I didn't read all the post, but this was one I did read. If you look at it this way, what isn't an easter egg? :rolleyes

I posted this elsewhere but it bears repeating - In the Ice Cave mission ending cutscene Evennia (in white) is escorted by 7 dwarves.

Just take the "Adventure with an Ally" quest while Gwen is following you. "I'm on a adventure!"

My luck it's like an LoD reference for Hacto and his island with the lava dragon. Shith has a ton of references, none which seem appropriate to me.

Any ideas?

Tough one, but I'll give it a shot.

Did a little research and this is what I came up with... bear with me it's pretty involved.

Shith: According to theosophists, "re'shith" or "rasit" (Hebrew) was the first word used by God at creation. It implies wisdom. Also, as noted earlier, "ray-sheeth" is interpreted as "beginning" or "genesis." All in all, the impression I came up with is that of a "thoughtful, considered process of creating."

Mal: "male" is Latin for "ill" as in "evil" or "vile." It also implies violence, so I figure it may interpret that way for this expression.

Hacto: Latin for "hitherto; up to this point; so far" Self explanatory

So, my thought is this: perhaps this character is issuing an implied challenge. "Shith mal hacto" could mean "You've only just begun to fight." Mixing Hebrew and Latin disturbs me, though it's not unheard of, especially in the occult: Hebrew = the language of the chosen people of God, Latin = the traditional language of the orthodox Catholic/Christian church.

Sorry for the long post. Thoughts?

Incorrect. Easter-eggs are anything added to the game that reference something else, whether they need to be unlocked or not. Sometimes they are things that just need to be "found" by going to a certain remote loaction.

The first Easter Egg in a video game was in the old Atari game Adventure, where ther author added an extra room with his own "signature".

In, Northlands -The Northest bridge has some doors that are open, and gets closed when approched. Perhaps there is some trick getting past them, or preventing them from closing. But I dont know.

I'm not going to read the thread to see if this has been said... but if you step into the back of mhenlo, you can see the signature of some person on the inside of his chest.

"Baptiste said 'Full Chakra'" I think is what what it says. An inside joke, so to speak?

You need two people for this: one to pull the lever, while the other runs through the gate to zone.

I meant another gate, thats inside Northlands. Its past the ritual site, due north.

Just noticed that "Victory is mine!" is also a quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. When King Arthur fights the Black Knight, he sais that somewhere in the battle...

Reference Egg..

Many of the collectors and various NPCs are named after the testers in the game.

Look for me in Bergen Hot springs. Daniel Smith ^_^

Dunno if this counts as an easter egg, but one of the female warrior faces HAS to be modeled after Angelina Jolie.

Referencing the 13th warrior movie.

Wassn't there something similar in Gladiator as well? When they form a circle with their shields against the chariots?

You are actually onto something there. Stefan = Steven in german.
Why use the german name of someone... could be a reference to Siegfried, a legendary teuton warrior of nordic Saga.

Nah the female warrior actually looks like a woman and not the human-fish clone named jolie..
