Robin Williams (RIP 1951 – 2014)
We knew that Blizzard was planning to add a Robin Williams tribute to the game, and we even seen datamined files suggesting we might meet Genie, Mork, or Mrs. Doubtfire inside World of Warcraft. However, we’ve gotten our first in-game look at what Robin will look like. On an island in the seas south of Talador (nearly to the boarder of Nagrand), you’ll find an ever-burning lamp sitting on a ledge overlooking the sea. If you click on it, a genie-like NPC named Robin will emerge, yelling “INFINITE COSMIC POWER!” Robin only remains for a moment before shrinking back into his lamp, saying “Itty bitty living space.”
Also on the island is a large broken egg with a chair and some machinery inside — no doubt a reference to Williams’ role as Mork, an alien who arrived on earth in a similarly egg-like ship. There may yet be more to this tribute, since datamining has found additional NPCs, but whether they’ll show up on this island, somewhere else entirely, or never arrive in the game itself we don’t yet know.
