The Queue: I have a new best friend
My new best friend is named Ethrandil, and he’s the only one in Azeroth who seems to be with me on this snake thing. Why are we here on cursed snake island? Why is anyone here? Why are we slaves to this torment and when can we go home?
We are now besties, bonded for life over our mutual terror, because the exposure therapy of spending so much time on cursed snake island is not helping. (And yes, you’re going to get to hear me talk about this for the next six months. Blame Blizzard.)
But while I bask in the joy of new-found friendship, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I try to answer your questions in between bouts of being terrified of certain fanged reptiles. Let’s get to the questions!
A modest maintenance day for World of Warcraft — all servers back online!
Blizzard Watch Weekly: Our long national nightmare (of snakes) continues
The Queue: No, really, why did it have to be snakes?
I’d rather be fishing.
In a nice sunny spot on the coast. Maybe I could bring my umbrella. Not a snake or pool of venom in sight. It would be glorious.
But no, instead I’m on the Coiled Isle, having a panic attack while a dozen snakes twisted into a single mega-snake comes at me. This is the life of a hero of Azeroth, apparently.
This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I’d rather not talk about snakes but somehow keep coming back to them, because they’re everywhere and I can’t get them out of my mind.
Another long maintenance day for Midnight, but a quick one-hour maintenance for Classic — all servers back online!

The Queue: Duck picnic day
Some days you just need a nice picnic with your duck friend. To sit in the shade and drink some tea and watch the world go by. And why wait until some day when it could be today? Let’s go have a duck picnic.
This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we attempt to answer your question and sometimes ducks just show up. Let’s go!
