Gnomeregan
It’s not why you think!
- It’s not to remove the dishonor of its occupation by filthy Troggs.
- It’s not to save our poor leprous cousins.
- It’s not to save the environment by stopping the seepage of radioactive wastes through the sewers of Azeroth.
The Goblins are not the only small race to be subjugated by oppressors!
We’re being Repressed, We’re being Repressed!
It’s because of the Dwarves, and to some extent those upstart humans are oppressors through supposed friendship!
Have you ever had that situation where while you smoke your Fitzgadget’s smokeless, tobacco-less, cancer-less pipe while rocking your stone chair on the front porch of your Ironforge abode that it occurs to that the Dwarves aren’t really as helpful a bunch as the make out?
Fake Friends
You have probably had similar experiences in RL, where that friend, colleague or family member makes a slip and you discover that their intentions aren’t all that holy.
They’ll follow it up with one of those statements…
Gnomes, I love Gnomes, some of… Err one of my best mates is a Gnome… Sure I haven’t spoken to him in years, but if I did, I would assure you he was my friend.
Have you ever noticed how we are relegated to one little street corner in Ironforge… One place to set up our 7/11 of tinker tools?
Tinkertown
Have you ever noticed how we are tarnished with the Engineering brush…
Ohh yeah those Gnomes, they’re all engineered, that’s all they’re good for.
Even in Stormwind we live in squalor, in the dirtiest part of town, right at the back corner.
Dwarven District
Have you ever notices how Old Town virtually smells of roses in comparison to our filth refugee camp?
Old Town
But Gnomer, what would you have the Dwarves do?
We for starters they have whole uninhabited part of Ironforge that would have made the Gnomes feel right at home.
Old Ironforge
Old Ironforge!
Yep, why didn’t they give us the keys to the “undercity”. Sure the Dwarves couldn’t make it pretty, but give 1/2 a dozen Gnomes a chance and Old Ironforge would have come up a treat.
The Gnomes would have put in:
- Elevators
- Central heating and cooling
- Fast and efficient mail delivery systems
- Transport systems
- Luxury stainless steel accommodation suites for Dwarven holidays.
But no!
I dare say that the Dwarves and Humans have been receiving some sort of Alliance Refugee Assistance Payments, keeping it for themselves to fund their exploration and war efforts while the Gnomes sleep rough on the streets and get relegated to corner shop owners.
I bet Tirion Fartface didn’t fund the Argent tournament… I bet it was the relief supplies that he sold on the neutral auction house via those dastardly Goblins. He probably used our blankets to make the tents!
No we don’t need to reclaim Gnomeregan to right the wrongs of the past. We need to retake Gnomeregan to escape the injustices of the present!
Rise up fellow Gnomes!
Raid your oppressors storerooms.
Take their picks and shovels now.
You can be assured that the only reason they will join forces with us to retake Gnomeregan is to pillage out rightful homeland!
Be sure to strip them of all our prized Gnomeregan artifacts before they leave your party… For rest assured, they will just trade them on the Goblin Markets!
Gnomer and Out!

why-we-must-reclaim-gnomeregan/
According to lore, Old Ironforge is some sacred place where some big forge is but when it comes to gnomes, screw that. Gnomes deserve a place of their own. I think they might get the ironforge airstrip because they are gonna have to do something to it when you can fly in azeroth.
“Old Lore” Pfftt… that’s code word for don’t let those bloody Gnomes have it.. let’s declare it a holy land!
Like I say.. Goblins subjugated… Gnomes have been for years… building airstrips for the Dwarves…
That’s against the Gnomeregan Convention!
Maybe the Gnomes should just go Horde… where the Heart is… teehee…
Yes Gnome is where the Gheart is…
Tauren hearts, Blood Elf hearts… I don’t mind what kind of heart as long as it’s fast roasted via fireball!
Repressed? HA! You gnomes have it so easy. You never budge and inch to reclaim your city. The last gnome who even mentioned Gnomeregan didn’t want me to liberate it, he wanted new hair.
It’s not so much that we are lazy… it;s just that when we run we wear our little legs out.. like a hamster in a wheel… then we get tired…
Anyway… years of Alliance and Horde invading our sovereign land and making off with our artifacts… yet no one left the door open for us Gnomes!
well, THIS human has always been on your side. i for one agree. RISE UP, half-pint brethren! there are those who are not gnomish who support you!
Ahhh Brother in Blood & Fire!
Rise Brothers and Sisters!
I say screw Gnomer, just move north to Silvermoon City. I’m sure if you promise to clear out the west half, the’ll let you have it. And face it, the mobs are lower level there and not elite. And best of all, it’s not instanced.
Besides, the gnomes and elves go way back. We’d be glad to have ya.
For the Horde!
Mmmm Silvermoon is warm this time of year… actually it bound to be warmer than Ironforge any time of the year (what’s with that!).
And you folks like to dabble in a bit of the Arcane on the side… I don’t mind if it drives us all a little crazy… you’d be crazy not to let the Magic inhabit you!
It would also make it quicker to steal your flame next year.
Why steal ours when you can go steal Ironforge’s and throw it in their faces. Take that, you thick headed drunkards! Try to stay warm now!
Mwahahah….. ahem, be right back… I need some more bloodthistle..
On a second thought, take them both, and build another Metro to it should be nice….
Then we can amass to take Stormwind as well…
Use gnomish helicopter to replace gryphon.
And we can Dominate the Public Transport Business.
Death to the Horde! And death to the Alliance!
This is the Day of the Gnomeregan!
But where would I get my dry cleaning done if the Gnomes moved out of that nook in IF?
Ohhh never fear… I will always be prepared to do your dry cleaning…
Just pile it neatly on that target dummy over there while I wind up a Pyroblast…
Those Dot ticks really get the hard to move stains just dripping away…
/bloody holier than thou “I flap my hands when I run” human (lower case P) paladins
I ran heroic HoL with 3 gnome dps. It was hilarious running with them.
And now, to stay on topic, rise up gnomes!
lol Jong.. after so long chasing us down and grinding us into the dirt you only now discover that each and everyone own of us is a pocket disco!
Though I find it hard to run with Gnomes… I am so used to looking through legs it’s hard to start looking over shoulders
We should be angry about that…
the Alliance even go to outland to look after the new comer (Draenei), but let us rot !
The only place we left is the little Metro Entrance
Our king is not even on the
“For The Horde!” – “Slay the leaders of the Alliance. ” List
Screw them, Why we should help them out on all those things,
build them engine and metro? Airport on Northen?
We are enough for the Alliance discrimiation,
Just because we are nice and short, don’t mean we deserve this slavery!
WE SHOULD BE LEAVING !
Yep and we have piss poor representation at the Argent Tournament too…
At least let us sit in the stands and cheer each other on…
On a side note, I was very excited to discover you could fly into the ToC instance… well until I discovered it deserted…
I wish you could fly in, it would be great… I don’t mind feather falling.
The Mighty Jingles will not let this injustice stand! The return to Gnomeregan is on The List. Right after conquering the known world and the enslavement of all sentient races. He’ll get round to it.
Jingles, Jingles, Jingles…
We shall accept you as the Overlord of the other races so long as you pay us due respect…
I lolled, awesome piece of text =)
Thanks
Have you ever notices how Old Town virtually smells of roses in comparison to our filth refugee camp?
LOL. I’d actually never noticed!
