I absolutely adore Karazhan. I have run it hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, both in at-level groups and at higher levels. (Memorably, I recall trying to do the raid with a group of three Paladins during Wrath of the Lich King. We started around 2am and I don’t think we’d figured out how to get past the chess event by 5am.)

The art and atmosphere are great. The music is great. The boss encounters are fun, and some have a great sense of humor (like Opera) while others have been given a sense of humor by the players (like Shade of Aran). In part, I just like the place, which feels like nothing else in World of Warcraft, and in part I have lots of great memories of running it with friends during Burning Crusade. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it return in Legion, but we’ll talk about that more in today’s Q&A, below.

We first encountered The Tall Grass because of this adorable Santa Pepe ornament, but as it turns out the shop has plenty of figurines for a World of Warcraft fan — or Pokemon fan or League of Legends fan or Studio Ghibli fan — to love.

It's that time of the week again.

When Heroes of the Storm comes back online after today's maintenance, it will be with a new patch and and a substantial set of patch notes.

When we first reported on #FriendshipMoose, a community initiative to help players get their own Grove Warden moose mount from Heroic Archimonde in patch 6.2.3 (launching today), it was a one-person endeavor.

Blizzard has always worked to make World of Warcraft the best game possible — and sometimes that's meant borrowing features from elsewhere, from other games or from popular WoW addons.

Many have complained about locking WoW's much-wished-for moose mount, the Grove Warden, behind Heroic Archimonde -- though perhaps there were an equal number of complaints when it was assumed to be a store mount.

It seems like just yesterday World of Warcraft was celebrating its tenth anniversary — video games grow up so fast these days, don't they?

Can’t keep up with all of the great WoW-centric (and WoW-adjacent) webcomics out there?

I am pretty excited about Outlaw Rogues. Just how excited am I? I’ve already started annoying my guild with Pirates of Penzance.

Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I’ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King Queen.

And now it’s time to move on before we get too far into my affection for operetta. Another day has dawned over the Queue, which means it’s time for your questions and our answers — and I promise they’re not all about pirates.
