WoW: Loremaster's Corner #5: A Steampunk Paradise

Posted March 9th, 2010 by Xerin

Did you ever stop to realize how much steampunk is in WoW?

World of Warcraft has a lot of steampunk themes and we take a look at them this week in our Loremaster's Corner. What kind of technology is in WoW, how will things change in Cataclysm with the Gnomes and Goblins, and what do the various factions and races think about technology? All of this and more in this week's Loremaster's Corner.

The majority of the Horde could care less about it. Orcs steal technology, the Forsaken care a little bit about it, Taurens make elevators, and Trolls like guns. That’s it. There isn’t any major Orcish invention that isn’t focused on blowing people up and there aren’t many original Orcish designs. Of course, like I said earlier, Elves do not like technology at all meaning Blood Elves do not want to look at it. Even their Arcane Guardians are not robots but instead arcane constructs.


Steampunk, Technology, and WoW right here. Be sure to stay tuned for more editions of the Loremaster's Corner
