Interestingly Useless Information.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I go over to the WoW Armory and type in made up words/names just to see if anything pops up. Wondered if anyone else did the same now and then.

Here are some of my finds,

OTAVA
There are fourteen characters in the whole of WoW with the name Otava.
Seven are Horde, sever are Alliance.
Ten of them are male characters.
Ten druids, two warlocks, a mage and a priest.
Only two of them have reached lvl 85, one from each faction.
Only one is lvl one.
There are no guilds named Otava.

MASTROK
There are four characters in the whole of WoW with the name Mastrok.
Three are Horde.
They are all male.
The highest is lvl 53, the lowest is lvl 1
There are no guilds named Mastrok.

There are no characters called Clawtella.
There are no characters called Xeies.
There are no characters called Zaprek.
There is one character in all of WoW called Yulthi.
There are 59 characters called Grolly.

Yes I am bored.

What did YOU find?

I decided to try a random letter generator to make 6 letter sequences. Of the ones that actually had enough vowels to be words:

Mikeoy: three, all under level 20
Eodami, one level 1 (I like this one)
over a dozen with no hits, my favorite of which was Uzohta

I was surprised to see 11 toons had my real life surname... which is not a very common word. Two of those toons are mine but still,

Well, considering Otava is the Finnish name of the constellation Big Dipper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dipper) and is also a well-known book publisher I'm not really surprised :D

yes, I can definitely see how "Epidydimitis has given you Blood Fever" could work...
