I have a dream…
I can sit online for hours per day just chatting to mates and making money.
Ok, so I have two dreams.
Sitting online hours per day, chatting to mates and making money, and…
Becoming the CGO (Chief Gnomish Officer) of my own transport company.
I would call it...
The Gnomish Taxi Cab Co.
We would have two arms of the business, all provided by Gnomes of course.
Gnomish Portal Division
Gnomes would be spread the length and breadth of Azeroth, Outland and Northrend.
Their role will be to spruke and sell Portals to all the major cities, and maybe a couple of minor ones.
For a small fee, let’s say 5 gold (group discount for 5 or more), my Gnome Mages will Port you to your desired portal equipped city.
I would even put one in Dalaran, right next to the incoming spot… Why run to your factions portals when you can just port to Dalaran and open a trade window.
Value Add
What’s more, for a low additional price, you could pick up some Mage food for your journey.
My other division would be:
Gnomish Summon Squad.
This division is primarily staffed by Warlocks, who generally located with the Mages, can call for support in fulfilling all your summoning needs.
Middle of nowhere, yet you need to get a “port” to Ironforge?
Don’t waste time searching your zone for a Mage, a friendly Mage, a friendly helpful Mage…
No, just put in the call to the Ironforge Summoning rank, and get yanked direct to your destination.
Mid raid and the Uber Item of Superior Upgrade drops… Prove your need to NEED by calling on our friendly, yet satanic, Lock crew to summon you directly to the AH. That’s right, no need to run from the Mage quarter, go straight to the Auctioneer.
For those of you that are really lazy, we can even arrange a continuation of your journey from the AH to the mailbox.
Lockulance
Cursed in the field, desperate for a decurse? Call on our emergency Lockulance to get you to our friendly Mage decursers… Yes our Mages not only know they have a decurse spell, but they know how to use it!
For a low introductory price, we will throw in the odd curse or two!
Of course our Warlock’s services do come at a price, and that price is your soul, just one or two teeny weeny pieces of your soul…
But hey, isn’t your soul worth it for the convenience?
Holiday Rates
I must warn you up front, during holiday events, the price of Ports and Summons will increase, but once again, don’t you want to get to Ungoro crater immediately? Don’t you want to get back to Stormwind and offload that annoying orphan?
Specially priced Round the WoW fares will be available, but book early!
Gnomer and Out!

This makes me think of something I did the other day. Gave a guildy a lift in my motorcycle from Ironforge to Southshore. This could be another part of your Taxi division.
Pretty realistic business proposition I’d say. I see scrubs asking for port to dalaran all day on trade chat.
They all need to be engineers so they can whip out that mailbox or repair bot.
Or have the Tundra Traveler’s Mammoth, but that’s a pretty hefty investment for a beginning chain service.
If they’re supposed to be all gnomes… hmmm… what if you start using children too as cheap labor? They are short and funny looking, we won’t be able to tell the difference! We could be exploiting the children thinking they are gnomes! I would much rather exploit gnomes…
I guess we could have the premium service, ala Curse. 300 gold per month for unlimited usage?
Can’t trust children… they will want to go exploring too… just look at those Orphans… helping to summon one moment, wanting to PvP and down bosses the next.
You talking Gnomesploitation?
Mmmmm sounds like a new movie genre coming up…
personally and this could just be me but do you really trust gnomes to port you and not somehow “accidently” have your head turned backwards.
Mmmm that’s a bad thing?
Sounds good to me if you are on a PvP server… less chance of being ganked…
But seriously… who would you trust…
A Green Haired fireball wielding Gnome, or
A green skinned, pocket picking Goblin?
Heck I want to go one step further. The Slap Mage.
Sick of having to deal with one mob at a time, do you need decursed right away, you need portals to several places.
For the low prixe of 70g per hour, you can have a mage friend follow you around, everywhere you go.
What your in Undercity, you need to be in Thunderbluff, no problem. Need to run an alt through Ramparts for some rep..no problem.
Call us today, 55-FIRE-BALLS
70g?????
Let’s make that 7g per minute…
We will also convert the phone number to a pay per call number…
