It is widely accepted amongst writers here at Blizzard Watch that the Queue is haunted.

Oh, sure, you could chalk it up to the fact that the Queue is written on some custom (very custom) code that runs in an old (very old) version of our CMS, but in actuality, we all know what it is. It’s ghosts. Questions or answers sometimes disappear; that’s just the ghosts at work. Entire posts have vanished after the Queue is scheduled to run sometimes, so you can’t just preview it, schedule it, and go — no, you must also perform the ritual of checking it after scheduling to ensure that the hungry ghosts are appeased and do not eat your post.

Well, we finally took some of our Patreon bucks and hired a young priest, an old priest, and a Liz Patt to exorcise these ghosts from the Queue. They might not look quite the same as they used to, but at least they’ll be ghost-free after this weekend.

This is the Queue, our daily question-and-answer column where we know the answer to “who you gonna call?” is another Liz. Let’s get into it.

WoW: Forever begins now -- or a couple days ago?

The newest Hearthstone expansion, Reign of the Black Empire, is a bit of a throwback -- a few hundred thousand years, give or take, to when the Old Gods and Titans clashed on primordial Azeroth.

There's a place where time unwinds and space dissolves, beyond the event horizon where you'll find Hearthstone's Void Singularity Tavern Brawl.

The latest World of Warcraft Twitch Drop is the Pouch of Violet Dust, an extremely time-limited toy for WoW: Forever.

It’s the first full day of a new/old Blizzard game with the launch of World of Warcraft: Forever, which has us all caught between the lure of nostalgia and the lure of new content. And without anything to buy, it’s pretty tempting to log on and check it out… perhaps falling into the nostalgia trap yourself.

But maybe it’s worth it, to turn back the clock and try to re-experience Azeroth in Forever. Maybe it’s a brand new/old day for Warcraft.

And in the meanwhile, the Midnight servers feel empty and hopefully you, like me, are not still trying to get your Ahead of the Curve achievement as your guild has grown a little disenchanted with the modern game. Gulp.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we do our best to answer your gaming (and other) questions. Let’s get to it.

Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free.

The ladder reset for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 16 starts Friday, November 13 at 5pm pacific (8pm eastern).

So yeah, I’ve been trying to write the intro to this Queue and every possible thing that could interfere to stop me has in fact happened. So here’s a picture of my dog because y’all were showing pictures of your pets yesterday, I might as well get in on that.

World of Warcraft: Forever is scheduled to launch today, November 4, at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern), but before the servers come online they'll be down for maintenance that runs from 10am - 3pm pacific (1pm - 6pm eastern).
