I'm not sure the usual "die, insects!" line works here, but Ragnaros is pretty fond of it, and I'd hate to upset our resident Firelord since he does have an occasional fondness for murdering us.

Update: Yes, the servers are up.

Ah, the day before the day.

WoW's patch 8.0 is due out tomorrow, and with it, the game world is shifting under our feet.

But come tomorrow, it’s pumpkins we shall have. So let’s enjoy our final day with our carriage/artifact while we can… and, oh, I guess we can do the Queue, too.

After the big reveal that patch 8.0 is arriving on Tuesday (or Wednesday for those of you in Europe), it's been a quiet day for all things Blizzard.

The big news came late in the day on Thursday.

Finally!

Okay. I don’t really wear hats in game because they crop in weird ways with my hair and inevitably look stupid. (Also Gnomes are super cute and why would you want to hide that with some bulky helmet?) So, really, this is a metaphorical jaunty hat. (Just don’t ask what it’s a metaphor for, because I really have no idea.)

Got it? Good. Let’s get to the Queue.

These days, Blizzard has enough games to make Tuesday always patch day.
