All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsGnomestock this weekend, Gutrot throwing a party next weekend

- First up, our friend Gutrot, the naked Troll Warrior, is finally hitting 80, and he's throwing another party over on EU Aerie Peak to celebrate. He had another party about two years ago at this time, and it went pretty well, so expect this one to be fun, too: he'll have some drinking and merriment (Brewfest will be going on, so that will be fun), lots of naked dueling, we're sure, and probably an Alliance capital raid as well. That all starts on EU Aerie Peak a week from Saturday, September 26, at 9:30pm UK time. If you're on the EU servers, roll a Troll and go say hi.
- If you're more of the Gnomish persuasion, there's a party for you, too: Slice and Dice is throwing a Gnomestock party this Saturday, the 19th, and it sounds like a good time, too. There'll be Gnaked Gnome Racing, two mini-games going in Ironforge, a zonewide game of hide and seek, and since Saturday is Pirates' Day and the sponsoring guild is called Bucklers of Swash, there'll probably be some piratin' going on as well. That's this Saturday, 9/19, at 7pm Eastern (which is also 6pm server) on the US realm of Mug'thol.

Gutrot is a Warrior, not a hunter

Somehow I suspect there is going to be lengthy queues and even server crashes on those servers on those nights...

Yeah..
Too bad my main is in AP..
Going to check out Gutrot's party anyway. Judging from last year's videos, this one is going to be epic! :D

Is it just me, or do some of those gnomes look photoshopped?

I'd say that it looks 'shopped to me, too, but...if you look, the standard clipping errors are in there. If it were shopped, it would look better. (Writing that statement made me a sad WoW fanboi panda.)

As an AP-EU player, im somewhat torn between pride and dread when it comes to this upcoming party, im sure our server is going to die when it hits, it really isnt terribly stable at patch time anyway, so this extra strain is going to hurt no doubt. That said, mad props to Gutrot for putting AP on the map, so to speak. Big up Core (H), screw you MV!

When did Gutrot roll a Hunter?
Mike Schramm Sep 17th 2009 9:07PM
When he was... umm... oh bugger. Fixed.

I'm kinda hoping that we don't crash the server.....

Does anyone happen to remember Gnomefest? It was thrown 2 or 3 years ago on Scarlet Crusade...it sounds VERY similer to this Gnomestock event...
Nieker Sep 18th 2009 8:04AM

Note to self: remove nude patch before visiting Gnomestock.

My eyes! x_X
Haha, well I'm thankful I'm not on this server...an influx of gnomes...*shudders*
Jason Sep 18th 2009 1:48PM
Anyone else think that night elf just standing there kinda looks like a perve? Checking out all the little gnome-bodies...

I appreciate that someone put some effort into this event. But I have to say, this was lame. It suffered from a severe lack of organization and instructions. The rules to the first event were given after the direction to go was given.
So yes, it was an ok time and thanks to those who held it. However it could have been so much more. Instead it just devolved into a bunch of gnomes aimlessly wandering Dun Morogh. Hopefully someone else will take up the reigns next time for a better Gnomestock.

I was only able to stay for the first part of Gnomestock (why does work always interfere with play???) but I liked it. I agree that it was a little disorganized, but I also got the feeling that about half the people were there only to watch the other people who actually wanted to be participating. For those who "played" along, it looked like fun. If there's another one, I look forward to it being bigger and better. Besides, it's funny to watch gnaked gnomes run around in the snow. I still think there should be a Frostbite debuff for wearing too little when it's cold out. Didn't their mothers tell them they need a sweater, or something, or anything?
(Side note: Possibly due to being done in a remote, usually unused area of the world, it didn't interfere with the server at all. A nice plus I think.)
