How fast do you think content should release in an MMO?
Blizzard currently has two MMOs -- the venerable World of Warcraft, which has been in operation for 18 years (19 this November, and it's a little terrifying to realize WoW could vote if it were a person) and the more recent mobile MMO, Diablo Immortal. Now, over the years I've come to consider a certain pace of content delivery to be the norm, but in reality many MMOs release content at a much quicker pace than World of Warcraft.
The Queue: Cause I’m playing it all wrong
I don’t do jubilant. Even when I am exceedingly, ecstatically happy, I don’t show it. At best I cackle, like any good New Englander should. But even that feels overindulgent. Nevertheless, I hope that there are questions in today’s Queue that I can answer because then I feel useful for one brief moment.
How long should it take for legacy content to be completely soloable?

Will Diablo 3 have a Season 29?
Seasonal play in Diablo 3 has been a real highlight of the game, and has ignited or reignited interest in players for years now, myself included.
The Queue: The anguish and the ecstasy of transmog
One of my favorite sets is the Heroic version of the Sanctified Ymirjar Lord’s Battlegear, the red variant. But there’s a really noticeable problem with this set — no, not the belly shirt, I’ve made my peace with that one. Instead, it’s the lack of a belt that is considered part of the set. It used to be the lack of a belt and boots, but then they added the heroic version of the Etched Dragonbone Warboots back in Legion.
