This week's World of Warcraft maintenance is an exact match to last week's maintenance: all WoW Classic servers are scheduled to be offline for one hour, while Midnight servers are scheduled to be offline for two hours.

The Amazon class is coming to Diablo 4 and I couldn't be more excited.

BlizzCon 2026 is over, and we are all exhausted from the tsunami of news Blizzard revealed this weekend.

The Coiled Isle has finally done it. I’m going to spec tank. I just can’t deal with being overwhelmed and murdered by snakes all the time, particularly in the Vaults of Atal’Utek where it is very easy to get overwhelmed and murdered by snakes.

Being surrounded by snakes is bad enough on its own without the regular need to run back to my corpse (through snakes) to get killed (by snakes) again because I’ve died somewhere inconvenient and the rest of the group has moved on. Time to spec Blood and become ungovernable, no snake will stop me.

Well, no more than usual.

But in between my own cries of terror, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I make my best attempts to answer your questions. Let’s go.

It's a fairly short WoW  maintenance today, with one hour of maintenance for all Classic realms and a slightly extended two hours for Midnight realms.

It turns out being kidnapped by talking Deathclaws really isn't that bad, as long as you don't mind the moral quandaries that come along with them...

While we're continuing our adventures on cursed snake island (otherwise known as the Coiled Isle), at least we have some Tortollan friends.

World of Warcraft patch 12.1.5 is launching on October 13.

The Midnight Season 2 Race to World First is over, and Team Liquid claimed victory for the fifth raid tier in a row.

I’m trying to improve my perspective on the latest WoW patch, and looking for the positive side of cursed snake island. There has to be something good about this place, something to appreciate. I found this pleasant waterfall, which might be a nice place to sit with a picnic blanket. I don’t see a single snake.

But I do see giants, and there are some unfriendly beasties in the water, as well as insects flying around. Even without the snakes, this is hard to recommend as a vacation spot. I’ll keep trying to look on the bright side, but I haven’t found it yet.

So let’s get to the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your questions. Let’s get to the comments.
