[MUD-Dev] WoW and humor

[Vincent Archer]

According to Amanda Walker:

As I said elsewhere, the game is full of such allusions.

The best compilation I've found is at:

Some are real obscure, some are probably mere coincidence, but you
get the idea that the management did encourage all the content
designers to sprinkle their favorite show & books references.
