Reference to "Congo"

I found a quest that might be a reference to an American novel "Congo" by Michael Crichton. The quest is called "Chasing A-Me 01".
In this quest, a robotic gorilla called A-Me 01 is dispatched by a female dwarf to collect data of real gorillas in Un'Goro crater. The robot eventually becomes a family member of wild gorillas. 

In "Congo", a gorilla called Amy (not robotic) helps an American expedition party find diamonds in a jungle. In the end, she left human society and starts to live with wild gorillas.







Back to Azeroth

For the first time in 7 years, I am playing World of Warcraft. 
This MMORPG is my English teacher. 
I started playing WoW in 2005. Back then, my English was terrible. I tried to avoid conversations in the game as possible as I can. I was very jumpy in fear of being talked to. 
But I gradually learned how to use English. Eventually, I joined a U.S. guild and started to run raid instances. 
Thanks to WoW, I became confident of my English. Even after stopped playing WoW, I continued to study the language. I played so many other video games from overseas and read so many English books. Thank you, Blizzard Entertainment!
