* PromotedFanboy: Several fans have been immortalized by Blizzard by making references to them, sometimes in the TCG as Alamo and Leeroy Jenkins, whose antics are legendary amongst the fans; and sometimes in the game itself like Maghia and Volde, who were two of the best cosplayers at Blizzcon 09, with items named after them. Notable Fansite creators as well -- Breanni, the Pet Shop NPC in Dalaran, is based on the character of the go to site for Minipet info.
** Toskk, a player known for creating a calculator for min-maxing feral druid DPS, had [[http://www.wowhead.com/item=50670/toskks-maximized-wristguards#comments a pair of melee leather wristguards]] named after him.
** Beside Toskk, 3 other players got the same treatment. Rogue theorycrafter [[http://www.wowhead.com/item=50021 Aldriana]], Warrior theorycrafter [[http://www.wowhead.com/item=50072 Landsoul]], and creator of a program called "Rawr" that allows all classes to explore item options, [[http://www.wowhead.com/item=50067 Astrylian]], all got drops named after them in the Icecrown Citadel 25 raid instance. Better yet, all of these except Landsoul's helm were the best items for their item slot for many classes up until the Cataclysm expansion.
** 10 year old boy Ezra "Ephoenix" Chatterton got quite a few references thanks to a Make-a-Wish foundation visit to Blizzard headquarters. He got [[http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=31986 an item named after him]], and got to create [[http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11129/kyles-gone-missing a quest in the Tauren starting area.]] The quest even has you find a dog with the same name as his. The NPC has the rare honor of having voice acting, all clips done by Ezra, and surprisingly deep for a 10 year old boy. The unexpected questioning of "Can you help me find my dog?" is known to frightened many a player. Thankfully, Blizzard had the foresight to make the NPC unkillable by alliance players. Ezra passed away in October 2008.

**Chris Metzen The gear you acquire is all ColorCodedForYourConvenience, based on the color the name of the item appears when you hover your mouse over it; uncommon items are referred to as "greens", rare are "blues", epics are "purples", and Legendary items are "oranges". Good luck on getting an orange, and no one beyond level ten or fifteen would willingly use a common or "white" item.
** When thegame Death Knight class was released in terms ''Wrath Of The Lich King'', one of voicework. Humorously his voices include Thrall their spells was "Death Grip". What it basically did was yank an enemy player over to you so you could give him a face-full of your sword. In ''Cataclysm'', priests got a new spell known as "Leap Of Faith", which did the exact same thing (yanking a player towards you), only on friendly players. People thought "Leap Of Faith" was a stupid name, and King Varian Wrynn.so, unofficially renamed it "Life Grip". Even the devs use the nickname on occasion.
