EVERY Gnome now hates me!!!

[Gaelic 0]

So earlier today i was in the Stonetalon Mountains zone completing the "Fire-Hardened Hauberk" Quest for my warrior.

On the way to the place where the neccessary mobs spawn i dropped by a gnome to hand in a Quest or two. At this point everything was as normal.

Once i finished farming the required drops for the warrior quest i started to make my way back up North to the Flight Path.

 

On my way though i decided to take a "look-around"  as this is my first time back in WoW since the initial release.

I stumbled on a "shortcut" to the gnome i mentioned earlier (as i couldnt remember if he , or the Night Elf npc near him vendored & i needed to sell to clear my bags) which took me past an Orc encampment.

For a laugh & genuine curiosity i decided to drop down into the Orc place & try & run thru!! Lols... i promptly got myself "jumped" by npc's & killed  :)

 

Lesson learned i raised my corpse & ran back to the gnome as fast as possible , lols.

NOW, when i got to the gnome i noticed his nameplate's background was now showing red. I didnt even give this much thought at this time, not until MUCH later, when i was back in IronForge & attempted to accept & hand in some Quests. I found that not a single gnome will let me interact with them regards Quests.

Ive tried Googling this but cant find anything. Can someone PLEASE inform me as to how i can fix this? I kind of understand what's happened, although as to how its happened ive no clue at all. No combat was performed anywhere near the gnome in Stonetalon Mountains, im assuming its somehow related to me getting aggro from the Orc Guard npc's, & the gnomes are being speceist, lols. No, seriously, is this a bug? How the heck has this happened?

 

Im glad ive finished the main Gnomeregan Quests, but if im unable to interact with any Gnomes for the remainder, i reckon id just quit this character tbh, & i REALLY dont wanna do that.

 

Thank you in advance for ANY replies. Someone whose played  a looooong time should have an idea of just how this has happened, & then hopefully HOW to fix it  :)

 

EDIT: Im on the PvE server & my reputaion is about 1K short of revered with the gnomes (unchanged i believe) Every other race im Revered with.SW almost halfway to the next "Level" (Exalted is it?)

P.s. The gnomes don't actually attack me or anything. The only difference is the nameplate is red & i cant accept or hand in any Quests  :/

That sounds like a client glitch, try deleting your WTF and WDB folders and logging back in. Save your key-bindings and configs first so you don't have to reconfigure them all.

Thanks loads mate  :)

 

Now i know what to do if my client messes up in the future  :)

 

Ive not gone & checked the original offending gnome back in the Stonetalon Mountain zone, but im almost certain he'll be fine again now too
