WoW patch 11.1.5 brings with it the Nightfall event, among other things, but unlike the others, this one includes a new 10-level Renown track for players to progress -- just in case you were getting tired of making friends with the goblins of Undermine and all the other factions of The War Within. Like all the others, the Flame's Radiance Renown includes mostly new cosmetic rewards for you to earn, some of them very cool (and even useful), as well as the usual plethora of Valorstones, Weathered Undermine Crests, and even a buff that makes playing outdoor content in Khaz Algar easier.

It’s Wednesday afternoon and the Queue is not late, I meant to post it right now. This exact moment! The moment of arriving!

That’s a roundabout way of saying we’re planning to push the Queue back an hour permanently, scheduling it at 11am pacific/12pm mountain/1pm central (site time)/2pm eastern. (I have to write it out like that to try to stick the change in my own head.) It’s about standardizing post scheduling every day and keeping posts spread out throughout the day rather than clumped together (which tended to happen on podcast days when the podcast went live a half hour before the Queue). We’ll see how it goes.

Now, this is the Queue. Let’s talk.

This week's episode was inspired by a question from a listener, about where the story is going from here as we make our way toward the next expansion of World of Warcraft, Midnight.

When WoW patch 11.1 went up on the PTR with the Gallagio Rewards Club Renown track, one of the items that quickly caught everyone's attention was the Puzzling Cartel Chip.

The original Guild Wars launched in April 2005, so the game turns 20 years old this month, joining a venerable club of classic MMOs including EverQuest (1999 and yes, it's still going), EverQuest 2 (2004), and World of Warcraft (2004).

It’s Nozdormu Day, so any wibbly-wobbly should be expected. It’s almost the end of the school year, but that’s impossible. And yet. By the way, Noblegarden is this week? I don’t…?

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we may answer… eventually. Anyone for a mixed drink with a little umbrella?

Mists of Pandaria Classic is launching this summer on July 21 and to prepare for the change, Blizzard has begun beta testing Mists Classic content!

Today's WoW maintenance is a short one, with just one hour of downtime for modern and classic WoW servers.

Now, we know cats can be incredibly cute, and dogs can be incredibly cute, but generally when you put them together, things are decidedly not cute, right?

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been between matches, I can’t start a game of Heroes of the Storm without a polite greeting and a “good luck, have fun.” I could have suffered a concussion and lost an arm, but I’d still do it!

It’s that important!

Ending with a GG and/or a “better luck next game” is also important, but that one can be tougher. Especially if you’ve just gotten run roughshod over and people have been being salty. I still try though, just maybe not super hard sometimes…

Hi friendos! Good luck and have fun, it’s time for — The Queue!
