Warcraft Rumble's eighth season is currently underway, having premiered the new Dryad unit alongside the Scholomance dungeon.

The first raid in the current World of Warcraft expansion, The War Within, is the Nerub-ar Palace, and it's opening September 10.

I have a headcanon that intrepid explorer Brann Bronzebeard is also by necessity a polyglot. He is the first one to make contact with all these new races and factions we meet, so he quite painstakingly tries to preserve things like their place names and such so that the Champion can have a touchstone. Unfortunately, Brann isn’t so great with punctuation or sometimes even the precise spellings, so sometimes the maps and names will change over time. It’s kind of his YOLO nature that it’s important to just get it down first, and edit later if it’s important.

Anyway, just in case you’re having a time removing the apostrophe from Nerub-ar Palace (yes, it is now officially Nerub-ar Palace), you too can feel free to blame Brann.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll scapegoat somebody into being an answer.

Long maintenance is starting to become a staple for The War Within, and so it's no surprise that here at the start of Season 1, we have one more long maintenance day.

I sure hope you have a comfortable chair and a full wallet, because there's an awful lot coming out in the next six months.

Special Assignments are a type of World Quest being offered in The War Within, and to unlock them, they'll typically require you to complete three basic World Quests in that zone.

Arachnophobia Mode ON -- it's time to don our most stylish spider-stomping boots for the launch of The War Within.

The next Hearthstone miniset, The Traveling Travel Agency, launches September 10, including the usual new cards and being purchasable with either in-game gold or real money — but far more importantly, it has some of the most creative (and pun-tastic) cards out there.

I’ve finally beaten the Echo of Lilith by myself! No super-powered characters taking pity on me and carrying me for seasonal completion — this victory was all mine!

I think that the Echo of Lilith is the hardest single fight in any Diablo game that isn’t just running a Greater Rift or Pit level 1000. Those are just artificial difficulties where you simply cannot output the damage necessary to kill things before you get flattened. Echo of Lilith on the other hand is all about dodging all of her nonsense, while also doing a bunch of damage to her quickly.

It does highlight the issues of the Diablo 4 difficulty where basically all of my deaths felt like she just one-shot me, and that’s not a fun way to lose. I want a knockdown drag-out fight where we’re both running on fumes at the end and I only narrowly squeak out a victory. I guess this will have to do until then though. With her defeat, I’m pretty much finished with Diablo 4‘s current season. Which is a nice feeling! I can pop on and kill some demons if the mood strikes, and not worry about it otherwise.

While I clean all of the demon blood off of my armor, it’s time for — The Queue!

Blizzard has been great about laying out the timing of their upcoming releases lately, so it's not surprising that, ahead of World of Warcraft's launch of The War Within expansion, we already have a start date for season 1: September 10, though, as this is a global release, for certain time zones, this will be September 11.
