Good afternoon, Queue! I will be your host today, and am going to be making a permanent swap to doing the Queue on Wednesday because I keep getting really busy on Thursday/Friday which has occasionally resulted in late Queues. (Definitely not just because I’m staying up to watch Critical Role, I am legitimately very busy at the end of the week, definitely.)

But enough about me. How are you all doing? Let’s answer some questions, Queue.

World of Warcraft has maintained a solid content cadence ever since the start of Dragonflight and the 2025 schedule for The War Within suggests the pace isn't slowing down soon.

It's Tuesday, which means it's maintenance day for World of Warcraft realms in North America and Australia.

This is very undignified. That’s really all there is to say about it. At least last time this happened I was right-side up. But no.

Anyway, while I’m here I may as well try to answer some questions before the blood all rushes to my head and I pass out. Let’s Queue.

It's Friday, and the World of Warcraft servers had some surprise maintenance this morning.

For April Fools' the Warcraft team joked that a typo in player housing incorrectly characterized the feature: instead it was player houses, allowing players to literally be houses.

It's another week of short maintenance for World of Warcraft, with just the standard hour-long downtime for modern, Classic, and Cataclysm Classic realms.

While there are still plenty of crunchy tabletop games out there, lately we're playing a lot of shorter TTRPGs that lean into narrative elements — and are easier to schedule than long form campaigns.

It’s a big dangerous world out there, but it does look a little bit bigger when you’re encountering it from gnome height. But if we were intimidated by every robot dinosaur and giant ape duo we saw, we would never get out of bed.

But for now, we can take a break between pulls to answer a few (a very few) questions.

This week's maintenance schedule for World of Warcraft is once again refreshingly light: all WoW servers will be down for just an hou this morning.
