Yesterday’s Breakfast Topic asked about the new Alliance race, but today we’re here to ask about the prodigal Hordies, Cataclysm’s newest Horde race, the goblins. The announcement of the race was a bit of a surprise, but one that made a lot of sense upon further examination. I wasn’t at all excited for goblins at first, but the more I look at ‘em, the more I kinda like ‘em — especially all of the cute hairstyles that the women get.

So, I know that I’ll be rolling at least one goblin. I’m thinking a warlock and … I have no idea. I’m running out of classes I don’t already have an 80 of. But it might be fun to faction change one of my existing 80s to a goblin too. They’d be my first high-level Horde character! I never fell prey to infectious rerollbelfatosis.

So what about you guys? Excited to blaze new trails and be Kalimdor pioneers with your little green man (or woman)? What are you going to roll? Does your goblin have a backstory you’re building? Let us know in the comments and in the poll below!

What’s your goblin going to be?

Joozu asked…

At BlizzCon I remember hearing that Hyjal will be full of action because the world tree there is regrowing. I’m sure Blizzard wouldn’t give the night elves their immortality back, but is there any info on if that part of the lore will be talked about at all (e.g. quests explaining why night elves will remain mortal) ?

Also, second question.

With the level cap only going up by 5, how large of a change will there be with gear level? Example: coming from BC with purples on, I didn’t have any gear to upgrade to until level 76. Will the gear scale accordingly to compensate for only 5 levels of progression, or will I be doing heroics at 85 with my ice crown purples?
