Patch 4.1 is adding
a bunch of new content to
Cataclysm, including retuned
Zul'Gurub and
Zul'Aman heroic instances, but it's also adding a resort, apparently. Perculia over at
Wowhead went on an expedition to the 4.1 PTR, where she discovered that there's been a new area added in the mountains between Feralas and Silithus. Its inhabitants are marked as Gadgetzan faction, and it's full of NPCs, from Silverpine favorite Johhny Awesome to chef Gordon Tramsay. And everyone seems to be having a grand old time, sipping pina coladas and lounging around in lawn chairs.
We have no idea what the location is going to be used for -- it may just be fun flavor, but Wowhead speculates it might be an extension of the Steam Pools or even used for some kind of in-game holiday.

Nice. Be cool if they have a Gnomish/Goblin transport for quick access.

I actually saw this a few weeks ago when flying around testing out the hunter pets. I say it is in relation to the old quest where the goblin was trying to find hot enough heat source for a hot spring.

It's your zone, get it revamped when YOU need it!

AFter a long, hard day of adventuring, what you really need is a place to relax. Come, soak your feet in our refreshing hot springs. Taste our exotic foods, imported from all over Azeroth. Relax, refresh, renew!

Great. Another environment to be plagued by the wrath of general and trade talk gibberish. Before long it will be like org. Look what happened to it in the goblin area. Lol.

I hope you can buy ear-plugs from a vendor to block out the chat so you can chill.

But don't drink the water.

As long as it includes more female Blood Elves in skimpy outfits, I don't really care about what the area is used for :)
matticus Apr 6th 2011 7:43PM
I demand dwarf women in skimpy outfits!!
Noyou Apr 6th 2011 8:04PM
Dwarves seconded. Belfs are nice if you like stick figures with boobs. Troll females would be better than Belfs. Which by the way, either it's RNG or they updated the troll female that appears when doing the Blade of Drak'Mar quest for argent tourney. She's actually decent looking now.

Orc women FTW
Hot as elves, drink like dwarves.
Amaxe Apr 7th 2011 12:28AM
You sure thats not "Drink like elves, look like (ugly) dwarves"?

I want my elf men in hotpants.
Trolls are welcome also.
underground_slacker Apr 6th 2011 6:22PM
oh-oh sweet bronzebeards boots.
ITS BLOOD ELF SPRING BREAK.
Do not want belfs gone wild. Do not want at all. If they're as bad as they are in silvermoon on the weekdays....
BenMS Apr 6th 2011 6:24PM
Is Spring Break coming up? They'll call it Kan'koon or something like that.
Chevela Apr 6th 2011 7:20PM
That's my guess, and maybe it's just for the PTR... but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a "Spring Break" party :)
Also, Kan'koon, would be cool
