Why do so many people name it "Purgatory"

When it's clearly spelled "Pergatory Realm". (Go, check.)

I've seen many people in the past spell it like it is in the title.
Right, i know that Purgatory is a term, but in the case of GW, it's Pergatory.
Always been a pet peeve of mines.

Google search for pergatory...

Showing results for purgatory
Search instead for pergatory

People call it purgatory because in all likelihood, that's what it's supposed to be, same with all the other typos in the game. I don't know, I reckon I end up calling it perg more than anything else.

Yeah, i noticed it should have been 'purg' but it's always annoyed me that people have never corrected themselves. Like, in real life situation it's purgatory but when talking about GW it should always be perg, as that's what they named it.

Like, i don't have a 46 billion dollar turn income, it's naq. The name of resource in this game. Like purgatory is the name of the other realm in this game.

This amuses me. We had a load of threads about this when it was introduced.

Who cares, the game was made by a Canadian. Enough said. 8-[

Wonder why my post count is so low? Thats because I was deleted. Why you may ask?
Well, thats because I exposed the truth about Zeratul and Admin Jason had to cover it up.

Section Admins - who will be 'in charge' of the section in question. They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role. And insofar as the Section Admin is responsible for the users, they are also responsible for the high level mod behaviour towards the users.
So -as a user - if you have an issue with how you are treated, rules, bans, whatever --goto the section admin... They are there for you!

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.
