[Winterspring] Translating Spirit Speak and revealing the secrets!

[Xel]

My friend and I had some funny time doing this "Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff" quest
where you had to deliver a book containing "Studies of Spirit speaking". It was
extremely funny to spam WSG chat with some 'Spirit speak' which looks about
like this: OooOoOooooOOoOOooOO. This all happened years ago.

Now after reading maclone's thread ([Gnomeregan] Translating the gnomish binary and revealing the secrets!)
this quest came back to my mind and I begun to figure out it's meaning.
(Thanks to maclone and to his awesome thread!)

Here is the actual book I started from.


I used this pattern I figured out myself to translate this to binary:

O=1
o=0

And after converting I got a binary code like this:

1010101 1101100 1110100 1101001 1101101 1100001 100000 1001111 1101110 1101100 1101001 1101110 1100101 100000 1001110 1100001 1110000 1100001 100000 1010110 1100001 1101100 1101100 1100101 1111001 100000 1001011 1101110 1101001 1100111 1101000 1110100 1110011 100000 1101111 1100110 100000 1000011 1101000 1100001 1101111 1110011

and you if you convert that to text:
1010101 = U
1101100 = l
1110100 = t
1101001 = i
1101101 = m
1100001 = a ... and so on
TIP: If you want to do it yourself, do it for each character.

You get this:
Ultima Online Napa Valley Knights of Chaos

Now what is this?
Dr. Prof. Maclone assumes that one of the dev's/designers played 'Ultima Online' on
the realm 'Napa Valley' and he was in the guild 'Knights of Chaos'.

It's a Ultima Online -joke. When you were dead all you were able to say was:
"OoOooOooo", some players even learned to translate it so they could understand
each others.

So it's supposed to be a joke, or a 'advertisement' of some kind. But I must
say, as long as Blizzard keeps adding stuff like this into WoW, they keep me
quite happy and interested !
