I'd love the option to reclaim the gnome capital. I don't know how they want it to work out though. Is it going to be a quest line or a world event? Probably a world event because a dramatic change in the world should be available to all players. But I remember the DK storyline so this is probably not going to happen... .-= mage leveling guide´s last blog ..Frost Mage Leveling Guide – How To Level Fast And Easy =-.

If they do reclaim Gnomer as a capital city for the gnomes, I hope those engineers work hard on making the layout make sense! Can you imagine needing a white punch card to get to the inn and a yellow punch card to get to the class trainers? Eek! :P

At the very least, they could put in some street signs!

I’m wondering if the Inn in Westfall will ever get a new roof come Cataclysm.

When I read that, I immediately went off and race changed my death knight to a gnome. If we’re going to reclaim gnomeregon I’m damned well doing it as an axe wielding pink pigtailed undead death gnum.

Can’t wait ^^

I would love to see Gnomer get retaken in the same way we opened up The Isle of QD. I think having everyone working together and slowly retaking/purging/cleansing parts of the city would be great.

Hey Bear! (and Cass and Co.!)
Long time lurker, glad to see you are still posting. When I saw the posted achivements etc. on MMO-Champ my first thought was Isle Of Quel’Danas. You know? Your server has to gradually work up to being able to save those pesky gnomes (For the Horde!) or trolls’ home cities. It would be a good quest hub area for dailies / lore development like we had at the end of BC leading into the Wrath opening events. Anywho ~ sorry for the rambling post, but I R excited!

Sounds pretty interesting. I saw that yesterday and was a bit surprised about the changes. A troll city would be pretty neat too. Poor trolls don't have a city :( They just might get one though, there are changes inc to the Horde too from what I understand, maybe we will hear about those next. Great ideas Bear! .-= kaozz´s last blog ..As The World Turns- Allods =-.

If anywhere in the Eastern Kingdoms, I think it would be most sensible for the Darkspear trolls to form their city from the devastated ruins of the Gurubashi and Amani (lore-wise, these were overrun by players who slew Hakkar and Zul’jin respectively). Though I don’t think the Blood Elves would be very pleased with yet more trolls being their neighbours lol.

I might be reading too much into the whole thing with goblins in Cataclysm, but supposedly they come from the Isle of Kezan which is located none too far from Zandalar (capital of the Zandalari trolls). The close proximity makes me wonder… More enemy trolls for new toons to train up on? Or an end-game content?

Also… remember the Shatterspear Village (aka Dancing Troll Village)? It’s right beside Moonglade. With our dear Darkspears venturing into druidism, I’d like to think the Shatterspears would have picked up *something* from Moonglade druids and pass on the knowledge to Darkspears.

Gah. I ranted off again about trolls >_<; My apologies. *slinks off*

Bear Pelt, when I first started writing, I’ll admit I didn’t read that far down to see the spells. I saw the Gnomeregan achievements.

So, Echo Isles, huh? damn, no Sunken Temple? I was really hoping Horde would get a city base closer to south of the eastern kingdoms. :(

Ah well, mention of Echo Isles, and the possibility of a capital being risen there, makes a great deal of sense. It would put a capital in about the saem proximity to Orc/Troll character creation area as Stormwind is to theirs.

And…. I didn’t get to be the first to go there. Lol.

Nice post!

Whoa. I was so excited I forgot to add this in:

This is why World of Warcraft draws in SO many people. The world is ever-changing. The developers make sure things move along. Too many games’ world stay static. With all these changes, even people who previously ignored the storyline may get curious about it. My guildie only recently asked–while grinding Cenarion Circle rep in Silithus–if the bugs she was fighting had any storyline. I couldn’t give her a very complete explanation on it, but did tell her they tied in with the biggest world events of Vanilla WoW and they were related to them bugs up in Northrend even. She got interested and I hope she finds her way to WoWwiki to read up on the rest of it :D

Great work, Blizzard. It may be too early to say this, but I adore how much love and passion goes into this game–this world.
