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. 

Beware the mighty faceplant!

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.

"Over Nine Waves: The Book of Irish Legends" has a name glossary with pronunciation, and a character named Eochai Mac Erc, allegedly pronounced:  (y)och-ee mac erk.  https://books.google.com/books?id=d5LC423kbSQC&pg=PA246&lpg=PA246&dq=pronunciation+eochai+over+nine+waves&source=bl&ots=IhcQly4nPU&sig=37zIuFtM9DRrBrg9o5Ctji6RRcA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAGoVChMIuq2qkuiuyAIVBKkeCh36QwQ2#v=onepage&q=pronunciation%20eochai%20over%20nine%20waves&f=false

For whatever that's worth.   :D

I always pronounced it ee oh kai.
I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I'm working on sorting the Lore AMAs so that questions are easily found and linked: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA/Sorted Tell me what you think!

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.

Yes that's a better pronunciation of what I meant.

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.
