The time is here.
Jong reports from the front line (which may well be his balcony with an empty bottle of JD):
supaflyretpally @Gnomeaggedon Operation Gnomeaggedon is a go. Jong and the 2nd Battalion Elite Paladin Rangers are boarding C-130 at 1400 hours.
Gnomeaggedon @supaflyretpally Go get them Troggs and teach them 60′s music is dead! Ohhh wrong world… yeah clean up Gnomeregan and get me a good room!
supaflyretpally @Gnomeaggedon The Operation is proceeding with 93% efficiency. I got run over by mechanotank.
Gnomeaggedon @supaflyretpally typical that you would get an efficiency rating from Gnomes! Ignore the Mechanotanks, the biotanks you need to be afraid of
Which leaves me wondering whether his intention is to retake Gnomeregan or Gnomeaggedon. And if it’s me he’s retaking, where is he retaking me too? I’m hoping it’s that island of his with Megan taking the tops off icy cold Victoria Bitter stubbies…
What? A Gnome can dream can’t he?
What’s your dream of Gnomeregan?
We can assume that once the Trolls retake their homeland it will be 24/7 full moon parties all fueled by Ghost Mushrooms and Felweed...
But what about us Gnomes?
What will we do with our homeland once we cast off the shackles of slavery imposed upon us by our erstwhile saviors, the Humans and Dwarves?
Will it be a Rave?
Will it be filled with TechnoVikings? (come on, it’s not much of a stretch to believe that TechoViking is really Gnomeaggedon after a giant feast! Look at his pants, surely they were Gnome longs before they became Viking shorts – go on, have a look!)
Will it become a big pinball parlor? Who else would you want designing your pinball machines the the mechanical genius of the Gnome?
Robot War central? Bring your crashing thrashing robot to Gnomeregan for the weekly play offs?
Maybe a bit of Mechanotank Derby? They might not go fast, but they are designed to destroy – no license required!
Maybe given the space required the Gnome Locks and Gnome Mages can finally get down to creating the perfect transporter hub.
Portals to everywhere and the summoning stones from hell. I mean, it’s great having portals everywhere, even having summoning stones outside instances, but why don’t we have public summoning stones in our major cities?
Time to create a single person summoning stone, so we can whisk our cheating partners out of the arms of Full-mooning Trolls.
Is the Deeprun tram getting an upgrade? I know it’s always running late, the carriages are always overfilled with Horde raiders and it really does stink after 5 years of ERP, but surely it’s time they extended their services to the rest of Azeroth?
I would like them to update the design though. Maybe…
- A rollercoaster to Outland.
- A waterside to the Maelstrom.
- An Elven arrow to Darnassus.
- A snowboard trip to Northrend.
Then of course there will be months of construction, building the statue to the hero of Gnomeregan…
That’s me right?
Most likely it will be torn asunder during the Cataclysm, but I still expect my outstretched arm to rise from the broken earth, reaching up to the sky, where when you follow the line from my fingertips are confronted with the greatest Pyroblast ever thrown by a Gnome…
The sun!
Gnomer & Out!
Edit: Well, i have now completed the (todays?) event on both Gnomeaggedon and Squidly.. I am hoping to all that is holy in Gnomeregan there is something more to follow.. hopefully we are only 93% of the way through… it just left me feeling empty.
I didn’t retake Gnomeregan, the developers did… I could have just /followed the nearest Gnome.

Here’s an idea for an “upgraded” Tram. Set up massive, permanent portals, which then teleport the tram to their destination.
You’d have the big train stations, but the train itself would just get teleported from station to station.
Technomancy at its finest.
lol Of course… we don’t do things by half. No sense in removing what works, let’s just “beam it back Lapforge, quickly!”
I love and hate gnomer, that’s why I really look forward to what they’ll do with it! it was definitely a very underrated place so far in the game and deserves cool upgrades!
btw have you ever seen the ‘the device has been modified’ machinima by baron soosdon? =D
Mmmm I don’t think I’ve seen that one… will have to go searching
i have a soft spot in my heart for the old Gnomer, because that was one of my first real instances. i got the water-breathing staff there (my first blue item), and i still carry it in my bag to this day… so useful, and i expect it might be even moreso in cataclysm.
true, the place is huge and such a slog to go through, but the gnomes are so amusing at times, and killing the troggs is so satisfying, it’s still going to be great to go there. i’m hoping to have time tomorrow (thurs) night to check it out.
once the gnomes retake gnomer, not sure what they can do with it. i think they deserve to have their own capital city, but they need a draw to get people there. Gnomeageddon’s statue idea is awesome — i want it to happen!
yes it can’t become a museum to the atrocities of bio hazards… it needs to also be an inspiration to all the Gnomlings out there
update: i tried to run it last night, because i just couldn’t wait another day to see what it was all about. we got to the point where we were going to head inside, and something glitched, and we couldn’t proceed. so… i’ll try again tonight.
i found myself more than a bit giddy when i realized that part of the questline had me FLYING. in the old world! sure, it was on an amusement-park ride type run in a helicopter, and i couldn’t control where i was going, but still… i was flying! over the area outside ironforge! wheeeeee!
i wonder if that part of the questline was partly the designers testing out how bits of the old world looked from above.
It’s Operation Gnomeggedan because Gnomeregan is your home. I did it for you mang… oh, and for the Gnome Ranger Infantry.
No Megan?
No Oomaggedon?
Sad Gnome…
I guess I will just clean up my pod in Gnomeregan and hang a sexy bio suit on the wall for the day she comes.
Mmmm since the bio suit also gives random sex changes, maybe I don’t need Megan…
Ohh those crafty Gnomes, or population maybe depleted, but we have the means for increasing our population in a simple suit
