Line 15:
** The Devs briefly introduced a filter to censor all homophobic comments, which rendered D34dly incomprehensible. It was gay.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Baron Wolfgang Von Epeen became the leader of Efficient Omniscience and decided to talk trash to Absolute Endgame - even after he was told that one of the developers was in their guild.
* [[Call Back]]: [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=79 Arsemode] has shown up several times, in increasingly elaborate variants. [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=88 Double arsemode]. [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=236 Quantum-arsemode!]
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Like most [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]]
** We have seen the PVP'ers heavily de-level someone by camping their corpse, though.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
** [[The Dark Chick]]: Drakoola (he's mostly off doing his own thing and rarely with the rest of the PKers), or D34dly D34dly (as the comic relief and stupid one)
* [[Flanderization]]: D34dly D34dly started out as a bit ditzy. He evolved into someone who seems to be functionally retarded about everything that isn't PvP.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: D34dly D34dly. He's pretty damn good at
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: Around 80% of the things the devs do. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Ohforf, from the start.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
*** The Noob shouts out to Everquest repeatedly. Over and over again. From the gag about the elven population dwindling because the newbies walk out of the treetop city and fall to their deaths (city of Kelethin), or when the new expansion was marketed by including a 3D bustline on the package (Firiona Vie), to the author acknowledging that one of the strips was based on an experience of "camping" a monster for 17 days...
** Allusions to movies are pretty frequent as well - there have been references to, at least, ''[[Blade Runner]]''<ref>Sir Bob's "I've seen things you newbies wouldn't believe..." speech</ref>, ''[[Doctor Strangelove]]'', ''[[Forbidden Planet]]''<ref>the id-monster</ref>, ''[[The Graduate]]''<ref>Cyborella's attempted seduction of Ohforf</ref>, ''[[The Warriors (film)|The Warriors]]''<ref>the PK guilds chasing the Outcasts</ref> and probably some others too.
** ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'': [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=236 Quantum entanglement and exploits]. [http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=389 seen on a dev's computer]. And the [http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=412 cofounder] as well.
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Apparently, the lead dev trying to outdo ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' in [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|bigger shoulder pads]]. One rejected design had cranes on it to assist lifting [[BFS|epic weapons]].
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: The lead developer, and several players.
