Even demon hunters need a vacation sometimes! This somehow evolved from "what if I drew Illidan in a sweater?" to "but what if he went to a THEME PARK??"

LMAO I just told this Mercy in QP I'd lick her staff in thanks for her healing instead of being Lucio on blizzard world and she stood still stared at me. Then each member of the team that was subsequently being healed/ rezzed joined voice chat and said "Mercy I too, shall lick thine staff in thanks, for you rezzed me on the morrow" Then we won after sayin ya yeet to the mercy right, then one of the dudes was like ok we gotta take turns licking the staff cause we won.

Then the mercy (SMOLPUPPER gamertag) got POTG and we were all like YESSSSSSS LICK THAT STAFFFFF AND SHE WAS LIKE THANK YOU AND ASKED US TO join up as a team!

I left of course since I started it all and was ashamed lmao

Door 131 on BlizzardWorld

On Blizzardworld in the World of Warcraft section, there is a wooden door with a golden plaque and on it, the number 131.

Here is the door

Here is the plaque

When you get close to the door, the male park announcer says one of three things (there seems to be a timer of roughly 30 seconds between each voiceline and he says them at random, not following a noticeable pattern, you can get the same one multiple times in a row):

Staff only

...password?

Members only

(CLICK on the links, they’ll take you to 5s videos I recorded where you can hear each line)

I checked the game files of BlizzardWorld, those are the only voicelines linked to this door. The rest are general map flavor announcements/private jokes about Blizzard’s games featured in the park.

All of this is a reference to Disneyland’s own Club 33. A “secret” (although now well known, the word got out) club within Disneyland resorts reserved for an exclusive type of clientele. You need to be a member of the resort’s Club to be allowed in and need to give a password at the door, which looks like any other door in the park. Inside, you will find a starred restaurant, tons of Disney-related memorabilia and a VIP staff like in a luxury hotel, you can see what it looks like inside online, there are videos on youtube, just search for Disneyland Club 33. It is the only place in Disneyland that will serve you alcohol.

Originally Walt Disney wanted a VIP area where to invite investors/important people when they visited his park so he ordered Club 33 to be built. He wanted somewhere quiet to talk business and relax, an area off-limits for the general public. From the outside, it looks like there’s nothing special going on inside the house(s). It’s just one building among many, just like in BlizzardWorld.

And it’s exactly what is happening with this 131 plaque on that door and the park’s voice asking you for a password. Behind that 131 door is an exclusive club. 

Why 131? It’s a reference to  131 Theory Irvine CA, the address of the first “big” office space Blizzard moved into back in 1999 as you can see here in this timeline of Blizzard’s history since it’s creation , just press CTRL and F and then type “131″ inside the search bar, it’ll take you directly to it. Or scroll until you find it, if you’re brave ;D

Allgamers.com thinks 131 is a reference to an error message you can see in World of Warcraft in case of a corrupt data file. 

Quote :

“ This is probably the most obscure of the easter eggs in Blizzard World, but anyone familiar with World of Warcraft's doom-spelling error messages will appreciate the joke here. Error 131 specifically referred to a "corrupt data file" which plagued users around five years ago and intermittently since with complaints of missing or broken files crucial for launching the MMO. The joke here being that this door doesn't actually lead anywhere, as a prop door, and therefore its contents are missing or don't exist. “

This easter egg could have a double meaning, it would be so cool !

I wonder what happens behind those closed doors. Probably something shady, it’s Overwatch afterall :)

If you’re open minded and if you enjoy wasting time hunting for the many obscure things the devs have put in the world of Overwatch, I have an all new discord server :D
