Quotes

Interaction quotes

"I come from a distant land, one where there are many races. It doesn't appear that you are any of those races, however." "This area is quite different from what I'm used to. People where I'm from spend loads to get virtual clothes." "...okay. I've got your grade seventeen fifth cast weapon materials ready. *click* Sorry, did you need something?" "How do you people deal with being two-dimensional?" "買點東西，什麼都買。 Oops, sorry about that. I was just speaking to a friend of mine from home."[sic] "Psionic Infusion, Spark, Chant of Chi, Tide Spirit, Sandburst Blast, Stone Smasher, macro. What? Just setting up my strategy for this nuke." "Pan Gu is the creator of my land. Who created yours? ... Redigit? Never heard of them." "You should consider the Tome Forge. It's my own invention!" "When the Changelings took over the Western Steppes, I fled to this land. I already like it better." "Wait, you get loot after defeating a boss more than once per day?!" When the Dye Trader is present: "Wow, <Name of Dye Trader>'s services are free? Where I'm from, you have to pay an arm and a leg to dye clothes..." During Hardmode at night: "My home is fraught with Wraiths. I'm deathly afraid of them; please keep them away."
