There are a lot of cultural touchstones and homages to explore in&nbsp;<em>WoW</em>. They also sort of explored the opposite with a different question, discussing which idea or technology they'd bring from real life into&nbsp;<em>WoW</em>. That one is a bit tricky to answer, because in most fantasy the answer is obviously \"a gun,\" but&nbsp;<em>WoW </em>has those already.</p><p><br></p><p>Plus, if you could bring back any character in&nbsp;<em>WoW</em>&nbsp;from the dead, which one would you pick and why? Everyone who didn't immediately say Tiffin Wrynn, I'm not mad, just disappointed.</p>","author_name":"Blizzard Watch"}
