Yesterday started the retaking of Gnomeregan (in year 32 of the timeline) after being lost nearly a decade ago (year 25 or so) during an invasion of Trogs where Mekgineer Sicco Thermaplugg convinced King Mekkatorque to flood the city with radiation. For the past few years, the poor gnomish race has been forced to live in Ironforge on the dwarves' charity. King Mekkatorque has constantly sent small bands of adventurers into Gnomeregan after Thermaplugg, but none have been successful at retaking the city.

The quest chain starts with "A Few Good Gnomes", given by King Mekkatorque in Ironforge. This was recorded during peak playtime, not too long after the event started. The crush of people is intense as everyone got off of work and rushed to go do the quest chain. I plan on uploading a quieter version in the future, done when there are a lot fewer people logged on. But quantity has a quality all its own.

I did not do the actual retaking of the surface yet, so I don't have video for that. And the other alt is not yet level 75, so no video from that either. And yes, you'll see a wee gnome named Jancey blowing King Mekkatorque a kiss during his speech. But only if your eyes are sharp.

Lastly, I have a no-UI tour of Ironforge, Dun Morogh, the Steelgrill area, and a very brief glimpse of the defenses around Gnomeregan's entrance.
