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.

Commento di 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.

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.

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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 109604

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

Commento di 81147

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 :)

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

Commento di lolser

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

Commento di 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!"

Commento di 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 -_-

Also says "Help a poor bloke out?"

Commento di MoshJosh

Today, I noticed Topper saying something new.

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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 131638

He also says "Could ye spare some coin?"

Commento di 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.

Commento di yxes

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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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?

Commento di 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

Commento di 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

Commento di 492938

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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di tuckmuck203

I hope this guy dies when Deathwing destroys Stormwind.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 684644

McNoob

Commento di 711790

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

Commento di Hannes37

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

Commento di 155390

btw, he can be healed and buffed.

too bad he can't be silenced

XD

Commento di Nortset

Topper McNabb, more like Copper McNoob!

Commento di 802037

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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 09mackinnonr

patch 4.3 He's at the Darkmoon Faire island on the Darkmoon Boardwalk

Commento di Ballybog

/emote hands Topper McNabb a job application

Commento di Noxheart

Commento di 268743

He is Donovan Mcnabb in 20 years

Commento di Vythrin

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

Commento di Swifty

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

Commento di Romire

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

Commento di 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!

Commento di Hvatum

I pickpocketed him during the Rogue quest The Imposter. He had 1 copper.
