Game of Thrones References

Anyone else catching all the references from the A Song of Ice and Fire books? I dig that the writers are fans of the series :cool:

I've seen it in dialogue, monster names and quest names.

we have enough references running around with every other player using a butchered name. IDK how many Targaryens and Danerys' i've seen running around. it is retarded.

I haven't seen any. I HAVE seen about 3000 Targaryen / Starks running around. Guess it beats XxSephirothxx

Yeah, I think the references were mention back in Beta. Good job. :3

It's also in an achievement name. The achievements for levelling Gladiator are "Stick Them With the Pointy End". That goes back to the introduction of achievements in 1.20.

Every time someone names their character Targaryen or Stark, Yoshi-P kills a moogle. Think of the moogles!

Some of the people with A Song of Ice and Fire names (e.g. the Daenerys on my server that looks NOTHING like Daenerys) can be a little grating. But clever in-game references to the series are awesome!

I feel like I've noticed some but I can't remember them specifically right now. Anyone have any examples of them?

I have seen so many tyrion's and tywin's you can't count them anymore. However it is funny seeing tyrion's character portrayed as a Roe in ARR lol. As for actual in game references, can't think of any off the top of my head but it's pretty sweet they have some!

"Taking the Black"

Black Mage Quest

I've seen monsters named Aurochs and Wight Walkers. Quest named Taking the Black, dialogue which includes things like "Seven hells!" or referring to things as a "Mummer's farce". Keep it up, SE :P


....I'll admit to naming my retainer after a GoT character haha.
