Project Lore

I know this isn't Wrath, but my favourite ever place would have to be Un'Goro.. or as we like to call it.. Nintendo 64 Heaven! :P I mean there's just so much to admire, Luigon and Marion.. you can guess who that is? And the little gnome dressed in green garments.. Linken! Even the name is a reference, Un'Goro is a mountain/crater or something like that in Legend of Zelda!

Maybe it's just me, being a NIntendo 64 maniac, but I couldn't help but admire it :)

And I also just love all the dialogue in Dragonblight, with the Wrath Gate cutscene, and the quests where you see Arthas and his group of soldiers.. it's just amazing :)

Sorry for the rant guys :D

In the Stormwind Harbor there is a giant gate against a mountain and have always wondered why it was positioned there? Most likely nothing but blizzard could most def. expand there.

Secondly, The Westfall chicken pet and how it's acquired.

One little detail I thought was great in TBC was an npc in Area 52 named Remi Dodoso. The syllables in his name spell out in solfege the notes that the humans and aliens use to communicate at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Very subtle and clever if you ask me.

you guys have mentioned two of my favorites which are "snakes on a plane" and the "Lost hatch"

but no one has mentioned any of the star wars ones which there are many just go search them online somewhere and one of my favorites is a shrine dedicated to Michel Koiter who was an artist who died while they were making the game and i found it cool how they put a shrine there for him To see one name you go when you are alive and to see his last name go while in ghost form.this is somewhere in the Barons but i don't know the coords.

lastly there is a G4 episode on some ester eggs in wow i don't have that site ether

sry i don't have sites and such im in a hurry :)

Mr. Bigglesworth is in naxxarmas. and Kel gets angry when u kill him. and no this is not a joke.

I am very surprised that no one has mentioned sega cidi in the sewers of dalaran. It is a shark that swims around near the rouge vender in the sewers.

rogue sorry.

The ninja-turtles in the underbelly, there are 4 turtles, all looking at a rat (which by the way has around 5k hp)

So after rolling my 5th or so DK (I so love the begining quests) I accidentally clicked on a book and a little eye popped out and scanned me. After that I spent the rest of the time on that DK running around clicking on books in the DK start area and having such a laugh, honeslty leave no book unopened.
The best find I came across was in The Hall of command on the bookshelf right in front of Prince Keleseth (the naughty boy).
Its a book called Touch Of The Banshee, I wont go into detail, but I will tell you its one of the most explicit tounge in cheek things I've ever seen in wow.

for you that want to see the book go to http://www.wowwiki.com/Touch_of_the_Banshee and just read the last few lines.

Anyone else notice that in Un'goro the camp is run by Will & Holly? That's some old school "Land of the Lost" there. And with the area being a throwback to the time of dinosaurs and all too. There's the lost Mechanical Ape that's a reference to the sign language Ape in "Congo". Toshley Station in Blade's Edge is just classic and the fact that it's a total take on the Bug attack scene in Starship Troopers is a great combination of references. I think my favorite has to be the 4 lvl 1 Turtles all around a lvl 80 rat. But truthfully there are too many to settle on a favorite and I discover more each day!!

The list is endless, those guys @ Blizzard sure know what they're doing when it comes to pop culture references!!

Two such that i can recall straight off are,if you play a dk you will see" Siouxsie The Banshee" which is a reference too the band "Siouxsie And The Banshees" and there is a shop in dal next too Ally area that has some witches in it.Their names ref too those from the T.V show "Bewitched"

Ok, let me think here.

Howling Fjord, over in the Southwest there's that pirate area that you quest in. There's a drunkard that you have to get to pass out before you can get his "debt". His name is Jack Adams. I cracked up laughing 'cuz of Jack Daniels and Samuel Adams.

There's also the Children of Goldshire that you can find on YouTube.

Krasus' Landing also made me perk up once I noticed it. Krasus is also Korialstraz, Alexstraza's consort/mate. He was also a magi of Dalaran. In fact, before Arthas came, he was on the council of Magi.

Dragon Names. All dragons of the same flight have similar names (Though I'm not 100% positive on the Green Flight.) Malagos/Syndragosa (agos); Alexstraza/Korialstraz (straz); Nefarian/Onyxia (ia); Nozdormu/Soridormi (dorm). I haven't yet found a male green dragon named to see if it's the same with the green dragon flight. Of course, they can all take on a humanoid form and some take on a different name while doing so.

I knew about the Lordaeron pieces. The alter behind the throne room is to King Menithil. I'll have to check out the Old Hillsbrad thing. That would be cool to see.

I must add another thing. I went into Old Hillsbrad and over to Southshore and if you go into the Inn, well looky who is sitting by the fire! Commander Mograine, Tirion Fordring, Arcanist Doan, Fairbanks, Abbendis, Isillien and they're talking about the Scourge in Northrend. Oh, what's in that box they pulled out, a dark crystal? They're casting light spells at it. Oh my, it's turned brighter. Ashbringer... the beginning!

The castle of stormwind ( which can be seen from the 'command center' in sw) is way bigger than when you can actually go into. why is one of the most influential leaders of the alliance on the openly accessable first floor instead of a well protected tower throne room on like the 5th floor ><
it would make the achievement [for the horde] a lot harder xD

I like the Fire Marshal Bill Reference in Area 52. There is a goblin named Bill .

At one point there is a dialog involving him, but I can seem to find it anywhere. I'm pretty sure he gets burnt though. I believe the dialog is triggered by a quest.

I liked the NPC Mayor Quimby in the DK quests.

Oh, I did just notice a change to the Totem Relics for Shaman, they apparently count as all 4 totems... I have no idea when this change went in, but then again, I haven't played my Shaman (until recently) for about 6 months or so. (Further research indicates this was done in 3.0.2 patch)
