    What Does "taewraefaerae" mean?

    It's bothering the hell out of me. I googled it expecting to find info about it but was surprised to find nothing. I asked in game and no one replied. Surely I'm not the only one that has seen this pop up in the middle of their screen and in chat while questing in the Broken Isles?

    It means "the dead return".

    Sounds like a world quest translation bug or something.

    Allow me to assist you:

    I speak fluent drunk asshole. Years as a bartender, you see. It's "the referee". Clearly a penalty was made that upset someone!



    OT: I have no fucking clue, neither does Google. Meh, gibberish is gibberish. Though, looking at the spelling if its correct I'd say it has something to do with Tauren. Made up or not, seems like a NA word.

    Well apparently it goes back way farther than I thought. I thought I had already taken a screenshot a while back and started digging through all my screenshots on my wow folder and sure enough found the screenshot below while questing in Spires of Arak in WoD. If you notice it looks like a system message it shows up both in my screen and in chat:

    That's your in-game alarm. You have it set to go off once a day at a certain time, and you named it "TAEWRAEFAERAE". Click the clock on your mini map.

    I hope a meme is born from this!

    Mine says "BARK BARK BARK" at 9:15pm

    I don't know why. I set it about 8 years ago to remind me of something that night, and it was a joke that I had forgotten to turn it off, and I eventually just... never turned it off.

    I don't think the "ae" sequence of characters is even pronounceable in english.

    Trust me, it happens to all of us I have an alarm to remind me of the wander's festival from literally years ago that I haven't deleted yet, it annoys me daily and I keep forgetting.

    Mine goes "GO TO BED" at 1:00am. Sometimes I forget that I set it myself long ago and get really creeped out when the message pops up but then I feel strangely comforted at the thought that someone I may never meet is out there, looking out for me.
