~ Spelling Mistakes, Inconsistencies, and Other Problems ~

I've been working on a Wiki for Dragon Raja for sometime. A very professional looking one at that. So it requires perfect consistencies/spelling for things such as an item database.

While working on that I noticed this game has a lot of problems in naming of items.

The Priest clothing "Cloack" should be spelt "Cloak"
The Priest clothing "Babarian Poncho" should be spelt "Barbarian Poncho" (I assume)
The Wizard clothing "Briliance Robe" should be spelt "Brilliance Robe"
The Wizard shoes "Briliance Shoes" should be spelt "Brilliance Shoes"
The Archer/Thief cap "Henter's Cap" should be spelt "Hunter's Cap" (I assume. I tried to find out who/what a "Henter" was and came up with no results unless it is an unknown person)
The food item "Pan Cake" should be spelt "Pancake"
The food item "Meetball" should be spelt "Meatball"(s)
The food item "Egg Fried" should be spelt "Fried Egg"
The food item "Chiken" should be spelt "Chicken"
The food item "Hamberger" should be spelt "Hamburger"
The farm item "Jinseng" should be spelt "Ginseng"
The Archer/Thief clothing "turbulence" should be capitalize currectly.

I found a few inconsistencies with the "Nighthawk" brand of Wizard clothing.
"Nighthawk of Robe" -shouldn't it be "Robe of"
"Night Hawk Shoes"
Is it Nighthawk or Night Hawk?

The monster "Mugina" and the skin item "Mujina's Skin"
The monster "Manscorpion" and the item "Manscorpion Armor" should be "Man-Scorpion"

There is so much more, it is crazy.

[I noticed the jp DR wiki uses the same english spelling as our version uses.]

What I want to know is, will these problems ever be fixed? (No server of Dragon Raja has ever bothered to fix these)
I know for sure this will never be a priority.

[my personal opinion]
I have to say, something like this can leave a huge impression on new players.
Especially those whos primary language is English.

Games with horrible 'engrish' can leave a very bad impression on some new players and leave them to believe this is a game of the lowest quality and that they should not expect much from it.

Back in the days 0.69 and .my, people used to joke that this game was translated into english by the chinese using a crappy web translator.
[/my personal opinion]



As for OTHER PROBLEMS
The website...

http://www.dragonraja.eu/secondaryjobs.php
Blacksmithy GM info is missing.


http://www.dragonraja.eu/primaryjobs.php
Farming GM info is incorrect.
"15 Ginsengs, 32 Crowberries & 1 million Crits"
It should be "15 Ginsengs, 35 Crowberries & 1 million Crits" in-game it requires 35 at least.

Great topic.

I believe this will help the GM that will be and/or is currently working on the grammar and spelling mistakes of all the maps and the help files.

You want to keep your "dalry" secret by not listing it? :hmpf:

Hmmm, something that I reckon that is very important and goes buy unnoticed by old players but that is a very not noob friendly error is that in vyseus when we die we go to the " edelbroy temple " even when you open the "HELP" icon in the game it shows you that to ressurect at the temple you must say " Edelbroy and cosmos and the great storm " when actually u need to say Edelweroi... If a noob dies, and there is no priest in town to ress ( Very normal, especially during war times.) The noob would probably just stand in the temple waiting for someone to spell it right for him to learn...

I think that should be fixed, since that misspelling actually affects the gameplay...

if i'm not mistaken, when u stand close to the priest in the temple and type out a wrong ress chant, the priest will say what u hv to say to get ressed.

Well, I tested what you said, just to be sure, and that didn't happen... I msged for like 5 minutes right next to the priest little misspels and the priest never said anything..

Bump! We need to keep this thread going!
My additions for now:
The 2handed double sword (98 tactic) "Anglbadal" should be spelt "Angel Blade"
I am not completely sure, but imo it should be Angel Blade and someone just played a horrible joke with translation :lol:

The 2handed double sword (12 tactic) "Rarge Blade" should be spelt "Large Blade"
