Why no world of warcraft?

[Xannidel]

All the dances are all part of different cultures.

In pre Cata in the Barens there was a ghost NPC ontop of a hill and that was a reference to a developer (I believe) who passed on

There is a mount that kael'Thas drops that was created for a little boy from the make-a-wish foundation...i think

In the Tauren starting area there is a cliff and on that cliff are a bunch of npc critters and if you let them go on their daily business then some of them suddenly grow a bit bigger and wear helmets and get weapons and duel.

The giant goblin statue in Booty Bay is filled with treasure

I am pretty sure some quest names are also references.
