WoW-Europe site easter eggs

Posted by Saithir On June - 24 - 2009

Well, Deathping died this evening, so I got bored. It started with an easter egg thread on the General forums, where I found the first two. I knew about the hidden warlock class description, but I didn’t know about the tooltips when you mouse over the header pictures on the site. I’ve started browsing around, and found a lot more of these. Some of them are quite amusing, so I’ve decided to share. No spoilers though, you have to click and see for yourself.

  • Classes main page – the red dragon and the warlock “Type” line.
  • All the original races have tooltips on their pages: Dwarves, Tauren, Night ElvesHumans, Orcs and Gnomes have the best ones, the other two also have some, but not that good. Draenei and Blood Elves got nothing unfortunately.
  • Cenarion Circle, Cenarion Expedition and Keepers of Time – these three does not require a comment really, do they.
  • The Consortium and Scryers and Aldor – quite good as well.
  • Lower City – each kid has one, read from left to right.
  • Argent Dawn, Zandalar Tribe, Kurenai, Timbermaw and Sporeggar have some as well, but they’re not that good, so no links.
  • Reputation main page – there are two screenshots on the right side – notice the name of the Tauren character in them, and the emote on the second one.
  • Battlegrounds main page – Face of the Orc on the left, then of the Elf on the right, awesome. :)
  • Eye of the Storm – head of the Tauren.
  • World guide main pages – the poor cow lost in Gnomeregan :)
  • STV Fishing Tournament – Gnomes, read from right to left for a change.
  • Pirate’s Day – this one is not on the header, but on the Blood Elf on the right.
  • Darkmoon Faire – does it really need a comment? Also the subpages have tooltips on the characters in the contents, check them out as well.
  • Hallow’s End, Midsummer, Love is in the Air and Lunar Festival also got some tooltips, but nothing special.
  • Be nice guide – the Tauren and the Human on the right side.
  • Getting started guide – all images on the right, the bottom two are the best though.
  • Death system – images on the right as well.
  • Exploring the Map – a classic on the image.
  • Combat Pets – again both of the images on the right. Made me laugh.
  • Food and Drink – the Tauren guy.
  • Dressing Room – this one has a very amusing header and a tooltip on the top right character. The other two have tooltips with their gear that gives that look, pretty cool as well.
  • Resting – the sleeping Gnome has a tooltip, but it’s pretty boring. The sleeping Orc’s one is much much better.
  • Dancing – header again.
  • Game Guide – on the header and on most of the thumbnails. Some are pretty awesome.
  • Boxes (but also as a header on other pages) – above and a bit to the left of the gryphon.
  • Parties – enlarge the first screenshot (the one with greed/need thumbnail) and read the conversation.
  • Voice Chat – another tooltip that made me really laugh, on the Blood Elf female.
  • Honor System – long tooltip on the header. Other pvp pages also have a header tooltip, but it’s not very interesting.
  • Outdoor PvP – very amusing header once again, one of the better ones. Also, the comment under the Silithus map thumbnail, doesn’t that remind you of anything?
  • Player Stories – header image again. The rest of Community section has a nice tooltip as well.
  • Parental Controls – another header image tooltip.
  • WoW Credits – the last line.

And that should be all. Know anything that I’ve missed? You liked some more than the other? Let me know in the comments!
