PLEASE be different from WoW/WoW-clones - don't call them "recipes"! BOO!

I *get* that it's in the gaming vernacular - but can't we PLEASE call them something else, for AoC?
"Schematics", "blueprints", "patterns" - ANYTHING else, please!
Sorry to have posted about this multiple times, but I heard them referred to as "recipes" in the latest update video. Am always happy to ask to have this particular terminology changed.

cooking schematics, cooking blueprints, cooking patterns
i guess recipes were just a general name, and each profession will have their own term
The game should not call it anyway.
What we use to read and learn the process could be a book or scroll.
sounds like a.... "recipe" for disaster
Recipes.
Oh.
I know WoW was the first MMO, and all MMOs since then are heavily influenced by it. It's a bit like when Tolkien created the first fantasy universe in in the world with Middle Earth and invented the orcs and elves and dwarves, and now we see them everywhere! But I think it's ok.
It's not like they are naming one of the archetypes "tank" or anything like that. Haha! Can you imagine? Now that would be silly!
Aye, it fits for cooking schems.
I see what you did there!
Heheh - I refer to them as WoW-clones because the WoWers seem to get really, REALLY upset when you call WoW an EQ-clone
Right. No - not trying to say that.
Technically, I think Neverwinter Nights was the first MMO, back in the 90's. Had the pleasure of playing it, for an all-too-short period of time - but I know what you mean. Ah, the days of 2D DnD games....
And just you be careful! We don't need you triggering yet another "tank-alanche" storm of Tank-name posts....
Aren't we all sinners?
"Plan" - Buildings/Stations
"Recipe" - Food/Drink
"Scroll" - Enchantment
"Mixture" - Potion
Reality is, the practical aspect of what you do to craft (collect specific components and combine them in a specific manner with specific equipment) describes a recipe, not a blueprint, schematic or anything else.
Oh, I wasn't being serious about WoW or Tolkien being first at all. Like with most people that are creative, they stood on the shoulders of those before them, and uhm.. borrowed heavily
I don't even really care about the Tank name.
I would be fine with different names for different categories, but "recipe" fits the cooking and alchemy category at least.
Jewel Cutting: design
Scribing: lexicon
Tailoring: pattern
Armor Smith: blueprint
Weapon: schematic
Alchemy: formula
Carpentry: sketch
Cooking: recipe
Leatherworking: plan
Tag and bag.
Pattern for something worn or wielded.
Blueprint for a structure or anything mechanical.
Simple but allows for some distinction.

'We have to move. It's not safe here.'

"Aha! I have a scheme for making this amazing apple pie for you!"
While i never played any other MMO than WoW - and have absolutely no Idea what "EQ" is,
yes i can agree that many WoW-Players get angry over the most ridiculous Reasons all the time. At least when other VideoGames are involved and they think that someone is trashtalking their Addiction called WoW.
✓ Occasional Roleplayer
✓ Currently no guild !! (o_o)
EverQuest (EQ) was one of the preeminent granddaddy MMOs' , pre-dating WoW which subsequently out-surpassed it in popularity.
There is also a EverQuest 2, both games still have active servers and are still available to play.
agreed
Or, you could make any "recipe" ultra rare so that you have to go to the individual that ate the recipe to learn how to craft the item.
