We're doing something a little new this week for Lore Watch, with a remaster of an older episode.

We've come again to the best time in World of Warcraft raiding -- the Race to World First!

This week is the Steam Visual Novel Fest, the gaming provider's annual celebration of the popular combination game and book genre.

It's the most wonderful time of the new WoW patch, for people who like to raid, anyway: The Liberation of Undermine opens today (mostly -- LFR and Story Mode will lag behind a bit).

Tuesday means maintenance day, and this week The War Within players again have extended maintenance to look forward to, while Classic players have a quick hour of downtime.

Sometimes when a new content patch rolls over, I spare a thought for all the weirdos we’ve left behind in various states of peril over the years, forcing them into the thankless task of maintaining all this infrastructure in the wilderness. You think the Argent Tournament ever fixed the hole in the floor of the stadium? Who’s shoveling out my Horde Garrison every time it snows? What exactly is the Alliance doing with all those pumpkins? Sure thing, champion, whatever harebrained scheme you’re up to this time, see you in six months when you need a transmog piece from Kul Tiras or whatever.

Anyway, this is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and vroom vroom, let’s go beat up Gallywix!

The War Within brought WoW players back to Undermine in patch 11.1, appropriately called Undermine(d).

The ladder reset for Diablo 2: Resurrected season 11 officially starts at midnight UTC on June 21.

It’s the day before the reset on the first week of WoW patch 11.1.

When Season of Discovery was announced during BlizzCon 2023, it was introduced as the next season of content for World of Warcraft Classic following Season of Mastery but with a twist on player abilities, a staggered level-capped phase rollout, and new in-game activities.
