Amazon.com
In the Amazon Camp, there is a small room under one of the buildings. In this room is a mailbox and a large number of books. This is a fairly obvious reference to the large mail-order book distributer with the same name as the camp, "Amazon".com.
[edit]Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Deep in the mines under Kazordoon, there is a room with one Witch and seven Dwarf Guards. There is an Apple on a table, and behind a locked door is a bed - "You see a bed. There is a dark haired beauty sleeping there."
In the fairy tale Snow White, a princess hides with seven dwarves in order to save her life from the jealous queen. The queen eventually finds Snow White, and dresses up as an old woman to trick her into eating an apple. The apple is poisoned, and causes her to fall into a deep sleep.
[edit]Lord of the Rings
There are numerous references to The Lord of the Rings found throughout Tibia.
[edit]Frodo Baggins
In Thais, the name of NPC Frodo may have been taken from these books.
[edit]Samwise Gamgee
Also in Thais, the name of NPC Sam may have been taken from these books.
[edit]Khazad-dûm
Khazad-dûm is the city of dwarves in the Lord of the Rings books (later called Moria). In Tibia there is a Dwarven city called Kazordoon with same characteristics from the city created by Tolkien.
[edit]Durin
Many of the Dwarves talk of their reverence for Durin, nearly worship in some cases. This may be a reference to the history of Durin as found in the Lord of the Rings, where Durin was the eldest "Father of the Dwarves", and founded the mountain-city of Khazad-dûm.
[edit]Hard Rock Cafe
The Hard Rock Tavern in Venore is a takeoff of the Hard Rock Cafe.
[edit]The Postman/Kevin Costner
At the Postal Service Headquarters is the NPC Kevin Postner. This appears to be a reference to the actor Kevin Costner, who starred in the film The Postman. On one mission, you are going to seek out A Strange Fellow who is a magician called David Brassacre, a clear allusion to the show magician David Copperfield. On yet another mission, you need to visit the clothing designer Hugo Chief, a take-off of Hugo Boss, the outfit designer and company.
[edit]Vampires Don't Like Garlic
If you are wearing a Garlic Necklace when you talk to the npc Vladruc, he will act strange, and be reluctant to speak with you. In the most common mythologies about Vampires, they do not like garlic. In most accounts, garlic is not fatal to them but merely the odor of garlic can cause severe irritation to their skin, and direct contact can cause burns and have an "acid-like" affect.
[edit]Donald McRonald
The farmer of Thais is called Donald McRonald a clear allusion to Ronald McDonald, the clown of McDonalds, an international fast-food restaurant's chain.
[edit]The Fast and the Furious
The dogs of Venore (Lightfoot and Dustrunner) are named on a blackboard as "The fast" and "The furious," a reference to The Fast and the Furious, a film about car races from 2001.
[edit]Starsky and Hutch
The royal guards of King Tibianus are named Harsky and Stutch, which is an obvious pun at Starsky and Hutch, the '70s TV series.
[edit]Corona
In Venore, if you say "Maria" to the NPC Maria in the Hard Rock Tavern, she tells you her name is "Maria Corona," an obvious allusion to Corona, the alcoholic beverage.
[edit]The Artist Formerly Known as Prince
When talking to Oswald in Thais, if you ask him about Bozo, he will say "Isn't he the artist formerly known as the prince?"
In 1994, the musical artist Prince changed his name to an unpronouncable symbol. Since his legal name was not pronouncable, the media began to call him "the artist formerly known as Prince".
[edit]Star Trek
[edit]To boldly go where no man has gone before
When speaking with Vladruc in Venore, if you ask him about "necromancers", he will respond "Death is the final frontier. Necromancers boldly go, where no one has gone before."
This is a clear reference to Star Trek, where "Space" is the "Final Frontier", and the members of the Starship Enterprise "boldly go where no man has gone before."
[edit]Resistance is futile
One of the phrases spoken by Demons is "Your resistance is futile!" This is a very strong reference to the phrase "Resistance is futile", made popular by the Borg on Star Trek.
[edit]Real-Life Stores
[edit]Ikea
The furniture seller in Ab'Dendriel is called Ukea, clearly a reference to the international furniture seller, Ikea.
[edit]Obi

On Rookgaard, the shopkeeper Norma is an obvious reference to the German discounter, Norma.
[edit]Aldi
On Rookgaard, Al Dee seems to be a reference to the international retailer, Aldi.
[edit]Lidl

[edit]Allen
Allen Richardson, owner of furniture shop in Venore seems to se an allusion to Richardson Allen, an American furniture producer and seller.
[edit]The Federal Bureau of Investigation
Chester Kahs in Thais is the head of TBI, what is clear allusion to the FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation, an organization of the United States of America that is responsible for investigating crimes against the federal government. Morover, TBI probably has agents in other cities like Carlin and Kazordoon.
[edit]"Seasons" by Vivaldi
When speaking with Elvith in Ab'Dendriel (music instument's seller), if you ask him about "time", he will respond "Time has its own song. Close your eyes and listen to the symphony of the seasons."
The baroque musician Antonio Vivaldi wrote 4 violin concertos: La Primavera (Spring), L'Estate (Summer), L'Autunno (Autumn), and L'Inverno (Winter). Collectively referred to as "Le quattro stagioni" which is italian for "The four seasons."
[edit]Cip
When you ask Snake Eye at Outlaw Camp about CIP, he will respond: "Cip sux!". Funny example of Self-irony. CIP is the company that originated and still maintains the game of Tibia.
[edit]Graves
[edit]James Bond
You see a grave.
You read: Here lies Mr. James B.
He lost the license to live"James Bond" is a fictional secret agent for the United Kingdom. One of the most quoted James Bond films is titled "License to Kill."

NietzscheYou see a grave.
You read: Nietzsche is dead.
GodFriedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a german philosopher in the 1800's. He is most famous in scientific and philisophocal circles for his work and writings on morality, ethics, and teleology. He is most famous to the general public for his statement "God is dead", a phrase that is widely taken out of context.
The response, "Nietzsche is dead" makes these graves a prime example of chiasmus.
[edit]Bill Gates and Windows
You see a grave.
You read: Here rests Mr.Bill G.
He fell out of the windowBill Gates was the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, the software company that wrote and maintains the operating system Windows.
[edit]A Christmas Carol

One of NPCs in Venore wear a stylish xelor watch. "Xelor" in back is "Rolex".
player: time
Norbert: Now it's 8:57 pm. Did you notice this is a xelor watch I am wearing?[edit]Excalibur
The Excalibug is a very famous, magical and powerful sword in Tibia, now hidden somewhere and lost. This is a fairly obvious reference to the fabled Excalibur from medieval legends.
[edit]Teddy bear
The most desired toy in Tibia exists also in real life - famous Teddy bears. And some of them are also expensive collector's items.
[edit]Bozo the Clown
Bozo, the royal yester in Thais, is a clear allusion to Bozo the Clown, usually shortened to "Bozo" in real life.
[edit]Woody Woodpecker
Iwar Woodpecker is the furniture shopkeeper in Kazordoon. His surname and job is possibly an allusion to Woody Woodpecker, the famous animated cartoon character.
