The Secret Club Behind Door 131 in BlizzardWorld


On BlizzardWorld there is a door with the number 131 on a golden plaque.DoorGolden PlaqueWhen you stay by it for a few seconds, the park's "announcer" says two things to you :PasswordMembers OnlyIt's a reference to Club 33, a highly exclusive 5 stars restaurant within the Disneyland park in California. Originally it was Walt Disney's idea as he wanted a fancy place away from the agitation where to invite the industry people visiting his park. A cozy place where they could discuss business surely.Since then it's opened its doors a bit more. However you still need a reservation and an invitation from a member of the club and you won't get in without a password or being in company of a club member. No particular meaning to the number 33, it's just the street number of the house it is in within Disneyland. If you want to know what it looks like inside, there are many videos on Youtube !However the number 131 in BlizzardWorld has a meaning. It's a reference to 131 Theory Irvine CA, the address of a big office space Blizzard moved into in 1999.CTRL+F then type 131 Theory in that link's page to find it or just scroll a bitA month ago I posted hereabout Talon's link to BlizzardWorldTL;DR : At Blizzcon 2017 Doomfist's Voice Actor Sahr Ngaujah said that he thought Doomfist would want to find out who runs the park and make a bit more money off of it. Which was a really weird answer to a simple question. Did he spill the beans on the whole Talon/BlizzardWorld situation, was it intentional, did Blizz want us to know? All 5 playable Talon Heroes are connected to BW. Doom, Widow and Reap have skins from Blizzard's franchises, Sombra hacked the arcade leaderboard and Moira's books from Oasis University are in the Diablo section and by the way, if you stay by the books you can hear scribbling.This new discovery makes my theory that Talon is running BlizzardWorld all the more plausible. Secret club, exclusive access, password. People have been wondering what was going on inside Club 33 for a while. You can find some pretty funny/worrying conspiracies about it online. And I think that's what Blizzard was going for with that easter egg. They want us to wonder what's going on behind that door and the announcer clearly allows us to imagine a secret club ! Let's get creative everyone !Whether it's a secret Talon location or not, very cool easter egg don't you think :DCredit to Discord users :Dr.Tellurybot#9614 for telling me about the voicelinesAstyr#8396 for the Club 33 referenceBinge#4750 for the Theory 131 referencePlease give proper credit if you mention this discovery in a video/another post/a podcast/a drawing/a cave painting/an ice sculpture/a recipe/a crochet/a radio show/a musical/a song/a graffiti/a poem/basically anything. Ideally, send me a private message here to let me know first. A little head's up is always nice.I have a discord where we discuss clues and the lore, feel free to join the conversation !https://ift.tt/2pEy6gv you in the comments !Little bonus : https://ift.tt/2uft4vG This website thinks 131 is a reference to an error message in World of Warcraft. Could be an extra layer to that easter egg ! via /r/Overwatch https://ift.tt/2pKAD9l
