    Okay but the Beacon of Ages Portal is so fucking cool. Playing for 10 years and I hate to admit it, but you got me with the majority of these.

    I just stumbled upon this dialogue in a tavern in Queensdale:
    'Why do you think the centaurs are attacking us?'
    'It's the apples.'
    'Come on, seriously; how long has this war been going for?'
    "I am serious. It's the apples. They are worth fighting for.'

    Another one you might not know: in the mistlock there is a npc right of the bar using a hair style not available to players. Talking to her, she thinks you are just a part of the mists. You can bet with her that you will remember her. Leaving the mistlock and re-entering, talk to her again. Your character will tell her "see, told you so"... And she has no clue what you are talking about, since shes just a part of the mists herself. Another fun dialog is in the human home instance first door on the left. Really confused npc on why you are breaking into peoples homes looking for treasure.

    I came across the Lion's Arch dance party by complete accident when I was new about two years ago.
    I don't remember what I was initially doing in that part of Lion's Arch (maybe some kind of achievement or living world story), but when I came across those dancing NPCs, I remember just standing for a bit really confused; then danced too for a bit before leaving.

    I can't imagine the feeling of discovering these easter eggs naturally. Imagining being into music and just tinkering on that organ, trying to play what the GW theme, and skadoosh! The clam cracks open and reveals a chest. In GW 1, imagine just being an avid dancer, breaking out the /dance in every engagement, and suddenly one of the final bosses starts dancing with you. Thanks to the developers for making the GW universe so incredibly magical.

    I knew about half of them, "The Beacon of Ages Portal" mind is a secret achiv so anyone using the API could see/find it. The pipe organ one is the most surprising, i knew you could play it but didn't realize the song/chest... makes me wonder if the one in Ebonhawke assuming I'm remembering correctly also has something. (scrolled down, oh someone mentioned it) I remember in old LA there was a bar you could hear "Bash the Dragon" being played... I have to finish LS1 replay and see if its still there, not all that sure its a secret but /shrug.

    There used to be sooo many secret areas that roleplayers would use. Unfortunately people would complain about the fact that people could use them and thus so many are blocked :( RIP Rata Inquest Base, Uninstanced Priory base. I shall miss you.
