Commentaire de Soak

Il dit entre autres :

« C'est entièrement leur faute à ces imbéciles de soldats de l'Alliance. Il fallait qu'ils aillent construire leurs tours juste derrière ma ferme. »
« Je te paierai volontiers mardi pour avoir un bon steak aujourd'hui. »
« Quelques pièces pour un pauvre aveugle ?... Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, je ne suis pas aveugle ?... JE NE SUIS PAS AVEUGLE ! JE VOIS ! C'est un miracle ! »

« C'est entièrement leur faute à ces imbéciles d'orcs. Il fallait qu'ils réduisent ma ferme en cendres ! »
« Je ferai reluire votre armure pour une simple pièce de cuivre. »
« La charité ? »
« Vous n'auriez pas une ou deux pièces ? »
« Un coup de main à un pauvre malheureux ? »

Commentaire de entropicdragon

One of the things this NPC says is: "It's all their fault, stupid Alliance army. Just had to build their towers right behind my farm."

For those of you that did not play Warcraft III, this is a reference to a tactic that involved building Farms surrounding your defensive towers so that enemy melee units could not reach the towers but would have to destroy the farms first before being able to attack them.

Commentaire de Tyrsenus

He also says "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." A reference to Wimpy from Popeye who would frequently utter this phrase.

Commentaire de nerzul5

His name also refer to a n00b= Nabb

Commentaire de Sempra

Old Topper McNabb was unfortunate enough to have his Farm overrun by the Horde. As previously stated by Entropicdragon, he blames the Alliance army for his current state. He stands in the narrow path at the back of the Trade District, begging for money and hamburgers. I'm sure some people would, but you can't. And I'm quite sure WoW doesn't have a hamburger item yet.

Commentaire de Sylvie

He also says: "Shine yer armor fer a copper."

Commentaire de Cross88

He has an amusing dialogue bit there he claims to be blind, seems to get caught, and then claims his being able to see is a miracle.

Commentaire de noija

Can you find his farm anywhere in WoW ? :P
Would be interesting to see.

Commentaire de ThunderSS

Maybe hes farm is somewhere around Plaguedlands or Tirisfal Glades where are lots of destroyed farms and some Alliance Towers (some still standing, some destroyed). I guess hes farm was destroyed by Undead army, probably by Forsakens when they attacked the city and claimed it as their new capital, Undercity.

This is just a guess :)

Commentaire de braatenen

There is a Oil related company called McNabb Marketing Resources =D

Commentaire de lolser

im gonna post a pic of what i believe lagerjockey thinks his farm is lol

Commentaire de chaosgoat

They must have deleted it, because I swam all over there and couldn't find it.

Commentaire de L33tsauce

"Spare some change for a poor blind man? ...What do you mean I'm not blind? ...I'M NOT BLIND! I CAN SEE! It's a miracle!"

Commentaire de awebz

I play on a PVE realm and have auction toons parked in Stormwind and Orgrimar.
I'm tempted to just permanently park my 70 horde rogue in Stormwind right by Topper so that each time I need to do auctioning on my alliance toon I can log in the rogue first and kill Topper.
Then at least I can have 5 minutes of peace and quiet to do auctioning at the Stormwind AH, without being bombarded by his incessant banter.
Was funny the first 100 times but he talked like every 10 seconds -_-

Commentaire de Cleptor

Speaking of Newman's Landing. A friend of mine and I went there a few days ago before Patch 3.0.2 and all was as described here, a dock, a hut and some rubbish on the ground.

Now there's a new NPC there named <Hochadmiral "Shelly" Jorrik> (German name, haven't got the English client, sorry). I expect that would probably translate to <High admiral "Shelly" Jorrik. He's a booty faction vendor/repair NPC guarded by two regular Booty Bay style guards.

Haven't found him in Wowhead, Zam, Thottbot or anywhere else yet. I have a screenshot of him and his two guards (and my druid twink ^^) but I don't want to post it here, because it doesn't show Topper.

Commentaire de avenn

Also says "Help a poor bloke out?"

Commentaire de MoshJosh

Today, I noticed Topper saying something new.

"It's all their fault, stupid orcs. Had to burn my farm to the ground."

Commentaire de Cyberbot

This fellow seems to be a reference to alot of things.
But one thing that I noticed was his name, McNabb. Noob is often abridged to "nab" and who has never met a noob begging for gold, just like this guy.

McNabb = nab, whining and begging for gold with phrases like: "Help a poor bloke out?" and "Alms for the poor?"

Just a wild guess.

Commentaire de MagnusGL

Well, I support your guess, Cyber.

In correspondence to post under me along with above me: Maybe its a merge between the two? Blizzard are huge on references and the like.

Commentaire de Stansdeath

Actually in that movie Eddie Murphy claimed to have been a war veteran and lost his legs in the war. Then the police come over and lift him up out of the wooden crate that he was riding around in and he claims that it's a miracle that his legs are back. Topper claiming that he is blind and then getting caught and saying that it's a miracle is not a reference to anything since it is a thing that has been done in a lot movies. But nice movie and cool that you remembered that since it was barely one scene.

Commentaire de syni

He also says "Could ye spare some coin?"

Commentaire de Ramsay

In the 1995 Discworld game there's a beggar in a town not unlike Stormwind that utters "Alms for the poor?". Obviously it's nothing more than just a coincidence, but then again that game was badass.

