Just to settle this once and for all:

Everquest eventually introduced a spell called Spirit of Eagle.

So shut the fuck up, you have to say the Pig one!

My dictionary claims tow-MAH-toe is un-'Merican.

It's an acronym so the pronunciation is "Spirit of Wolf". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally I'm in the pig camp...it's just the way that sounds right to me. I've had friends say SoW as "so" and I consider both correct if you're going to pronounce the acronym.

Really surprised the piggies are in the minority here. But then again, there are people who pronounce Luclin as Luke-lin.

I voted and pronounce as "so", along with everyone else I have ever played with since 1999 including IRL friends and people I have spoken to on Vent.

Always said it like the female pig pronunciation because that was how my cousin said it to me when he introduced me to the game. Never thought twice about it after.
