I've noticed that in Tarren Mill there's a forsaken named "Tallow"

Muahaha it is working, all the closet WoW players are coming out of the woodwork! MUAHAHA!!!

I noticed a dwarf named Kogan in the dwarf starting areas as well back before cata hit.  Though that may have just been a coincidence.

WoW is older than DF.

And yet it has been influenced by DF and not the other way around. Amazing no?

I don't have a screenshot since I don't play WoW myself, but my brother informed me that in the new version, there's also a dwarf NPC called "Haggis Boatmurder".

There is no way this can be coincidence.

Wow is like the south park of gaming. They pack as many references into it as possible so the kids which play it feel special/important when they recognize something.

"HA, I KNOW THIS STUFF".

Bit of a cynical take. Perhaps the devs just enjoy the things they reference?

or maybe they just like making references which most people won't get.

Haggis Boatmurder actually has a whole DF refrence quest.  A quest called "Dwarf Fortress" has you kill him to obtain schematics for Bael Dun.  The description of the schematics is something along the lines of "A map of the fortress using simple symbols to identify complex structures".

Unfortunately I only heard this second hand.  My lv 50 hunter found and killed him while exploring southern barrens but since I didn't have the quest(and donno where to get it) I didn't get the schematic.    Haggis is in Bael Dun Fortress where that fire elemental ambassador used to be pre cata.

ROFL MMORPG. I used to play runescape, so I shouldn't talk. But runescape definitely needed more DF.

Apparently runescape has a quest involving DF as well. Something about a dwarf named urist and a strange mood or something.

Apparently his name is Urist Loric!
The DF references are mentioned at the bottom of the page.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.
