OK. In this case I think we need to explain the joke. He's not giving you another misspelling of D'Alessio. Delissio is a brand of frozen pizza bought at the grocery store and the line is a play on the TV commercial for Dejorno (SP?).

Well I got it!

Might just be.

Yeah, that maybe a reason, too. Although Lion's Arch = "Löwenstein" in the german version, which means Lionstone (hmm wasn't this again a Black Isle Rpg?).

Well, first of all, I don't see what you're getting so worked up about.


Secondly, you're complaint about "Ventari's Dell" is funny, because if you'd played during the beta, you'd know that's what it used to be called. They changed it to "Refuge" later...

By reading this thread and recognising myself in the mistyping of quests and places and names, i really see a great feature request in this.

tab completion of quest names, place names and perhaps friends list names.

Actually, like Ventari's, Lion's Arch is another one that has had a history of many, many name changes. You can usually tell how long someone has been involved with/known about Guild Wars by what they refer to the city as. There are still some people who adamantly cling to the name Hakewood, and maybe even a few that might remember it as Siren's Cove.
Woah woah woah woah... I started at WPE and even then it was Lion's Arch. Exactly when was it anything else?

I can't spell my own name most of the time in-game, so I have some sympathy. I'm pretty sure I've told someone "get the quest at Dragnet's Forge."

Like Mr. T, I pity the fool, because the fool is me.

I have called Lions Arch, Lions Den quite a few times, but that is because I come from DAoC and there is a place called Lions Den, so I at least have a reason

LOL half the time I can't even REMEMBER which character I'm playing. Now if that doesn't make one feel like a moron, nothing does. O.o
