or 4 teams of 8 in there and the XP would be flying like it was hitting a fan!

Just a reminder to all the sundry busy negotiating on our behalf:  I turned 62 yairs old today, so it would be a really nice, and appreciated, gesture if something really substantial were to take place in the CoH world....which we could all get word of here on these boards.  Just a small, subtle hint....maybe....please.
