Around Azeroth Beta Edition: The more things change
Arignote of <Dragon Heart> on Sisters of Elune (US-A) writes, "The Horde is building a bigger, better Orgrimmar in Cataclysm, including this well appointed new tavern. For Gamon, sadly, life hasn't got any better. I tried on several occasions to get a screenshot of Gamon while he was still alive, but every time I got there (on the Lost Isles beta server), I found Gamon either dead or in the process of dying."

You realize he'll be a raid boss someday.

I wonder how long it's taken me to realize...
...Hey, Gamon is a type of ham ;O
bui Oct 6th 2010 10:23AM
Well crap I figured he'd get some kinda upgrade or something, dude just can't catch a break

You mean a tavern actually has bottles of hooch? Wow, finally Blizz. ;)
BELBUTE Oct 6th 2010 10:54AM
Leave Gamon alloooonneeeee (chris cocker) :P

I've always wondered if there was a stat somewhere that gave the average up time for Gamon across all realms. Course it would have to be measured in Milliseconds... but still
niko Oct 6th 2010 10:58AM

/shame

He's not dead, he's sleeping.... beautiful plumage that Gamon.

Now look, my good man, I took the liberty of examining that Tauren and I found that the only reason he had Tazan's Key was that it had been nailed there.

Naaah he's pinning for the fahjords !

I miss being able to MC Gamon on my priest and run around and stopping people from being able to mount up :(
Hih Oct 6th 2010 2:57PM
-.-
I don't miss that at all.

The best part about being a priest is taking Gamon to the top of the flight tower and facilitating his revenge on the denizens of Orgrimmar by punting people off the top.
...I really hope that stays in Cata.
Hih Oct 6th 2010 2:58PM
His punt hasn't been in the game since, what? 3.3? 3.2? Nearly to well over a year?
>.>

It's there, you just can't access it.
If it weren't for the fact that he's still required for the quest, I would say they need to add a secret ability to him. Every once in awhile when someone attacks him, he becomes immune and does a massive hit back. Not enuf to kill them, but enuf to put them damn-near close.

My guess is Gamon will be the true end game boss of WoW :D

As terrible as I feel for Orgrimmar's favorite barfly, we'd all call it a nerf and complain if he was ever made untargetable to Horde.
And heaven forbid he ever dies in canon, like in some sort of expansion world event. I was relieved to see that he survives Deathwing's arrival.
