So I finally did it. I made a Goblin Warlock, and named him Darkcash. Funny that Darkprofit was taken.
\nI’ve ran through the Goblin side, and I really liked what I saw. First, it was night so I couldn’t see much.<\/p>\n
I did really enjoy the Goblin side. But I noticed two things that first bugged me;
\n1. No other players. I was pretty much the only one there.
\n2. Freezing Lag when in a vehicle. It was similar to what I went through with the Fusion Core on Beefhunter in Uldum, but it was happening very frequently. No NPC’s were showing up. Most times, it froze my zoom controls up. Thought of making a GM ticket, but I’m sure they’ll tell me it’s my addons. Tried disabling some but it was still happening. <\/p>\n
So, it starts off as you, being the boss of a drink popular in Kezan, the town you’re in, called “Kaja’Cola”. The secret for your success is a rare mineral called “kaja’mite”. You’re working up the corporate ladder to become the new Trade Prince. You got executive assistants, a sweet ride, a girlfriend, and three friends to hang around with. You’re also a champion at some sort of football-like sport, called “Footbomb”, where the ball is a bomb, that involves those shredders the goblins are known to always have around.<\/p>\n
Deathwing decides to make an unscheduled appearance after you make a winning field goal, saying that darkness has fallen and make peace with your end. No one but you knows who the dragon is or what he’s capable of doing, except your executive assistant who freaks out of the news (“You’re kidding, right?! DEATHWING?!!!”). Yet life manages to go on. She still wants you to do the party in your honor.. praying that we’re not all doomed. Said party goes good.. until Mount Kajaro, the volcano that Kezan is behind, starts to erupt and attacks the town. Now you got to get off the island. And everyone’s panicking.
\nGallywix offers you a ticket off, but it costs a fortune. A bazillion macaroons. You have to do alot of shit to get up the money, then you, your friends, and your executives are on the boat, and it’s a trap. Gallywix decides to turn all of you into slaves and go to Azshara.<\/p>\n
During a truly amazing cutscene that looks like it came out of a movie (the facial expressions were awesome. So awesome I couldn’t get a screenshot of any of it..), the boat you’re on gets in the middle of a fierce naval battle between the Alliance and Horde. One of the Alliance ships sinks your ship, due to wanting no survivors. Kind of a heartless thing to do of the Alliance.<\/p>\n
Now you’re stranded near a desert island, near death, but not alone. You’re resurrected by a fellow goblin. Now you must survive on this uncharted island. This leads up to defeating Naga, and meeting the Horde and helping them out.<\/p>\n
You also see Thrall, imprisoned by the Alliance. He’s the “precious cargo” you keep getting told about. This leads me to believe that this is the event just after the Cataclysm, Thrall made Garrosh the new Warchief of the Horde (even though Thrall is still listed as the Warchief in this. He’s also wearing the same outfit seen when you hit Level 80), and they’re heading to the Maelstrom to keep Deepholm from collapsing into Azeroth. But the Alliance somehow thought that this is a chance to capture him and take him to Stormwind. The fools. Thrall’s the only one trying to save Azeroth! He helps you out later on by dealing with the Trade Prince.<\/p>\n
Later on, you accidentally cause the dormant volcano on the island to erupt by killing this flaming turtle with a multi rocket launcher. Now this island too will blow. You find out Gallywix has kidnapped your friends to get revenge on you. Finally, Thrall helps you defeat Gallywix, who Thrall shockingly allows Gallywix to remain as the trade prince and establish a base of operations in Azshara, and for the goblins to join the Horde.<\/p>\n
Thrall tells you alittle later that he will see you again in the future (when you’re Level 80) and wishes you luck. Then you board this boat and get the fuck off of the island before it blows.<\/p>\n
Now you’re with the Horde, and you start questing in Azshara… and the rest is unimportant.
\nIf I was to vote which has the best start area and story of the two new races of Cata… I would have to say.. the Worgen. Don’t get me wrong; the Goblin side is amazing, but it isn’t really as .. immerse in the lore of Warcraft as the Worgen side.
\nThe Goblin side… has alot of plot holes. It doesn’t explain why is Thrall doing there, or why he’s still the Warchief when Garrosh is, or why he made Garrosh the Warchief. The player has to assume.
\nAnother thing.. what were the Alliance even doing there? Did they get intel that Thrall left Org and went to capture him? He said that the Alliance found him unconscious on the shore and put him in a magical cage to keep him from connecting to the elements. Again, the player has to assume.<\/p>\n
Another reason why the Worgen side is better, is the Cataclysm was more… realistic. I mean, Deathwing shows up and there was no sudden major earthquake. There was a major earthquake on the Worgen side.
\nLook at how close the town is to the Maelstrom. Deathwing came out of it. According to the climatic video of Cataclysm, there was a major earthquake due to Deathwing breaking free.
\nAlso, the seas weren’t rising, and they were on the Worgen side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