Commentaire de yxes

His first name *TOPPER* reminds me of copper, nabb is like noob so Copper MCnoob :)

Commentaire de lovkyne

i'll give to him few of golds or silver, but how i will do it? and what will he do except his stupid crap talkings?

Commentaire de temu92

Tired of him spamming all the time? Very well then. Download this addon I made and you won't hear a word from him again.

Commentaire de MilknessDalvengy

Maybe my computer is messing up, but I'm a new Death Knight yet to talk to the King, and I took a trip around Stormwind. His level says to be -1. Anyone want to try and confirm it?

Commentaire de quaninter

Alms for the poor? is a reference to the movie called "Around the world in 80 days" when Mr.Fogg lost his belongings and had to beg for money

Commentaire de Ivon

FYI: if you're tired of him just disable Creature Say

1. hover over chat box till the General tab shows up
2. right click it -> Filters -> Settings -> Categories (Other) -> Creature Messages (Say)
3. now you can have some chat-silence with no need for addons

Commentaire de zevo

Oddly enough, ol' Topper blames the orcs and not the alliance in 3.3.2.

I caught him saying this in Stormwind:

"It's all their fault, stupid orcs. Had to burn my farm to the ground."

Commentaire de StryderJMatthews

What in the world, if you look, it says he has 6c worth of wealth! I mean, that's enough for half a piece of cheese! Why does he keep begging for my gold, bejeezem.

Commentaire de Chao

Number 3 is possibly in reference too robin hood / monty python.

Commentaire de MisterRik

I was going to guess that this guy's farm was what is now called The Dead Acre in Westfall.

Sentinel Tower is right "behind" it; orcs coming through the Dark Portal would have traveled from Badlands through Swamp of Sorrows -> Deadwind Pass -> Duskwood and across the river into Westfall. Coming from that direction, the farm at The Dead Acre would have been between them and the Sentinel Hill tower.

OTOH, WowWiki says the farm was burned by the Defias, though I haven't seen anything in-game that says that (though there are some Defias mobs in and around the farmhouse), so that may be as much speculation as my own idea is.

Commentaire de kabookiejoe

alm for the poor reminds me of

Ex-Leper: Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper?
Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?
Ex-Leper: That's right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.
Brian: Well, what happened?
Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.
Brian: Cured?
Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!
Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.

Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?
Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the ass to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

Commentaire de tuckmuck203

I hope this guy dies when Deathwing destroys Stormwind.

Commentaire de B3y0nd

I have grown an odd fondess for this NPC. Similar to how people feel about Hogger or Mankrik. I hope Blizz gives him some sort of love in Cataclysm.

Commentaire de MeFTW1337

McNoob

Commentaire de Tolki

I am so depressed that Deathwing didn't kill him. In fact, most of Stormwind got updated, but he still sits there, spamming your chat, exactly where he always has been, completely unchanged. The act of doing nothing has never been crueler.

I will rip out his heart. After the deed is done, I, standing over him, will force our eyes to meet, and with voracity, savageness, and unbridled joy, I will begin to eat it as if I had eaten nothing else before in my life. After the deed is done, I will crouch down until I am inches from his face, my own smeared with blood, bits of heart, and covered from ear to ear with a hellish grin. And I will whisper into his ear:

"Your soul is mine, McNabb. Draw your last breath, so it too can feed my insatiable thirst to bring suffering upon you. What you feel now is but a taste of your anguish during your eternal damnation."

As he does as I told him to do, I will take him by the hair on his scalp, and drag his mauled corpse through Trade District, to be mummified and forever kept as a trophy in my living room. The crowd I have inevitably gathered will silently part for me, until one man near the front will begin to clap slowly. The noise will steadily grow and crescendo into deafening applause, as I walk away and raise one triumphant, bloody fist into the air.

Commentaire de eltassle3

Why do you guys care about this guy anyways? He is just an annoying npc.

Commentaire de Hannes37

The last name could also be a referance to the american football player Donovan McNabb.

Commentaire de herrojima

btw, he can be healed and buffed.

too bad he can't be silenced

XD

Commentaire de Nortset

Topper McNabb, more like Copper McNoob!

Commentaire de Etchnasty

Topper Mcnabb is a veteran farmer of one of Azeroth's most deadly international fighting force the world had ever seen, but fell in love with a tauren prostitute and settled down then, an a-hole hero did a quest and killed him thus leaving him broke and left for dead on the streets of Stormwind.

Commentaire de Crazyrussian

Wish we had the option to hand him like 5 gold, for example, which would "help him out" and in a way, put him on ignore forever. Other players would still see what he says, though, until they help him out as well. In other words, you give him 5 gold and you never see him say anything again.

Commentaire de deatheater7551

Horde gets Gamon, Alliance gets a stupid hobo.

Commentaire de altm3th0d225

He is Donovan Mcnabb in 20 years

Commentaire de Vythrin

Am I the only one that wants to pay him a few gold?

Commentaire de Swifty

Man, they really need to turn this guy into a raid boss.

Commentaire de Pipkins

I'd give him a copper to go and get some food down him but I know he'll just run straight to the Barbers and get his fabulous haircut done again.

Commentaire de Romire

You would think he least be improved from being poor a tad

Commentaire de aprista

During the build-up to WotLK, I managed to turn into a zombie and kill him. I had to try a few times because the guards, if there were any left, would kill you most times before you got up there.

It was totally worth it!
