Patch 3.3: More community members honored with item names

Ones we've seen so far:
- Maghia's Misguided Quill - Named after the well-known cosplayer who came to BlizzCon as Alexzstrasza and the Eredar Twins.
- Toskk's Maximized Wristguards - Named after the player who maintains a popular druid DPS calculator.
- Aldriana's Gloves of Secrecy - Named after the player who maintains a popular rogue DPS spreadsheet.
I'm always happy when I see items like this in the game. They show that somebody out there is paying attention to the players that are making an impact in the community, and that's good enough for me.
Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.

Did Alamo ever get anything named after him? Would love to see a druid tanking staff named after him with the inscription: "Bare 4 tank."

Not that I can recall, but he did get an honorable mention in the WoW Trading Card Game.

Hah epic card. On topic though these in-game items rock. Always a nice touch for Blizz to officially recognize it's players with these game related items, cards, titles, etc.

Where the hell are the Keydarr +threat rogue daggers already?

Alamo is also in the joke/tribute: Dance Battle System shows up with an all druid team:

I hope someday see a Kanon (from wowthinktank.blogspot) for all his great work.

Now they need a book off-hand named after Jarulf!

Never heard of any of them. Give us links to these people, so that they can emerge from obscurity.

"Toskk's Maximized Wristguards - Named after the player who maintains a popular druid DPS calculator."
Actually Toskk quit back in august, but it's still really awesome to see someone in the feral community honored like this. Most ferals out there know who this guy is, big congrats to him :)

Awww...now I want an item named after me.
It would be a spellblade:
500 Stam
600 Int
300 Spirit
2000 Spell Power
30% Crit chance (note: that's % CHANCE not Raiting [fuck rating])
40% Haste
14% Hit
1 Red Socket
1 Yellow Socket
Socket bonus: +20 Spell Power
Use effect: Summons Beer and Hookers for the whole raid.
Unfortunately, I haven't done anything noteworthy outside the game so this weapon of awesomeness will never see the light of day. QQ

I'd rather have a tank version of that.
Precision Nov 14th 2009 5:08PM
wow go aldriana lol
Max Nov 14th 2009 5:09PM
I agree with Nieker !
Landsould definately deserved an item, even more than those who get them imo :P
WTB Landsoul's Brainsmasher :D

Yowza! Anyone brave enough to dress up like that and parade in front of several thousand people deserves something named after them. Although, I have to wonder why Blizz felt her quill was misguided. Hmmm.
Clydtsdk-Rivendare Nov 14th 2009 6:31PM
My guess being that she's cosplaying, that is, acting like something she's not.
Bubsa Nov 14th 2009 9:00PM
Not even that good of a cosplay.
Stinks of Indiana Jones 2!
Clydtsdk-Rivendare Nov 14th 2009 9:43PM
...in retrospect, maybe it was misguided because it's yet another hit trinket?
