There's a quest called 'worthy deeds (done dirt cheap)', an obvious AC/DC reference. Those sillies.

Well the one I pointed out is definitely a reference. There's a song that goes 'dirty deeds, done dirt cheap!', no way that's a coincidence.
This is for GW:EN easter eggs btw....

In factions there's a quest called "More Cowbell" in which you had to get a blue oyster shell or something like that, an obvious reference to the Saturday Night Live skit called More Cowbell, in which the band's name is the Blue Oysters (I think.)
EDIT: Sorry I just realized that this is only for GW:EN easter eggs. Just disregard my post. Sorry.

I hate rabbits now..... during Tracking the Nornbear at Drakkar Lake I saw a rabbit. So I approached said rabbit thinking it'd be like the presearing one. And then it started to lead me into this pristine area. So pretty I thought. And then all of a sudden the rabbits go from ally to aggrorific and on top of that a whole mess of enemies surround me. They just ring around the area and close me in. But are they easy? Nooooo. They're all at least lvl 24! The devs are evil! EVIL!

Another one: in the quest 'Worthy Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)' you have to defeat the Lady of Lake. Reference to the movie: Lady in the Water.

My favourite one so far is Chromatic Drakes, which drop Chromatic Scales. Which is a pun on the musical term Chromatic Scale, meaning a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone or half step apart. Maybe sounds boring, but if you've heard of it before it's funny ^^

Actually, it probably refers to the lady of the lake, she is the one who gave King Arther excaliber i think (been a while since i did anything concerning king arthur, lol)

i think it's more likely that both the char in GW and the film name/meaning are derived of the same thing as the lady of the lake is very old

My favorite is that the voice of Vekk is the voice actor who did the Brain in Pinky and the Brain. He asks, when you adventuring "Are you Pondering what I'm pondering?" That was a question Brain asked Pinky every episode.

Aww no way. I was really hoping they'd have some reference to that in there somewhere. awesome.
Kinda imagine my character turning to Vekk and going
"So what do we do now Vekk"
"The same thing we do every time, save the world".
Or something along those lines, obvious parody.

Or you should respond with "I think so Vekk, but what would we do with 1000 pair of miniature Leaderhosen?
