Kezan: The Goblin Starting Experience (1-5)

I played my Goblin Rogue "Goldengrin" through the goblin starting area of Kezan. Here is my experience.

On Kezan, you start off as a pretty wealthy goblin. You work for the Trade Prince of your cartel, Gallywix, in a very high position in the biggest company of Kezan: The Kezan Trading Company. You have your own personal assistant, a lot of friends and a cute girlfriend named Candy Cane. There are even rumors that you might run for the position of Trade Prince and  that you would actually be able to win. You are really popular.

In celebration of your recent promotion you are throwing the party of the century at your own, personal pool. Before this, however, you are given your first task after your promotion. In the nearby Kaja'mite mine the troll slaves are refusing to work and cave worms are invading the tunnels. Only one guy can fix this: You. You head in there, teach those blasted trolls a lesson, kill some worms and also pick up a batch of Kaja'cola, a drink made to give you ideas.

Your executive assistant sends you off to complete the last tasks before the party: Pick up your best friends, get your money in the bank and buy new clothes, beat some some people that owe you money and help the coach near the Kajaro Fields win a match against the Steamwheedle Sharks in a game of Footbomb. To get to these places you jump into your super-cool Hot Rod and drive on the roads of Kezan. You can honk, change the radio-channel (changes the music) and run over goblins while in this Hot Rod. Awesome.

I started by completing the footbomb quests, which puts you in a shredder to play a football-esque game when you bomb your opponents. In the end you are asked to kick the ball and hit Mount Kajaro. When you do this, the earth starts shaking. After you beat up the thugs and pick up your friends it's time to go the the bank, which probably has the longest line in the World of Warcraft. But you don't care - you're popular and you skip the line. After getting the money you go and buy new clothes, bling and glasses and head back to the headquarters for your party.


'Sup ladies? Like the suit?

At the party, you need to entertain your guests until you are notified that Gallywix has arrived and wants to speak with you. You head upstairs in the headquarters and meet Gallywix who tells you that the volcano is about to erupt and that his yacht can take all the people of Bilgewater Port away to Kalimdor. But he doesn't want to take you with him unless he is paid a gazillion macaroons, which is your entire life savings plus a little more. He intends to sell your race to slavery if you do not pay him as he has recently allied with a group of pirates that are wrecking your party.




You head down to your party and kills a lot of the pirates. And now it's time to earn a gazillion macaroons so that you can come with Gallywix and avoid your race being enslaved! How do you do this? First, you are entasked with breaking into your personal vault in the bank as well as steal a few antique artifacts from Gallywix' villa while disguised as one of his guards. You must also get stolen loot from pirates all over the town! This is all while the sky begins to rain fire as the volcano erupts. You need to be fast.


The bank vault is unlocked through a little mini-game where you have to click the icon according to which icon appears in the middle of the screen. Eventually, the box will open and you can pick up your savings. I then headed over to Gallywix' villa and disguised myself as one of his hobgoblin guards.

Once in there, I stole "The Goblin Lisa", "Maldy's Falcon" and "The Ultimate Bomb". I ran over a couple of pirates to get the twenty pieces of stolen loot I needed. I returned in my Hot Rod to the headquarters where I met with my execute assistant, Sassy.

Sassy tells me that we still need a few money before we can afford a ride for me away from here as well as save our race. We need to burn the headquarters down and get the insurance money. This is done by lighting the leaky stove, dropping a cigar on the bed and overload the generator. As soon as this is done, the robot Gasbot will take care of the rest.



With the headquarters burning and the insurancemoney in hand you realize that you are late and that Gallywix is about to sail off without you and sell your race to the highest bid.



You don't have much time so Sassy takes your keys as you jump into the backseat of your Hot Rod and she puts the pedal to the metal down the road. She is clearly a woman driver as she runs down a lot of goblins on the way. As the yacht is about to leave, the Hot Rod lands on the deck and you deliver your life savings to Gallywix, who is clearly annoyed by your presence. The island of Kezan is destroyed as you sail off towards Kalimdor..
