How is Luclin pronounced?

[sanforce]

"Loose-lin" is the only one that makes sense. Anything else is just crappy reading skills on your part.

Surely you and all the people voting for loose-lin are trolling.

It's already been pointed out, but a c followed by a consonant in the English language is pronounced hard as a "k" e.g. lucrative, clear. A c followed by a vowel is soft e.g. lucid. Luclin has a c followed by a consonant, so it's almost certainly hard.

= "Luck-lin"

Luck-Lin

Also SoW is pronounced like Crow not like Cow.

Your example seems to be more of a case for "Luke-Lin".

Otherwise, why wouldn't lucrative be pronounced, "luck-rative"?

Fair call, and I could live with "Luke-lin". "Loose-lin", however, is out IMO. Everyone I know has always called it Luck-lin, including the devs though.

Wow, I'm really surprised that it is this divided. I've never heard anybody say it any other way than Luck-lin.
