As a teenager I thought Euruk sounded like how my actual name “Eric” would sound if I lived in a medieval fantasy world lol.

It was my original name in WoW years ago and 15 years later its still always my go to.

For some reason it wont let me change characters to my classic WoW character.

When I click on change character it just endlessly spins.

Anyways, I have three wow classic toons:
Eesa (Jesus in Arabic)
Ellaheh (one of my closest friend’s middle name, she and I were study buddies all throughout university)
Mohamed (my name in real life)

I’m know by berry in other games from many moons ago. Eventually I started playing wow and used names that worked with the classes as best I could that still would make sense with people calling me berry in voice chats, now discord.

Back in BF1942 days, I mostly played sniper, and my clan always joked that I laid flat like a pancake (Canadian) taking shots.
It just stuck, it both harkens to my Canadian identify, and my love for spawn camping newbz

No flame pls, this is my streaming name and i took Roland from the Halo Wars series and asked chat in variants, then Rolenth was born. I have this name on both Classic and Retail.

When leveling my rogue back in vanilla and came across the talent Seal Fate and thought, what a cool name for a rogue. When making other rogues in the pass 15 years, I always tried to get the name but it was always taken. Now it’s mine!
