Why would anyone want to roleplay?

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

I’m pretty sure it’s not really what I’d call a major spoiler to point out that everyone’s favorite shoe-shining gnome, Sheddle Glossgleam, hasn’t gone anywhere in Legion. He’s in Dalaran over at the Threads of Fate, same as always, and if you take a seat he’ll shine your shoes until they sparkle. The random NPCs were one of my favorite parts about the city, so I’m happy to see that at least some of them are still around. Jones the cat is still MIA, but who knows, maybe he’ll come back too. I sort of hope we’ll also see some new iteration of the Higher Learning achievement while we’re at it. Speaking of learning, let’s get to your questions, shall we?

Submitter Starbück of the Queue on Nesingwary (US-A) writes, "I noticed you didn't have any David Bowie-themed screenshots on BlizzCaps yet, so I tried to think of one to take.

Though I recently used my Legion pre-order to power boost a Restoration Shaman to 100, I also power-leveled a Marksmanship Hunter via heirloom gear and the LFG dungeon tool.

Welcome to episode 52 of Blizzard Watch's podcast!

If you're a stranger to Diablo 3, now is a good time to familiarize yourself.

In an Azeroth where dragons have seemingly expended the last of their powers, there's one flight that doesn't appear to have been affected by the events of Cataclysm at all.

If you're paying attention to the Legion alpha, you probably already know that there have been some changes to how Active Mitigation tanking works.

I'm doing my best to skip the inevitable you are not prepared jokes, but can you believe that World of Warcraft's first expansion, The Burning Crusade, was released nine years ago today?

So last month, just after Christmas, Lemmy Kilmister died of cancer. He’d literally just turned 70 years old, his birthday was December 24. Then this month, both David Bowie and Alan Rickman die of cancer, Bowie just after his 69th birthday, and Rickman less than a month before his 70th.

All three of these men had a pretty substantial affect on my life, so I’m sort of in a daze right now.

Anyway, this is The Queue.
