Instead, this is about the reclaiming of Gnomeregan! Fuck yeah! I've wanted the gnomes to reclaim their city for a long time and this seems like it will be a great event - we get to kick some green gnome-ass while reclaiming what could turn out to be one of the coolest places in the game.
Gelbin Mekkatorque is leading the attack known at 'Operation Gnomeregan' and we will fight Mekgineer Thermaplugg out of Gnomeregan and reclaim it as our own! Hey! Wait a minute? Didn't we beat the shit out of Thermaplugg already? Fuck yes, we did! What the hell!?
Yes, Thermaplugg just pulled a Kael'Thas, Anub'Arak and a Baron Rivendare and got resurrected even though we fucking killed him. That fucking sucks! Why does everyone have to return from the fucking dead, even despite the fact that we fucking cut off their heads? What kind of sense is that!
Not saying I am not looking forward to Operation Gnomeregan - because I think it will be the most awesome thing to happen in the history of the world (of Warcraft), but I still think they could have added a villain in another way than to mysteriously resurrect Thermaplugg! Thermaplugg could have a son or something! At least Kael'Thas announced that we 'hadn't really killed him and that he just pulled a prank on all of us adventurers' when you turned in the quest to A'dal. What is it with these adventurers? Are they not able to tell when someone is fucking dead!? It's better to stab a villain twice after he is dead than to run the risk of him surviving!
How did Blizzard manage to act like Thermaplugg's death never happened? They made him a fucking robot! That's right! The Thermaplugg that we fought was a robot! Smart move, Blizzard, it kind of makes sense since he is a gnome but story-wise it makes no sense. Why would he make robot-doubles of himself? To avoid being killed? The guy is insane for lord's sake and he is absolutely sure that he can kick the shit out of anyone! Why would he make a double in order to avoid getting killed!?
Another thing: Notice the title of this post? No, it's not a typo. The patch is fucking patch 3.9 and not patch 4.0 or 3.4 or whatever. Basically Blizzard just said "fuck 3.4 through 3.8" and went for 3.9. You can argue that it is to show that it is more of a prologue to Cataclysm than an epilogue to Wrath of the Lich King but it seems kind of dumb in my opinion. I really hope that Blizzard made a typo and fixes it so that it was actually in patch 3.3.9. That would make more sense. No need to break a good naming system with exceptions.
I'm worried that the 4.0-era will be like this:
4.0 - 4.5 - 4.2 - 4.8
I mean, if the numbers mean nothing then screw it, call it whatever you want! You can name it Henry or Bob! Imagine seeing that on the 'in development' site. If a previously good system means nothing you might as well totally fuck it up!
*Sigh* I guess you don't care. You just want to see Bruce Willis as a gnome, right? Here you go then:
Can't wait to kick in the doors of Gnomeregan and yell "Yippie-kay-fucking-yay motherfucker!"
Can't wait to retake the Echo Isles for the Darkspear Tribe as well. Same thing about Zalazane as with Thermaplugg.
