If it wasn't for me, JRR Tolkein would've had a hard time selling books.
Congratulations Ensign. I must say it is clearly in your honour. Think how much you have contributed to the Guild Wars community. Without you, I'd probably be no different in any way, but it's allways nice to say "Without you...".
Congratulations Ensign. You're famous...

All those names look quite a stretch to me 
Certainly not as clear cut as Kakumei in Kaineng or that Enadiz (Zidane) boss

Characters in the game have previously been given names after Alpha Testers, and this isn't the only case in the Nightfall Campaign.
Custodian, JR, Sadi, and LuLu all have bosses named aptly too. Doubt it's a coincidence.
Don't know why JR does though

Titan Chrae
They named Sanctum Cay after my monk "Sanctum Chrae". Oh wait...it was just a coincidence since Sanctum was my first character and the game was created before my monk.
Maybe Imperial Sanctum is named after him. ;-)
I do believe high profile community members get immortalized in the game. It is part of what makes GW fun!.

They need to name a new continent after XOO. After all, the guild is big enough to fill up a small nation.
Bane of Worlds
Sure make a villain or boss after me 
JK
but seriously, it's good to know that NPCs named after our beloved mods and game testers:P

That's nothing. they named the skills NPC in st anjeka (or whatever that is) after my REAL name. Only they changed a bit the spelling due to copyright

My real life name is Abbadon.

Count to Potato
They shoulda made that boss lvl 31 with the craziest skills and even this automatic death skill, then it would be a true immortalization
Sir Skullcrasher
lol.. imagine a level 31 Necro boss called Guru of Souls! Guru = Guildwarsguru!

pvp perhaps?
so who's next in line of being a perma-part of GW? which mod or admin or tester?

I have seen several Ensigns in the game. I think that the use in Nightfall is titular, like Admiral Kirk or Captain Pickard.

It would be so neat if that were the case, you know...

If I was Gaile I wouldn't confirm either, stuff like this makes the game more fun to play! I think most here are just mad they don't have chars named after them... obviously the people who might have said mobs named after them had an impact on the GW world... I don't see how this couldn't be feasible.
Makkert
Who will be the next to be immortalised...?
Who can guess...?

Blind Rage
They based the skill "Keystone Signet" on me because it is useless, exactly like me.
Skuld
Oh sorry, forgot Gaile's opinion is law.. don't be an ass Manic ~.~

if people would stop using every excuse they find to make inane spam threads
maybe the op didn't know what Ensign was but after the 10th guy posting it was most likely just a coincidence...

Others have been found as well, there's a thread on team-iQ about it...this seems like too much to be a coincidence to me.
But yeah, all in favor of changing Ensign Charehli to an elementalist with Glyph of Sacrifice and Meteor Shower?
/signed
Personally, I like to believe the devs named the bosses for the players. Shows how much they care! ^^

Seen Freyas, and a few other people in Alpha around (though generally the NPC's are named using real names rather than alias', so unless you're in the test or know people who are in Alpha's real names, chances are you won't notice it).
