It's been a quiet holiday week in the US, which means news has been a little thin as everyone scatters for the holidays.

I’m just going to start and end with that: transmog is too expensive.

And I’m going to keep saying it until Blizzard hears me.

But I guess I can take a break from screaming at the sky to write the Queue.

This week's WoW maintenance is scheduled for a brief hour this week, and after many weeks of lengthy maintenances, I'm surprised.

We're one week farther into 2025 which means we're one week closer to Player Housing, which hits early access on December 2.

Blizzard added transmog to the Midnight beta this week, and I’ll tell you all more about it when I am not swinging wildly between incandescent rage and crushing disappointment. Transmog is dead (to me), long live transmog.

Let’s Queue.

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for weekly WoW maintenance, which are trending on the longer side — though none of the WoW servers are scheduled to be offline for too long.

I can stop staring at the login screen any time I want.

The new login screen is kind of mesmerizing. Maybe I don’t even want to reconnect. Maybe I just want to stare into the swirling darkness, leaning ever closer to my monitor…

No, wait, I need to write the Queue. Let’s do this.

We've had a whole lot of long WoW maintenances lately, but we've finally reached an almost-not-long-maintenance.

There's not much longer to wait for the Midnight beta to launch, but if you're waiting for the latest news about Midnight (and/or player housing), you may as well catch up on last week's news first.
