Operation: Gnomeregan Imminent

by Robin Torres Apr 8th 2010 at 9:30PM

An Azeroth Bulletin has just been released announcing that Operation: Gnomeregan is imminent. High Tinker Mekkatorque wants you to join him in his fight to finally conquer Mekgineer Thermaplugg and his irradiated minions.

"Victory begins in Tinker Town" and "every man, woman and child" is called upon to serve! The staging ground for the offensive will be at SteelGrill's Depot under the command of Captain Sparknozzle. There you will undergo Drill Sergeant Steamcrank's training. You will also be testing the Mechano-Tanks before they go to the front line. Then you will bomb the irradiation vents under the command of Pilot Muzzlesprock.

All levels will be able to participate, whether by donating boar skins for siege pilot seats or helping to write the battle cry. But the actual offensive, when ready, will be limited to levels 75 and up, led by the High Tinker himself. For full details, read the Azeroth Bulletin.

I dislike. Blizz has been only focusing on the gnomes for a while now. GIVE THE DARKSPEAR SOME LOVE!

Then again blizz could just be gettin the stoopid gnomes outta the way so the trolls can shine.

This is so awesome!! My gnome alt must get to 75 right away.

As a clarification: Does this mean the entire event, including the battle, is coming soon? Or that there will be a few "pre-battle" quests added, then the actual operation later on?

I'm expecting something like the reclaiming of the Isle of Quel'Danas or the building of the Crusaders' Coliseum. A few dailies at the start, then more and more through a few phased until we can launch the final attack.

Since the page says you have to talk to Mekkatorque before you can attack, I expect the final stage of the operation will act something like the Death Knight attack on Light's Hope Chapel, or taking back the Undercity, in which you have to talk to the leader in charge of the attack to initiate it.
