If this means that I can run through a new retaken Gnomeregan and kill gnomes instead of robots I'll be all for it. >=3

I find the RHINO MOUNT much more exciting. :D

The Griff makes me depressed pretty much tho. Cause I bet I know what boss drops it :| Ahune.

And I never even saw pimp rocket, not dropped, not looted by another player. Nothing at all.

WOAH!

Not only this, but it looks like part of the Horde equivalent is going to be for the Darkspear! :D WHEE!

(It looks like everyone will get to be part of Gnomer and such, but yeah. DEY NOT FORGETTIN' DA TROLLS, MON!)

I want that Hippogryft....I love those horsebirds to bits and Rhino mount! <3

....What did they do to poor Anduin?! He looks like they made him into his late twenty, and he's like...well twelve in Lich king. Hoping that it's mystery time mumbo magic.
Now if only they updated human models to that grade I might enjoy playing them.

Can't wait to do the captures, loved the taiking of undercity on both sides. Can't wait to see the gnomes and trolls doing their captures.

Awesome, bout time the Gnomes and Trolls got their own homes. Though I find it silly they there's gonna be two capitals in the starter zones... unless Cata changes that. Maybe the Echo Isles get promoted to their own zone? Maybe Gnomer ends up in it's own starter zone as well..

the mind boggles...

damn, i'll have to scratch my plans for their new cities out of my fan expansion, ah well.

Never know, the model might still be shorter than an adult, could be a teenager sized model

Would I ever love to have the hippogriff. Probably going to be a really rare drop or something raid related rather than a rep grind reward (knowing my luck.. lol) but I sure hope not. :P
Doomsday Messenger - Wear a large board emblazoned with a message about the impending end of the world. / Instant
Haha I hope that'll be from an item that you can keep that will last after Cata goes live. xD

My, did Anduin go through a growth spurt!
That hippogryph is absolutely lovely! Too bad it'll most likely be a 1 in 1,000 chance TCG card, as most amazing mounts are like that. *Glares at the Spectral Tiger Mount* Though Ryai might be onto something. It certainly fits in with the Midsummer Festival and Ahune theme.
Hopefully they'll make Gnomergan easier to get around in. So... many paths... such... terrible... directional sense...
It's sounding like another "Retake the Undercity", which makes me a very happy person. :D

Oooh, some interesting stuff here! I totally want that hippogriff mount, but naturally it's going to be incredibly hard to get a hold of.

Nice to see some update love for Vol'Jin. Now, if only they would give Lor'Themar a little love...or at least his own sayings (srsly he's the only faction leader to just say Generic Blood Elf stuff :( )

I'll hold you to that word....I'm hoping you are right.
It's nice that Anduin gets (and a update thank you) action, but him to look like he is twenty when he is twelve by lore even is a little bit too much.
I bet I'll grow out of these words and end up liking him so don't mind me anyway, seriosly I hated Arthas now I like him.

"Who?"
Okay I'm sorry theres a certain video to blame.
But yeah Lor'Themar need attention...actualy I want his AH green gear set. It's sassy, but he needs to get his own model (glorious armor included) and his own unique voice.

Edit:I really need clear my sleep debt on this vacation, my mistakes are not even funny anymore.

The mounts are both form the unreleased tcg, the tcg will now not be released. I would love if Blizz put these up for sale like the pets for a reasonable price. A nice boa mount would really hit the spot for my hunter and that way they wouldn't go to waste. Though I wouldn't get too excited over these ones Blizz has future plans for the tcg, but they seem a long ways away.

So Gnomes finally got off their lazy butts to retake Gnomer after what... 5 years? Lazy footballs. >:| BUT it does look epic.

Also, Troll event. OH YES. Vol'jin looks awesome. <3 Darkspear deserve their home back. Looks like they'll be taking Echo Isles back. (Maybe they'll make them a bit bigger) This may also be the start of the new Troll city. =O The place I'll be hanging out more since Garrosh takes charge of Org. -smacks Garrosh-

Also I figured those mounts would only be available through something I couldn't get, but I do hope that Blizzard makes some of the TCG pets and mounts available on their store. (I doubt it, but it's still nice to be hopefully.)

On Anduin... Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to looks. He's as ugly as his daddy is. Although I hope he'll be a better King. I think he mentioned once he wanted to meet Thrall.

Right there with you. Is nice to see Vol'jin out of his level 30 pvp gear finally, he looks appropriately bad-ass. I've always thought that Vol'jin was Thrall's buddy who moved in to Thrall's house because he got booted out of his own, just wants to stay until he gets back on his feet but has been there for five years and all he does is hang out in the basement and smoke up while listening to reggae.
Nice to see he's had a change of pace.

I hate "monetized" content but dang it, I would buy that Wooly Rhino mount in a heartbeat. Heck I'd probably even buy the loot card off eBay. I have wanted a Clefthoof mount since I first set foot into Nagrand, and the Rhino mount is close enough!

USURPERS, GNOMEREGAN IS MINE!

MMO said the new mounts are TCG items, but since that's cancelled...

The fiery hippogryph does look nice, I'd like it myself, hehe.

The rhino mount would be win, I'd have to get it on Rynoh... and Ryhno...
