Wow, and only a couple of years after the book came out. Cool.

[Eccezan]

[bamzal]

[Growlers]

This is awesome!

Joffrey is an important character from the books and now TV show.

[Phats]

joffrey and sansa

[bamzal]

ah cool

[Nepenthe]

lol didn't even notice Sansa at first double nice.

[Drock87]

Awesome! Can't wait for season 3.

[Grimmly Fireforge]

lol, yep there's both of them! Just Joffrey or Sansa alone could've been a coincidence, but them together right next to each other is what convinced me it was a Song of Ice and Fire homage, no question.

Hipster EQ classic devs: Repping George R.R. Martin before it was cool. :cool:

[Nepenthe]

Now that it's cool, they'll have to deny they did it on purpose. That would be cool.

[Kevynne]

WIN.

[gotrocks]

Sansa daughter of ned stark.

Joffrey son of Cersei and Jamie lannister (they're brother and sister. ew. probably why he's such a prick)

Put a spoiler tag or remove this please, in case anyone hasn't seen the series...

[Hollywood]

haha great find, also can't wait for season 3, eq is hilarious

[Obwin]

Another connection - the sword "Lightbringer" plays an important part in book two as well. Haven't seen the TV series to know if it's there or not.

Good catch, I rarely even notice NPC names.

[Vellatri]

A blond dwarf (http://wiki.project1999.org/Pandos_Flintside) is Lady Shae's (http://wiki.project1999.org/Lady_Shae) bodyguard.

[Lagaidh]

I can't believe I never caught the Lady Shae reference. I mean, I didn't know of GoT until the series, but my god did I know about Pandos and his lady. I stuffed so many muffins into that guy it was obscene.

I completely agree, this is actually pretty stunning!

******!!!!STUPENDOUS FIND OF THE YEAR!!!!!******

[Swish]

He's not the only Joffrey either. Suddenly, the Jauffre from Oblivion appears (pronounced the same way in the audio)... another link or just coincidence? ;)

Sigh.

[Zuranthium]

Nice find. Another reminder of why EQ was so special when it started - the developers were wholly dedicated to bringing a fantasy world to life.

I killed Lady Shae many times with my Necromancer, LOL.

[Grimmly Fireforge]

Bumping this for relevancy.

[Gadwen]

I can't wait to see them all die in season 3.

[webrunner5]

You guys need to get outside more often. :eek::eek:

[Byrjun]

I can pull obscure references out of EQ mob names too!

The one on the left is a striking resemblance to Regis of today.
