The Queue: EU WoW, selfie camera, follower upgrades, and glowing eyes

I had a lot of problems coming up with an intro today. But then I realized something… I think I’ve spoken about every food, every drink, every meme, and every TV show or film in the world. There is nothing left to opine over anymore.

So that’s it. Show’s over, wrap it up, everyone.

Oh wait, you have WoW questions? And non were about flying? Awesome, let’s dive in.


KOMARD ASKED:

I pose this question for the Queue. For years I have been playing on US Servers, and while I have enjoyed my time I have found myself wanting to give the game a go on an EU server. That said I ask you this 2 part question. If I want to play on an EU server how do I go about it? Can I transfer my account to an EU server or Must I start over with a new account and server?

There isn’t any way for you to transfer your characters over to an EU server, or otherwise transfer your account. If you want to start on the EU servers, you’ll need to start from square one. This can be somewhat liberating too, as you’ll need to level without any previous character to support you — no heirlooms, no free bags, no gold, nothing. Just yourself and your sword (because of course you’d pick a warrior for your first character).

To actually buy the game, you’ll need to go and create an account via the EU site and follow the steps there. Years ago you weren’t able to purchase an EU copy from the US, but I believe that has since changed. I had an EU account for a bit, back when PTRs used to come out earlier over there, and I had to have a friend buy me an account.

Man… this is making me want to go and sign up for an EU account now and start from scratch. Ugh. I need to get my brain on something else quick.


DRACONIC MAN ASKED:

The header screenshot made me think: How do blood elves get to sleep when their eyes are constantly emitting light? Wouldn’t their eyelids just keep in that emitted light when their eyes closed, making it impossible to sleep?

They have a second set of eyelids that come out from the sides of their eyes inward. It’s a little strange to watch, but it’s the primary reason that they’re shunned from normal society. Weirdos.


DREYFUS ASKED:

QFQ: So, I usually am not someone who takes a lot of selfies but when I saw the Selfie camera, I wanted to get one for vlogging and machinima. I have a tin foil hat theory or two:

1. Does Twitter need to be enabled?

2. Do High res models need to be activated in order to use the selfie camera? I had a bit of a theory with this one, because I have yet to see a selfie taken that uses a low res model. I’ve even had a friend mention that she had completed 200 missions beforehand as well.

Twitter does not need to be enabled for the selfie camera to work.

And the selfie camera will work with whatever level of textures you have enabled.


TURNED ASKED:

QFTQ – how long do you think we should have to wait till the 615/630/645 follower upgrades should be BOA or tradeable? i can no longer use 615 or 630 weapon or armour upgrades on my main’s followers and must have 10 of each.. would greatly appreciate being able to trade them in for +3,+6 or +9’s or being able to post them to an alt..

This is something that I want to happen now. So baring a hotfix that makes them bind on account, I’d be happy if they go that way in patch 6.2. I have twenty level 615 weapon and armor upgrades on my main that I’m not using at all. It’d be super duper to just send them over to an alt and give them a leg up.

The other thing that would be nice is if there was a combination effect somehow — like two 615 weapons can be combined to a 630, and two 630s can be combined to make a 645, etc… That’d at least give them some purpose beyond being an annoying reward.
