Easter Eggs 1




Now i know its not easter yet, but lets skip ahead a bit and look at some of the easter eggs you can find in wow. A easter egg doesn't have to be made out of chocolate - it can also mean intentional hidden features or pop culture references. The idea is that the makers of the game put a personal signature in the game - or maybe just to amuse the players that stumbles upon them. Its called an easter egg because the hunt for them resembles the traditional easter egg hunt... apparently.
Well, I know Mijo got some sweat on her forehead when she went around the world to find some of these easter eggs. But it was worth the ride, cause what a ride! You dont have to move one bit to see them though, cause Mijo already did the footwork for you and got you pictures!
So here we go:
Picture 1: Haris Pilton, aka famous socialite Paris Hilton and her dog Tinkerbell can be found near the bar in Lower City, Shattrath. She loved getting her picture taken.
Picture 2: Ever seen the movie "Snakes on a plane"? Well, me neither - but in Nagrand at Nesingwary's Safari you can find this plane with a snake on it ;)
Picture 3: If theres some Eminem fans out there, this one should be obvious. He often refers to himself as Slim Shady - and here we have a shady dealer called Slim! You can find him in Auchindoun (Sethekk halls?) if you wish to trade with him or get an autograph maybe.
Picture 4: This one is one of the more well hidden easter eggs. In Nagrand, at Zangar Ridge beside the road, you will find a sword in a stone! Obviously referring to the novel "The Sword in the Stone". Was a rather nice sword but unfortunately it was stuck.
Theres a lot more easter eggs but ill save some of them for another time. And remember, if you just keep your eyes open, you might spot something amusing on your way :)
