One of the tricky parts about creating a character in Warcraft is the subject of age -- just how old should your character feasibly be?

I was really upset to hear about Leonard Nimoy’s passing yesterday — I grew up watching Star Trek. A lot of you asked in the comments from yesterday if we thought he’d get an in game tribute. Well, technically he already has one, and it’s been there since vanilla, down in Gnomeregan. Of course, he should be wearing a blue shirt and not a red one — I mean come on, everyone knows Spock’s always been a science officer and blue has been for science and medical since the beginning and yes I am a gigantic nerd thank you.

Let’s get to some Warcraft questions.

The first annual Raid Against Rare Diseases will feature a live raid with WoW-playing celebs including Swifty, Michele Morrow, Kristian Nairn, Jesse Cox, Crendor, and Bobak Ferdowsi (whom you may be familiar with as "the NASA guy with awesome hair"). Tune in at 10AM Pacific!

Sure, the challenge of heroics can be fun — and challenge modes, in particular, are a great way to push your abilities. But running heroic dungeons for gear? It's very hard to recommend.

A new set of hotfixes have gone out this evening, and a new set of notes have been released. These hotfixes are in addition to the new patch build that was released earlier today, and include several bug fixes and garrison adjustments as well as a few tweaks to old dungeons and a few items.

The Hearthstone ESL Legendary Series season 1 was held last month and culminated into an exciting finals finish last weekend. The stakes? It starts with a $20000 prize pool.

When the opening came, she took it, becoming the latest Warlord of the Burning Blade and immediately setting to work to try and seal her place as the best and the brightest of the Iron Horde. And it worked, to a degree -- Azuka Bladefury may have had to prove her worth in a collection of more notable names like Blackhand or Kargath Bladefist, but she did so with swift and unerring efficiency.

A small new build was released this afternoon that may result in some realms being listed as incompatible. If this is the case for you, you'll want to shut down World of Warcraft and the Battle.net launcher and restart them to download and apply the patch.

The Cindermane Charger -- a mount that looks suspiciously like a recolored Hearthsteed with extra particle effects -- has been added to the Recruit-a-Friend reward pool for World of Warcraft today.

Guys, I seriously have zero idea what’s going on with this dress thing or why you keep asking me on twitter (@matthewwrossi if you’re curious) about what color it is. I play a warrior. I don’t wear dresses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all a trick of GlaDOS.
