[tobindax]

those are game created characters.

noice.

Some programmer out there is a closet DS9 fan...

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Wow...it's a regular Dax Cornucopia!

I wonder if all of those together like that could get him a copyright infringement suit?

There are also Geordi and Scotty homage characters elsewhere in the game, if memory serves.

 

[prince_david]

Yeah if you go to Tanaris in Gadgetzan Geordi is there by the Transporter in the north-east part of town

 

[Defcon]

I think there is a O'Brien homage character as well IIRC.

i'm pretty sure all the (major) trek engineers are represented in WoW... maybe Belanna (sp?) is missing... if so, i'm sure she'll show up at some point...

in the end, the guys that work on WoW are fans of lots of things, and you'll see references pop up from time to time... star wars, firefly, star trek, starship troopers, buffy, aliens...
