Sorry to go off-topic, haven't found anything special that hasn't been posted yet, but this is the best thread on these forums
Ariah - High Elf Cleric - Blightweald EU PvE
I'm nearly positive that the words mages call out on the character select screen are spell components from the game Arx Fatalis.
Late last night I stumbled across an NPC named Peil Neert (I might have the spelling slightly off) - I immediately thought "Cool, someone at Trion is a Rush fan!", since that's the name of legendary drummer Neil Peart with the first letters transposed.
Wish I could remember where he was. I'm pretty sure he was someone I turned a quest in to, not sure where I found him though.
I really like that Trion's keeping the references subtle and relatively obscure. Playing WoW is a non-stop exercise in being beaten over the head with mostly dumb and always blindingly obvious pop culture references. They really overdo it, and it's one of the things I always disliked about the game.
Another one - the third stage boss of the beginner rift that appears right outside the Ark of the Ascended in Freemarch says "I'll tear your soul apart!" when he spawns - which is a direct quote from Pinhead in the movie Hellraiser.
I noticed that as well. The song is actually titled "All These Things That I've Done"!Originally Posted by Ravenfire
Quest- A Bridge Too Close
Referance to book and movie titled "A Bridge to Far". They were about Operation Market Garden which was during WW2.
I'm fairly certain that the male Dwarf dance is based on this:

Artifact "Girdle of Gender Changing" - AD&D "Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity"
In Sanctum, Cyril has his pet squirrel Floop. A nod to Minsk and Boo from Baldur's gate perhaps?
Tank Dooks the fight master for the illeagle fights is actualy a play one Frank Dux (pronounced Dukes) Legendary Kumite champion portrayed by jean claude van damne in the movie bloodsports.
From 1975 to 1980 Frank W. Dux fought 329 matches.
He retired undefeated as the World Heavy Weight

People have mentioned a possible Frank Dux reference at the Perspice arena, (a vague reference to a c-list movie?) but no one's mentioned that in front of that NPC there are two fighters, Napoleen <Bo Staff Style> & Kyp <Cage Fighter> - a Napoleon Dynamite reference.

Fauxter's. Mathosian for Ale.
Loggers' Run in Scarwood Reach is a play on the film Logan's Run - although you don't have to die at 30 in Loggers' Run (mind you it could happen).
Stillmoor days, Mathosian Knights as a reference to "Day and Knight"
Achievement:Impossible -> Mission: impossible
Richter is in fact a Vampire who lives in the town of Belmont... have to kill him as a Defiant.
yeah, Castlevania
