The whole world was hit with a wave of sadness when news broke that Robbin Williams had passed away. Since learning of the news, players across the gaming community have petitioned to get memorials in different games. The first was begging Nintendo to get an NPC in the new Zelda game, though it doesn’t look likely it will happen. Players have now found a hint to what could be a big memorial in World of Warcraft instead.

During the beta for Warlords of Draenor, players stumbled upon numerous NPC character models that appear under the name Robin and seem to play homage to Williams’ characters. There is also a big Genie tribute in the game.

A lamp can be found on an island near Talador. By interacting with “the ever burning lamp”, a genie will appear, the lines he recites are important lines from Disney’s Aladdin. “Infinite Cosmic Power” and “itty bitty living space”. This is a sure fire nod to the late actor and is bound the keep his light burning on and a great way to pay homage to a World of Warcraft gamer.
