Worlds End Tavern:

[Sanrin]

Has an NPC named Haris Pilton. Blood elves offically lose forever.

[Brakogar]

That's against the RP rules!

Report him to the GM for name violation!

[Villinger]

The name of the tavern makes up for the terrible NPC.

[Tarlithion]

The Rogue NPC in the Tavern more than makes up for Haris Pilton.

"Real Rogues don't use Feint"

[Sanrin]

The better rogue would be the Alliance one that makes fun of all rogues that use maces. He is amazing.

[Cedes]

its on ytmnd XD

[Tillna]

Tp about the rouges

SS please

[Danyxandra]

Haris Pilton was put in specifically for Brakogar to entice him to come back to WoW to gank her ass.
*nods sagely*

The name of the tavern makes up for the terrible NPC.

I agree.. its uncannily close to the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe."

I wonder if they roll out a gnome so you can "Meet the Meat.."

Oh.. and Thrallmar has a " Floyd Pinkus." now thats too cool!! :D

Actually she does have a very similar line in world's end: something along the lines of "I discourage all the young rogues from using maces and the like. You'll end up with nothing but a noisy, messy kill with those things."

[Karkarov]

WoW has always made inside jokes about all sorts of pop culture. From Lario and Muigen (sp may be wrong) in ungoro along with Linken, to Jordy Lapforge and various other star trek spoofs, there is even an Amilia Airheart flightmaster at spinebreaker post in hellfire peninsula. I just laugh at inclusions like this and take them as they were intended, small easter eggs meant to give people a laugh.

[Tillna]

Doomulus prime is a good one..

Also is the Sword of a Thousand Truths

[nothus]

The Tenacious Defender
"It has the power....to move you"

[Ellsbeth]

For some literary freaks there are also author names mismatched. I can't quite remember the one in the UC that always makes me smirk. But they're there. The author name, with the book they've written.

[Kallindra]

The alchemy supplier in UC is Algernon. That's a great literary allusion.

[Tarlithion]

As far as goofy literary allusions go, Hemet Nesingwary is one of my favourites.

[Lupen]

Ellsbeth, my personal favourite. Three NPCs, Charles, Dexter, Ward. From HP Lovecraft's story of "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", one of my favourite stories... Ever.

[Ellsbeth]

I also was one of the lame people who took over a year to notice "Hin Denburg" the zeppelin master.

http://www.blizzplanet.com/content/91/

A list of more of them.

[Zeliack]

Third Pirates fo the Carridbean movie shall be called:

The Pirates of the Caribean: The World's End

True Story. They goto, 'The Worlds End' to save Capn. Jack Sparrow.

I thought the World's End Tavern was a Sandman reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman:_Worlds'_End

i went their and saw one i knew of. Grimlok in un'goro XD. There is also a quest there in un'goro to save a robot gorilla in the monkey cave named A-mi :P (congo)

[Kaliera]

"Slim"
<Shady Dealer>

I love his dialog text too, something along the lines of "I am neither Slim, nor Shady, and I find both references to be insulting."

[Niethan]

In HFP, there's a goblin zepplin crash, and one of the quest reward options is Flintlocke's Piloting Pants.

[Jobolg]

My new personal favorite NPC name is from the engineering trainer somewhere in Zangarmarsh.. Don't remember the name of the place.

Mack Diver.

[Marroc]

The better rogue would be the Alliance one that makes fun of all rogues that use maces. He is amazing.

*looks at his maces*

... MEANY!!!!

*cries*


In all honesty though... I wanna duel that npc, and smash his face into the floor with my friggin symbol of the horde.

[Marroc]

"Slim"
<Shady Dealer>

Will the real slim shady dealer please stand up?

Not a reference to the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" so much as it is a direct reference to World's End (a story arc in The Sandman by Neil Gaiman) in which characters from multiple existences and times congregate at a tavern called, World's End because of a universe/reality spanning storm.


(The Sandman is a comic by DC/Vertigo comics btw, one of the best comic book series ever written. not to impune Douglas Adams or anything)

I was gonna say, Douglas Adams love?

[Morgenstern]

The bankers in Stormwind are Olivia, Newton and John.

Then in Ironforge two of the bankers are Barnum and Bailey.

[Fallacy]

My favorite out of them all has got to be the goblin Shauly Pore, who resides in the Netherstorm at "Eco-Dome Midrealm."

Yes, huge Douglas Adams fan here. He and I seemed to share a lot of the same wry outlooks on the human condition, ( or the condition of small furry creatures fro Alpha Centauri ).

Yes, I think you are right about The Sandman being the inspiration for the Inn. It fits much better.

That's what I said. ^~ Though it is worth saying twice!
