This is kind of due to the other post about runescape being from another country.

 

 

 

Then I thought about characters that are in the game that are obviously based on real people

 

 

 

The Council worker on the route to rellekka is obviously based on council workers all over Britain.

 

 

 

O'brien Richard in burthorpe bank. upon examine it says "head of the maze"

 

Obviously based on Richard O'brian host of a show called "the Crystal Maze" on UK TV in the 90's. Also of Rocky Horror picture show fame.

 

 

 

Jeremy Clerksin / possibly based on jeremy clarkson? in varrock church definately looks like him lol.

 

 

 

Martin Thwait when you examine him it says "loveable rogue" possibly based on a policeman "martin Thwaite" who wrote a book on how to avoid driving penalties, speeding tickets, evade the police etc.. possibly?

 

 

 

The only definate on my list is O'brien Richard off the top of my head. But I'm sure I've seen more over time.

 

 

 

Has anyone found Osama Bin Laden Hiding in the mountains? Or maybe there's a dwarf somewhere in the mines called Tom Cruise? There must be some more characters based on real people somewhere.

 

 

 

Please no one say Romeo and Juilet

 

 

 

Edit: thought of another

 

 

 

Bouqet Mac Hyacinth. Lunar Isle

 

 

 

Examine info.. Should I pronounce it Bucket?

 

Based on Hyacinth Bucket a Character on Keeping up appearences, UK TV. always told everyone her name bucket was pronounced "bouquet"

It is pretty cool how Jagex uses ideas from the real world in their game. The following quote is not a reference to a real life person, but rather a movie.

 

This is not the mightiest tree in the forest.

(Not verbatim)

 

This is from Monty Python and can be found in rs by using a (herring?) on any tree. There are many more of these references in the game (well, others that I can't think of right now).

rick turpentine the random is taken from a famous highway robber

Asgarian Smith the guy from desert treasure who is like a historian treasure hunter

 

 

 

Based on Indiana Jones.

 

 

 

Why?

 

 

 

Indiana = american region (state)

 

Asagria = runescape region

 

 

 

Smith & Jones = common british surname

I must admit in all my years on RS I have never seen that. I can't believe I missed that. That's a great one.

 

 

 

I shall definately be keeping an eye out for dead parrrots and the messiah brian.

 

 

 

I'd have never have guessed Indiana Jones, but it makes perfect sense.

*cough*Romeo+Juliet*Cough*

Well, the herring with the tree isn't something you would just do. I think it was part of a quest and word just got around to the people who didn't do that quest. I heard it for the first time here on tip.it :)

 

 

 

And yeah, the Indiana Jones thing... I don't know if Jagex did it on purpose or if you over analyzed it, but cool find nonetheless. I would never have been able to come up with that.

Take a tele to camelot and you've got enough referances to last a while.

Just some many more 'easter eggs' that jagex has implanted into the game.

 

 

 

P.S. I can't get this link code to work...

'easter eggs'

The lumberjack event and clothing is a big reference to the Lumberjack song Examine a zombie lumberjack? "He's one, but he;s not okay." Examine a peice? "You'll certainly be alright wearing this".

I'm staring to think my parents are NPCs...

They sure do like their Monthy Python.

Lol that's too much runescape right there.

I never noticed or considered this. Nice find(s)!

Use the herring on the Grand Tree in the Gnome Stronghold. It will say "This is not possible!"

Romeo and Juliet were from some play, I forgot which one though.

Joke ? Please lol

Bouqet Mac Hyacinth. Lunar Isle

Heh, loved the series but never quite noticed that one. Nice find :)

 

 

 

I saw someone refer to these as "easter eggs". Some call 'm that, but since they're not actually hidden, I'd say they're just pop culture references.

Romeo and Juliet were from some play, I forgot which one though.

 

 

 

Joke ? Please lol

 

 

 

I really hope he is joking. lol

You get something similar when you examine lumberjack Leif on miscillania

Lol, I'm just taking a guess.

 

 

 

The Queen of Ice from this years event = The White Witch, from "The Lion, The Witch, And the Wardrobe". It's quite possible..

 

 

 

O'Ducky

Romeo and Juliet were from some play, I forgot which one though.

Hilarious. "From some play".

If tom cruise is in the game, he's probably in my POH closet. And darn him, he won't come out!

You got some ones I didn't know about there. But yes they add that little extra to the game and I love it.

Well the guards from the towers of Neitiznot and Jatizso repeatedly yell at eachother and taunt eachother. one of their taunts is "your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberries!" based on monty python...

 

 

 

The white knights of fally aren't based on real people to my knowledge but do have interesting names. Sir Toffy Cashien= certification. Sir Prysin= surprisin'. Sir Amik Varze= ceramic vase...
