Breakfast Topic: Pick a title, any title
While doing my nightly pass through my RSS reader (even we bloggers read dozens of blogs per night, blogging is our lifeblood), I came across a fun little post from Aspect of the Hare. If you could give your character any title you wanted, what would it be?They don't mean picking from what's available via achievements or quests, but what would you make up to give yourself? I asked this question to the WoW Insider HQ before writing this up to see what the gang would want, and Michael Sacco was the first to chime in. His joke answer was 'Ancient Chinese Wizard' as a nod to Zhang Bao, a character made infamous by the Dynasty Warriors series. Being a Shaman, he's pretty good at the whole Thunderstorm spiel. His more serious answer was Stormcaller. That's a pretty good one, I think!
Personally, I'd kill a bunny to bring the Lionhearted title back in some form. My Paladin is a diehard Alliance/Human supporter, originally from Lordaeron and now flying the banner of Stormwind. My FlagRSP description on my Paladin has actually had 'the Lionhearted' listed as a title for a good two years now. I was immensely excited when I saw that the title might be possible to get when achievements were first implemented in the Wrath of the Lich King beta, but it was pulled and never made it live. I'd love to see it come back somehow.
Matt Low (aka Matticus) is a fan of the title 'Almighty.' That would be pretty cool for a Priestly character I suppose, but I'm particularly fond of 'the Hallowed' for my Priest.
How about you guys, what would you like to see? Joke titles, serious titles, it's all fair game here. Are you more of an Ancient Chinese Wizard sort of person, or more of a Lionhearted? Or are you like Aspect of the Hare's twitterati, looking for something like 'of the Violet Eye or 'the Black'?

Josho of the Silver Hand! :D Although I like 'of Lordaeron' better.
Deadly. Off. Topic. Mar 5th 2009 10:43AM
I'd like Of Lordaeron for my pally as well. I pictured her as someone with connections to that place so it would be awesome to have.
Kendras Mar 5th 2009 10:54AM
Josh, we've been discussing this for months now haven't we? Create-A-Title etc. If only...
Kalear the Bladesinger please... Still thinking up something for Kendras and the others.

Chieftan would be the title of my choice.
As I'm a Tauren guild leader and we use a ranking system with a Tauren theme to it.

Chieftain is definately one I would like to have as well.
Captain is also sorely missing, I think.
Captain, as in pirate business, or just the captain of a ship...
Captain, as in an army captain, the captain of a guard, or the likes...
And it just sounds great :)
Nindle Mar 5th 2009 8:07AM
Nindle, The First!
in all seriousness though..
Captain Nindle (Without the long goblin hating grind)
elchrisio Mar 5th 2009 8:07AM
im a rogue so 'the shadow master' or the blade or something coll and stereotypical like that, class specific titles ftw
ari Mar 5th 2009 8:07AM
i would want the title Elemental Lord (character name)
that would be a great title for a elemental shaman...like me :)
Kirtan Mar 5th 2009 8:07AM
the Shaman King! =D Tho that's a bit overkill. XP Envoy of Elements maybe.
George Mar 5th 2009 12:30PM
We had a Shaman on my former guild that used to self-title him "The Shaman King". Diablero was his name, and his 'exploits' were kind of a running joke a la Chuck Norris, e.g.:
See that big vortex in the map that is now called "The Maelstrom"? Yep, Diablero spat in there.
Diablero and Chuck Norris once fought. When their blades touched the ground, The Sundering was formed...
ad nauseam.

I was always a big fan of Battlemage being a mage myself.
Othor_NL Mar 5th 2009 8:08AM
I would love the title Darkbane for my Holy Paladin
Paksenarrion Mar 5th 2009 8:09AM
Paksenarrion, Redeemed Scarlet Paladin.
I dont really RP, but I like the idea of having once being a member of the Scarlet Crusade and finding my way out of it.
Dristan Mar 5th 2009 12:12PM
Love the name! Been a while since I read those books.
D Mar 5th 2009 9:30AM
I'd love for my shaman to have a "Farseer" title.
Neyssa Mar 5th 2009 8:09AM
Goddess for my warlock :)

Aggrajag Mar 5th 2009 8:10AM
For my rogue "the invisible"
Mimzy Mar 5th 2009 8:10AM
... of the Burning Legion
No really! I wants that title! Unless it meant I couldn't go into any major city anymore, then I'd have to go for 'the Soul Stealer'
Talon Mar 5th 2009 8:10AM
either archdruid, or the bear puncher.
Lanth Mar 5th 2009 8:12AM
I'm surprised "Dragon Slayer" isn't already in-game. Make it Onyxia, Nefarian, Azuregos, 4 Dragons of Nightmare, Nightbane, Kalecgos, Felmyst, Saltharion and Malygos so it isn't too easy.
