I decided, since there are so many threads here about worgen, I'd make one purely for our little green psychos.
Just keep this thread aimmed mostly at goblins, if making comparisons to other things ingame.
I for one, am glad we got goblins in cataclysm. A lot of ppl make a big thing about having a 'small' race to play like the gnomes goblins, but really I think of it as an advantage, things seeming bigger from that angle makes it more intresting (sometimes drinking a load of pygmy oil before a bg).
Also, goblin races really do rock, a jump belt, imagining that in pvp is to awesome, along with there sneeky discount racial and having a personal banker.
Its also a good chance to develop the goblin lore. when it comes to it, goblins have been around even since around war of the ancients, so even before orcs and humans faught there were there. So just getting to play as one now as part of a faction, its a good chance to show goblins can be kinda heroic, and not just money grabbing slave drivers.
And just because there a small race doesn't mean anything bad, imagining a goblin rogue doing the same thing to allys that gnome rogues have done to the horde for years is just so sweet to discribe. What would you find more scary, a group of werewolves running as you with fangs and claws.. or a group of
tiny green mean with bombs on there back
ready to blast them werewolves into tender wolf steak?

What would you find more scary, a group of werewolves running as you with fangs and claws tearing you to shreads, and making pelts out of your corpse, and having Wolvirene-like powers, not to mention the top hats.. or a group of tiny green men with bombs on there back ready commit suicide?
Fix'd
Worgen get more threads because Goblins are n000000bz.
They are ok I guess, but I haven't found any reason to drool over them yet.
Feel free to enlighten me.
I don't really see whats so cool about blowing yourself up...
you know I'm really not gonna play your silly game anymore.
Try to run from me? nope, i gots my rocket jump.
Low on health? extra health on my pots.
Hearthstone on CD?, instant banking anywhere.
all this tied up in one little psychoic green man or woman with an obsession with money, what isn't win about that?

Cataclysm
After the cataclysm reawakened a volcano on their home island one of the goblins' trade princes realized that there was good money to be made in offering panicked goblins a ticket to safety on his ship, taking their life savings - and then selling them into slavery. A clever plan, until it (and the ship) fell apart in a naval crossfire between an Alliance fleet and a lone Horde ship. The shipwreck's survivors washed ashore on the Lost Isles off the coast of Kalimdor, where they discover that the island's dense jungles harbor many mysteries and more than a few unpleasant surprises.
There, the goblins of Kezan have found a new enemy in the Alliance – unexpected and unprofitable encounters with this faction have driven certain trade princes from their comfortable neutrality. Reforging old pacts with their one-time allies, the goblins have been welcomed into the Horde with open armsThey've got a pretty good new story heh.

Hey look, uber bank alts. As a plus they can use their belts to fly between the Auction House and the mailbox faster. They don't need to travel anywhere else..
They would look nice with a diamond tipped cane a monocle tux and a top hat.
If only they had a racial to reduce AH prices...
One more thing I need to see if the name Pennywise is availible.

I did a page search for the word "Twilight' and was pleasantly surprised no one took a moronic Twilight-related stab at Worgen. There may be hope yet for human kind, but I doubt it.
I said it before, but I'll repeat it here.
I'll admit it, even though I'm pretty Horde-esque just now, I was crazy excited for Worgen. I still am, really. I really want to roll one. But I don't see how the unavoidable Worgen EXPLOSION that will occur once Cataclysm hits doesn't turn anyone else off the race entirely. I don't want to be associated with a race that will, for sure, be majorly composed of 13 year old and morons. Everyone and their mother is going to roll a Worgen. And their mother's mother. And their mother's mother's dog. I understand if you want to roll one for the lore or whatnot, and more power to you, mate. But I can guarantee you that MOST of the people who will roll "a new worgen main lol" will do it out of a "LOL WHEREWULFZ!" craze more than anything else, and I hope you have fun trying to overcome that stereotype. I've had enough of that with my Death Knight, thank you, and I don't wish to repeat it.
I, for one, will be rolling a Goblin mage when Cataclysm hits. I'm not saying this will be my new main, but I'd like to see the Goblin starting area, try out the new leveling content Horde-side, and I've always been keen on leveling a mage, but never had the incentive to do so. I will be rolling a Worgen as well, because, I'm sorry, "LOL WHEREWULFZ!". Plus their starting area looking well done and I'd like to see the new Alliance leveling process as well.
