Update - Added today's blue posts (well, blue post) at the end of the post.

Zalazane's Fall and Operation Gnomeregan now on live servers
The first part of the Cataclysm prologue just started on live servers. Alliance player will find the Operation Gnomeregan event in Dun Morogh and Horde players should go to Durotar for Zalazane's fall. See the quest links below for more information.



Important - The events are fairly short and entertaining, I really suggest that you go play them on live servers instead of checking the screenshots.

This is a very fun questline, it's not too long and it's a pretty nice introduction to what will happen in Cataclysm! For more details on the quests please read:

The normal dungeons require a little more crowd control than many LK players are typically used to, but they aren't intended to be brutal. You shouldn't need to farm a lot of gear before stepping into one. Keep in mind that feedback is going to be all over the place in a beta. Some players are heading into dungeons they know nothing about and getting frustrated when someone can't immediately explain the boss mechanics to them. Some just have no sense in investment since this isn't their "real" character (such irony). Some of the bosses are overtuned and some of the class abilities are undertuned at this stage. Because Uldum and Twilight don't have quest rewards yet, there are also some folks who are just really undergeared. Half your glyphs probably don't work. The new enchants aren't readily available. And so it goes. That sort of thing will all get ironed out over the next several weeks.

You shouldn't have huge mana problems in a normal dungeon. Your middle heal should get you through most of it just fine. You'll have to use more of your emergency heals in the heroics and raids, and you'll also be expected to gear up a little more for the heroics and raids. In Burning Crusade, players went and finished the Shadowmoon quest lines or got their reps to Exalted or maxed out their trade skills in order to have the best gear available for the heroics and raids. That is our model for Cataclysm. (Source)

    I am working. Is it a quest you can do anytime or an event that restarts every hour or so?

    Hmm...I don't know what I want to do. My account is currently cancelled, but I'm tempted to come back for the event. However, I don't want to play the game unless the new race/class combos are out, or unless new servers come up.

    They don't appear to be live on EU yet, will have to wait until after maintenance.

    Seems like EU players have to wait until tomorrow to experience it.

    btw, is this quest phased? Or do you do the quest with others?

  1. Noomz's Avatar
    You might want to specify that it's US only, since you've had your maintenance there and we haven't. Tuesday for US, Wednesday for EU.

    yayyyy for 3 reasons. 1. the events sound awesome and itll be cool to have something new to do. 2. this means cata cant be far away at all now and 3. The only reason i kept my hunter as an ally while faction changing the rest of my chars was so i could have one char to do operation gnomeregan......after this is complete i no longer have to keep a stinking dwarf hunter on a server where the horde alliance ratio is like 10/1......he can finnaly be faction changed and actully win a wg battle woot!

    It's NOT a patch. It's just "there" after maintenance, since it was patched in during 3.3.5
  1. nillerfreak's Avatar
    please tell if this only US? :P
  1. mmoc7f0039a300's Avatar
    I can confirm, this event is currently NOT active on the EU servers.

    My guess is tommorow.
