And we aren’t talking about goblins and worgen. No, instead, Blizzard has finally decided to give the poor trolls their own introductory area. Here’s to hoping they do the same for gnomes. Strange that it finally hit after five years, though…

 You might suspect (correctly) that Blizzard is running a business more than creating a game. With myriad soft toys for your consumption and the monthly payments generating a Flying Dutchmen’s hull space worth of cash, Blizzard still is not satisfied. I mean, I guess, what would we do? The latest in this line of gears on a steamroller is a new reward for those of you that convince your buddy to play with you. Its the first two-person mount. No joke. You and your buddy can enjoy the fictional aerial torpedo as soon as she/he signs up. I am kind of interested in how it works. Then I remember how much real world XP I lost when I was playing. I’m still questing to make that up.  |

It appears that Cataclysm will contain Mount Hyjal as a zone with plenty of different odd encounters and activities related to the Cataclysm storyline events. The online pet store has expanded to include plush toys (with in-game mini pet counterparts) as well as mounts (in this case a celestial steed). The sunken city of Vashj’ir has also been more extensively revealed. I just can’t wait to walk around underwater and bite off some naga heads. |
 No, I don’t mean the level 30 something old-timey dungeon mini-shooter that gets put on auto farm. We’re talking full, high-level experience. Will Gnomeregan finally be taken back once and for all? |
