Talk:Tesla

I would like to posit that this NPC is very likely named after the famous Russian electrical physicist Nikolai Tesla, the discoverer of alternating current(AC) electricity. It is very common practice to name anything related to electricity after this man (Tesla Cars, the defensive structures from Command and Conquer, and the coils which demonstrate electrical transmission through air at science museums), and considering these are copper coins (copper being one of the most popular and common conductive metals in the world) it seems far more likely (and appropriate, and deserving) that the NPC was named in Nikolai's honor, rather than some web-radio host.
 * ArenaNet confirmed it's after the bladeradio host. --  Shadowcrest  00:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * No, it's named after the unit of magnetic flux density! Or wait, if B is named after A, and C is named after B, does that mean that C is named after A or not?  Quizzical 00:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Considering Pokhe, Jessie Llam, Salome, and Wynn were added in the same update, as well has having a precedent in Gordon Ecker, Anja, Gorani, Aiiane, and Alaris, I think it's safe to say it's named after the player. --Macros 00:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
