* [[Clingy MacGuffin]]: Sparadrap's enhanced by Tenshirock staff in Season 2. It survives his avatar being banned and recreated and a location that is supposed to permanently erase a random eqipped item belonging any player that enters it. He actually never gets rid of it, it just gets [[Brought Down to Normal]] at some point.

* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]] : Yellow cursors for the Empire, Red ones for the Coalition, blue ones for Game Masters and green ones for the Order. Loosing all reputation points will make the player's cursor gray, marking them as "neutral", actually meaning all three factions can PVP them, as well that all NPCs become hostile. On the flip side, players from any faction can be the helping hand if they wish.

** [[Good Colours Evil Colours]] / [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]] : All player characters have a cursor above their head with their name and a different colour depending on the faction to which they belong. Players of the Coalition, the opposite faction to the Empire, have red cursors and wear a lot of black and red. Empire and later Order players seem to be much more diversified, to the extent of including characters wearing red and black (Omega Zell's second and third outfit, Gaea's fourth outfit, Heimdal until he gets his blue tunic, Fantöm). Justifications go from [[Real Life]] [[Limited Wardrobe]] to character's class (black ''is'' the right colour for an assassin, no matter which faction it's in)... or the fact that you just wouldn't want to mess with them. The recurrent Game Master also wears black.

* [[Time Skip]]: The transition between Season 1 and Season 2 is actually the only one averting it. [[Word of God]] has a full year pass between Season 2 and 3 (transition from ''Horizon 1.1'' to ''Horizon 2.0'', the group's level goes from early twenties to early fifties). A smaller one happened between Season 3 and 4 (ongoing in may 2012), with a switch to ''Horizon 2.2'' and Noob guild members being in the late nineties in terms of level (one of them even hits 100 in episode 4).

** Deconstructed : Fantöm is the third player to hold that position since ''Horizon'' got released. The second book indicates that the first was Spectre, followed by his student Amaras after he left, then Fantöm after he beat the ultimate boss of the time on his own. Since Amaras is still around and now number two, he frequently gets challenged by him and go close to losing to him at least once. Also, fear and respect are not the only reactions that the position generates: annoying fans and blackmailers exist too.
