The Queue: Family reunion

You know, I’m pretty sure it was a really awkward family reunion, but this little tableau of elves made me terribly happy. It’s nice to know that despite their many differences, all of them will still come together to fight for a united cause. Granted, it’s a world-ending kind of cause, but hey, at least they’re trying to get along.

I haven’t quite finished the Nightfallen quest chain, but I think I’m nearing its end — and I’m a little sad about that. Suramar is hands-down my favorite zone I’ve ever played through in this game. Just on the merits of that one zone alone, I think Legion is poised to nudge Mists of Pandaria out of the number one spot on my favorite expansions list. We’ve still got a lot of expansion left to play, but I can already tell I’m going to really, really miss this place when we’re gone.

I had a weird experience the other day. After zoning in to the Northrend location of Dalaran for some good old fashioned transmog farming, I discovered Tirion’s statue had gone missing. In its place was the original Dalaran fountain. Supposedly the fountain should have been replaced on the server first kill of the Lich King. But for some reason, this one stayed put — although it has the plaque to start the cinematic for the Lich King’s death. I’m not sure why there’s a discrepancy here, but it was pretty nice to see the old fountain back in action again.
