Yes they take it too far. It's okay to have a few Haris Pilton NPC's or a few clouded references such as the orginal Hemet Nessingwary questlines or the Legend of Zelda questlines but when it becomes a major instance in the game (Zul'Aman) or a major faction and questline like DEHTA then it is too far. Simply renaming the DEHTA faction and making it less of a reference to PETA would make it a whole lot easier to swallow.

There are plenty of Darrowshire type questlines. (my personal favorite.) I just don't see how a little tongue and cheek humor is taking it too far. I think one of the reasons that WOW is so successful with so many people is that it hosts a fantastic amount of diversity in game content.

Yep, I agree with both you and Daniel. Humor should be a sprinkled accent in a game like this, not the main course. It should be used sparingly, like salt: a little goes a long way.
