i agree with neostar the girl Dorothy is like the Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz she gives ruby slippers,she is from Kansas, and her quest is called The Yellow Brick Road.
lol yeah when i read this i just thought "your right", but some how he also reminds me of malistar. well thats my thought but any way well done seeing that! :-)
malistaire is cyrus drake's twin, so it would be likely that you thought of both of them
I thought of him as Snape when he made you: a) Get his laundry(?!) and b) sent you with a letter to ask if you could be expelled!!!!!! Man, this guy's annoying.
i do not think of cyrus drake as being annoying! i like cyrus drake! even if he wanted me expelled. :(
I just realized Krokopatra is a scaley remake of the possibly kinder cleopatra. And I bet DS is based on Pompeii, the greek city buried alive. MS is acient china/japan. KT is acient egypt. WC is ... well you got me. GH is obviously Norse related. Last, MB is 19th century england. BTW, WIZARD101 RULES!
USA! USA!
amber650
lvl 17 pyromancer and proud of it!
(in game name is Amber Drake)
i agree wc is based on harry potter i heard candy land is a world
Definitely! However I would think Snape would be more of a death professor than storms.
Good catch!
Yes, and in the same manner that Snape wanted to be the professor of the dark arts, Drake has always lived in the shadow of Malistaire... the comparison fits.
You may notice that a lot of the quest names aretongue in cheek word plays on pop culture. It was done deliberately.
i also saw a quest called "not in kansas anymore" where you find Mr. TOTO and the tin man.
Yeah, and your reward (wait for it!).... Ruby Slippers from a girl named Dorothy ?
Dorothy GALE at that. Get it? "Gale" as in a very strong wind!
Oh, there are so many jokes and puns throughout this game, it's hard to keep up with them. There are also many, many allusions to historical incidents, people, and places throughout the game.
I'm certain that the KI team must be made up, in large part, by people who are of my generation, because so many of the easter eggs refer to pop culture in the 1970s and 1980s.
It is obvious that cyrus drake is based of professor snape. think about it. CYRUS, Syrius. SNAPE, drake. and if you look around the world of wizard 101, many spoofs can be seen. for one, a unicorn way quest is called "saving private o ryan" which is obviously a spoof of the war movie "saving private ryan". So im pretty sure the developers meant for the resembalance.
Nice eye for noticing it though.
Incidentally, it's Severus (or maybe Snivellus, I liked it better) Snape, not Syrius. Sirius Black is nothing like Cyrus Drake.
i though sirius black looked more like malistaire except malistaire is way taller like 11 feet and he has no beard obviously :?
, so maybe cyrus was created by snape :P lol
