At this point I’m more or less done with the prepatch event — or, at least, I’m doing about as much of it as I can stand. Now, I’m doing my own prepatch prep. Namely, I’m trying to wrap up all these little random quests in my log from expansions past that I just can’t seem to shake to clear quest slots for next expansion. Unfortunately, every one I do is apparently part of a long chain I don’t want to miss or mess up the next steps of, so I’m out here killing N’zoth once a week for… parts? I only have to kill Teron Gorefiend in Legion one more time for Khadgar to be satisfied before he sends me on to the next bit of the adventure. I need to do some stuff for Wrathion but I’m not sure which expansion he’s in, and the description just tells me to find him.

Anyway, we’re here now. So, that’s great. Love that for me.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and at least I’ll get some lumber out of it.

We're still one whole World of Warcraft expansion away from The Last Titan, but we have now learned that we won't just be taking a quick trip to Ulduar for the return of the Pantheon -- we'll be exploring a fully updated and modernized continent of Northrend.

All World of Warcraft realms have a longer than usual maintenance today, but hopefully not too long: all servers are scheduled for two hours of maintenance this morning.

Watchers, in honor of today’s (U.S.) holiday, we're celebrating another birth announcement from the nation’s capital.

The Lunar Festival is back in World of Warcraft!

In this economy?

I’ve finally gotten around to playing the latest Dragon Age game, and it’s pretty good so far. I’ve made the first big choice (which city to defend from dragon attack) that I regretted about an hour after making it — so that’s a typical BioWare experience. I try really hard not to look up guides and playthroughs for the story beats of these games; I want all of my messiness to be fully earned. That one hurt, though, as I was left with a character I liked being sidelined and devastated by the destruction in their city, and another I didn’t have strong feelings for sticking around all happy-go-lucky. Still, I’ve come too far, and this just gives me the extra layer of reality, as there is no reloading a save in real life.

Still, my Necro mage is having a good time bopping around between planes of existence and trying to flirt with anything that has a pulse.

While I spend too long trying to figure out the path to that chest I can see just on the edge of that ledge over there, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

To celebrate the release of the Midnight pre-patch, there's a new Twitch Drop to earn in World of Warcraft: the Cuddly Green Grrgle!

Roadmap season is officially over for Blizzard games, as this year's 2026 plans for Hearthstone and Diablo both rolled out last week.

Blizzard has come out of the gate strong with the first two Player Housing decor items available for purchase with real money from the in-game shop: an adorable plush lion and wolf.

I don’t believe in witches, but if they fly, they fly.

This is an extra-spooky Friday the 13th edition of The Queue, our daily Q&A where you ask us scary questions and we give you frightening answers. Hopefully. Probably. Look, scaring people is hard.

BOO!
