Hello folks of mmochamp, me and an ingame friend were discussing this (arguing i guess you could say) and we cannot come to a conclusion, i say that it seems more likely to be a direct reference to the real person and his album. but my friend says that seeing how he travels north to org, and something about the cat talking, that its more likely a direct reference to the thread, which the main character in the thread is probly a reference to the real person. keep in mind that this is about direct reference, doesn't matter if the story references the guy anyways.
Here is a link to the thread if anyone is wondering http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...29926&pageNo=1
