Did they (the worgens and the other gilneans) ever take it back?
No, but canonically winning Arathi gives the Alliance a road towards reclamation, should they ever get around to it.
Who knows at this pointâŠI thought they did from the mission table quest that said they did, now apparently they didnât. I am just going to head canon it and say they did.

I guess weâll pray for the day the world goes mad and I get put in charge of blizzard so I can make and expac where an entire patch is gnome content.

Danuserâs timeskip post actually used the reclamation of Gilneas as an example of big events that wonât happen offscreen during the timeskip so I suspect itâs currently abandoned.
Weâre using Gilneas as the camp for where we are sending the Forsaken to learn to stand up right or never rejoin the world of Azeroth, as punishment for their crimes.
Weâll compensate the worgen with peanuts and a letter saying âNo.â

Oh really? Could you link that for me? I havenât kept up with game after the launch of SL until about a week ago.
This is why Blizzard is sometimes dumb. (Spaceballs Dark Helmet voice)
Storytime with Norman:
I hope this is new to some of you, because that would be neat.jpg. It also gives me a moment to drop some Gnome info.
Head over to Ironforge and fly to Gnomer. Once youâre facing the entrance, take note of the huge mountain in front of you. Now, fly up and over it.
Surprised? For the unawareâŠ
There is a enormous snowy valley behind the Gnomer mountain before you even get to the coastline. Prime real estate. Itâs been there as long as I can remember. (which is as back as far as BC.) I used to RP entire campaigns here with some other Gnome friends. There werenât trees in the beginning but back in Cata they added a beautiful little winter forest and two camps, each on the far end of each side of the Valley. One camp is entirely empty, save for a tent, campfire, etc. The other little camp was taken over by a family of bears which have chased the Buckey brothers up a tree, where they remain to this day. The bears have been holding them hostage for over 12 years.
Gnomer is built into a large mountain. Leave it as it is. Expand UPWARDS onto the mountain and over it into the Valley. If you fly OVER the far side of the valley towards the coastline, you will also notice that the coast (although mountainous) has some perfectly shaped outcroppings that could easily be built up into FOBS, outposts, heliports, whatever. Can you imagine hopping on a tram outside of Gnomer, taking it up and over the mountain into the valley? The Gnome version of Thunder Buffâs lift! How cool would that be?
You could even run a tram from the valley, down through the mountain to the sea and create a little seaside village.
So many opportunitiesâŠ
Iâve said this before and I am being 100% genuine. I would literally volunteer my time for free to a billion-dollar corporation to assist however I could in making this happen.
I wish someone would sit down and beat Blizz into submission until they realize what they have here, because Iâm not sure they get it.
This goes for all the races - including Worgen. If you wonât give us player housing, give us a genuine place to hang our hats.

I mean Sylvanas kinda mini nuked it with the Blight (questline in Silverpine) so Iâd say that place is unlivable.
Calia got help from everyoneâs favorite SCP from the House of Plagues to fix up the Blight issue.
Thereâs a lot of things that FFXIV does pretty well, but one of my favorites is how they take time to come back to territories youâve been to and see how theyâve changed (or not changed). Their main story patches are always great, but their âclean-upâ patches afterward are also so much fun.
Cataclysm probably could have been a lot of fun if it ended with a series of events just kind of showing people making peace with what happened or ending on a consequential note. Blizzardâs method of just saying âand then the bad guy diedâ is not fun.

Specific line:
As for changes to the world that have been discussed or foreshadowed, such as the resettlement of Gilneas, those will not be happening during the fast-forward. As cool as it is to show locations and populations evolving because of story progression, we want events of this importance to be in-game questing that our players experience for themselves (as with the reclaiming of the Ruins of Lordaeron in the 9.2.5 update) rather than having it happen off-camera.

I saw either in and earlier thread or maybe it was Trade Chat or LFG chat ingame, but someone had an idea about having a much smaller âupdateâ team that focuses on single zones (generally the ones that need it the most).
These teams would look at WoWâs Old World and decide which ones need modernizing the most based around which zones in the old world are used the most for questing, and then get to work creating patches that would bring said zones into the modern era (if for nothing else other than making it easier to traverse said zones above making them modern lore compliant).
Then when each zone was updated, theyâd just get patched in or lumped in with whatever next big update was happening. It would be the best way to start updating and getting the world out of Cataclysm. Just two or three people at most and nothing high priority, it gets done when it gets done, but I think it was a great idea to help revitalize and refresh those old zones.

Oh neato. And did lorderon really get reclaimed or was that all of screen?
There was a questline where you discuss the subject of recolonizing Tirisfal with a variety of forsaken notables, but it isnât really âreclaimedâ in the sense of âpeople are (un)living in the Undercity againâ
People seem to be (un)living in the Ruins of Lordaeron again at the end, as the Ruins are cleansed of Blight and various NPCs get stationed there. Iâm pretty sure, though, that it was explicitly said that the Undercity itself is still blighted and unlivable, with the Forsaken planning to address that at a later time.
Itâs fine we donât want it anymore anyway, itâs been sitting too long and thereâs just dander and cobwebs everywhere
