Wachtwoord Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I don't know if you count it an easter egg, but examining the fairy godfather says: "I'm going to give him an offer he can refuse".

JimmyMcNabb Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Just wondering, isn't Mithril from Lord of The Rings? Frodo had Mithril, as light as a feather but as hard as dragon scales. Mithril is an extremely light armor The name might come from it, but it was no way similar. Mithril in that movie is dwarven(or elven) armor that is indestructible. Everyone knows that Mithril in runescape is all but indestructible. Mithril was added to the game in early 2001 and was the best armour at the time. It was not intended to be low level armour like it is now. Andrew could not have envisaged that the game would grow in the way that it has or that they would have to add so many types of improved armour to keep players happy. I am aware of this, in fact it crossed my mind to make it an although. I still don't believe Jagex ever planned Mithril from Lord of the Rings to be like the Mithril on Runescape. Mithril is supposed to be silver...not blue. Its not really a lotr reference even. Runite, Adamantite and Mithril are the 3 major fantasy metals. If you look a bit deeper than popular culture fantasy books etc these 3 feature all over the place.Much like allthe incarnations ofr fairies, griffins and elves across the fantasy genreActually adamantine is real, it's kind of like corundum. Yeah but most people don't know that. Where as they know its a common thing in fantasy hence one of the fantasy metals. Like theres fantasy dwarves. But theres real medical dwarves (genetic dwarfism) Alot of people know about adamantite... it is a type of crystal that when exposed to the right temperatures and pressure can be turned into an extremely strong (but brittle) tempered metal, the only stronger (known) metal is titanium - This is different to the medical condition known as dwarfism.. As adamantite exists in runescape as it does in real life. But I didn't think a stereotype of dwarfs (yes its dwarfs not dwarves) in the real world is that they have a love of metal and are amazing smiths..... Also obsidian exists in the real world, is a type of jet black and shiny rock which can be obtained in a abundance from the continent of Africa. It's just its not really useful in anyway.

Olbritishchap Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 if u examine the alchemest chart in your study room in your house, it says "if there's a recipie for the philosiphers stone here, i dont see it." Its a very clear reference to full metal alchemest, the pwnage magna. i lmaoed irl when i saw it.

someone_els Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 There is allot of Lovecraft references or similarities to his tales in RS. One was already listed, Ezekial Lovecraft. On braindeath isle you got these squid called Karamthulhu, which is a Cthulhu (squid faced being from beyond the stars in Lovecraft's tales) refference/pun on star spawn. You really have to know the tales well to get the joke there. Or be a Metallica fan (like me): the title of an instrumental is based on it: The Call Of Ktulu. (which is obviously based on Lovecraft too, Cliff was a fan of those tales) There are a lot in the songs: 'Aye Car Rum Ba': Bart Simpson. 'Catch Me If You Can' is a movie I believe. 'Escape' is a Metallica song too, but it's a common used word so it probably isn't based on that. 'Faithless' is some music act too, but same thing as with Escape here. 'Golden Touch': the tale of king Midas (sp?). 'Hells Bells': AC/DC song. 'Tomb Raider': Lara Croft (sp?) There must be lots more I didn't notice. A few others i'm aware of are: 'All's Fairy in Love an War': All's Fair in Love and War, either a movie or just a saying. 'Romancing the Crone': Similar to the movie titled Romancing the Stone 'Beetle Juice': Either the movie Beetle Juice or a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference to Ford Prefect.

Lemurian Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well, not sure of this one, might just be a coincidence but here goes: In the newly updated Canifis, there's a guy called Imre in the Bar. When you examine him, it says he's a shop keeper. Well, in a book in a popular serie (Wheel of Time, 4th Book), the main characters go through a desert. They stop at a small spring where merchants often gather to sell things to the people in the desert. That spring was caleld Imre Stand. *shrugs* Might be related...
