Lots of references to different pop culture stuff in EQ.

There are lots of subtle references all over the place - Drogan Obsidian Dagger, for instance. Drogon is Daenerys' main dragon, obsidian is often used interchangeably with Dragonglass, which causes the White Walkers to shatter, with Effect: Obsidian Shatter. Come to think of it, Droga could just be a play on Drogo. I notice stuff like this in EQ all the time but seldom remember it. In any case, EQ is hugely derivative of J.R.R. Tolkien and G.R.R. Martin.

Too bad all this stuff isn't compiled I would find it pretty interesting just to go through all the possible subtle references that Everquest has in it.

Weird. I always thought Everquest took more inspiration from Star Trek

But they there together! What are the chances? Plus, I never met a Sansa or a Joffrey.

I think this actually proves that the creators of Everquest read Game of Throne books.
