Yeah, Ironforge is a Dwarf Fortress. Just look at the magma forge mega-project!
There's even merchants out the side selling stuff and nearby towns.

Link please?

This is actually the first thread.
I deny that. May I have some solid proof of this other than the date of creation for topics? Because if it's at the front in my view that means it's the newest.  8)

The examine on "Urist's Talisman", which you steal during the course of the quest, is "A gem in a gold setting.  All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality".  I'd say that's pretty convincing evidence for an intentional reference (along with his name, the guard mentioning he comes from a fortress and loves work and booze, etc).

This is awesome.

I wonder how long it'll be 'til we get a reference in WoW.
...Dwarfs...Underground....statues at the front...magma...forges...

Oh wait...this came beforeeee DF or after? I haven't played much of WoW to know.
WoW was released in '04. DF was released in '06.

Yeah, Ironforge is a Dwarf Fortress. Just look at the magma forge mega-project!

I mean an actual reference, not just stereotypical dwarfiness.

Dwarves have been around before DF and WoW. Neither of them started it.

We should create a new holiday called "Urist McDwarf day" or something like that, and maybe make a facebook group or whatever.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

We should have one. In Europe. In the UK.

Because we are still the most important country in the world. *clinging to long lost glory*

Nah come to Australia. We can have the convention in a forest and put up fake elf corpses in the trees and have archery ranges with elves at the end. So manyyyy ideas

If a elf dies in a forest and only dwarfs are around to see it does anyone care?
