Edgar Allan Poe allusions in Draynor?

[mini193]

 

Yep, got it in one. It's kinda of a recurring pattern. I believe that if you look hard enough, most areas and elements of the game is in fact based on several books, stories, tv shows, movies...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just gotta look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guards at Jatizo and Neitiznot quote monty python when insulting eachother. "Your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberries!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mage training arena has wands and a talking hat. Can someone say "Harry potter"?

Also, if you use a herring with a tree, it says "this is not the tallest tree in the forest" (or something like that, I'm not sure), in reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when they confront "The Knights Who Say 'Ni!'", and are asked to cut down the tallest tree in the forest using only a herring. Then, if you go the grand tree (the tallest tree in the forest), and use a herring with it, it says "It can't be done!", quoting monty pythons response to "The Knights Who Say 'Ni!'".

I think it's "this is not the mightiest tree in the forest"

[Nitemare100]

Yep weird.

[RedHanyu888]

Theres another one... I think If you examine a snake it will say something like "Snake! Ooooh.. It's a snake!" Reference to Badger Song.

Nice find! =D>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edgar Allen Poe is rumored to have slept/drank in the local tavern/restaurant in my town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No word on whether he buried a tell-tale heart under the porch though... ;)

[Piman]

runescape is full of references to all sorts of literature, movies, and other weird culture

[Death_Dude74]

Can't believe no one has posted on the moles yet! In the giant mole's lair, examining the babies and giant mole mother herself reveal a hidden cache of 'Austin Powers in Goldmember' lines which are directly from Austin talking about the mole in Dr. Evil's organization (Who also has a large mole on his face). Check it out sometime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, its 'This is not the mightiest tree in the forest,' unless you use it on the Grand Tree (diff response).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, the Gypsy spells in RFD are largely based on Latin, and some other romantic languages.

Pretty obvious if you read his poems and writing. Really i have to say, hes pretty good :)

[ortiz9471]

Yeah, read that in school a few months ago and found it funny :P

[mario_sunny]

[katakid1]
