A unified World of Warcraft timeline combining game news, official updates, patch intelligence, events and permission-aware community activity.
The latest World of Warcraft Twitch Drop is the Pouch of Violet Dust, an extremely time-limited toy for WoW: Forever. Using the Pouch of Violet Dust will turn your in-game campfire purple and extend your campsite buffs by one hour (to two hours), a heck of a nice bonus. The exte…
It’s the first full day of a new/old Blizzard game with the launch of World of Warcraft: Forever, which has us all caught between the lure of nostalgia and the lure of new content. And without anything to buy, it’s pretty tempting to log on and check it out… perhaps falling into…
Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free. This week, they’re giving us a cute seafaring city builder for free. There’s also an Idle Champions freebie pack. Flotsam Release Date: September 26,2019 Game Type: City Builder, management sim POV: 3rd person Pa…
The ladder reset for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 16 starts Friday, November 13 at 5pm pacific (8pm eastern). The ladder season usually resets every three to four months, so after season 15 started in August, we anticipated a reset date for season 16 in November. We’ll expect se…
So yeah, I’ve been trying to write the intro to this Queue and every possible thing that could interfere to stop me has in fact happened. So here’s a picture of my dog because y’all were showing pictures of your pets yesterday, I might as well get in on that.
World of Warcraft: Forever is scheduled to launch today, November 4, at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern), but before the servers come online they’ll be down for maintenance that runs from 10am – 3pm pacific (1pm – 6pm eastern). Yes, Blizzard is scheduling maintenance for a game that is…
Some of our favorite games are old and getting older now, while still staying fairly playable. Games ranging from Skyrim to Stardew Valley have enjoyed a long lifespan, in part because of the fans creating and maintaining mods. While some of them are the sort of quality-of-life…
It’s almost here: World of Warcraft: Forever officially goes live this Wednesday November 4 at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern). If you haven’t locked it in yet, it’s time to figure out: what’s your game plan? Interest in the beta, from every angle, was unprecedented. However many mill…
It has come to my attention that many of you have adorable fuzzy (and less fuzzy!) companions and many of you do not post photos without requests. Just know that literally every day, I am psychically requesting to see the baby. If in doubt, more baby. This is The Queue, our dail…
It’s another short and sweet World of Warcraft maintenance this week, with servers scheduled to be offline for just an hour. There’s just one outlier: World of Warcraft: Forever joins the maintenance lineup this week with an hour of downtime… mitigated by the fact that WoW: Fore…
Leveling professions in Midnight can be an expensive, tedious process, so we’re happy to report that the Darkmoon Faire is in town to award you with easy profession points right as the expansion launches. All it takes is venturing out to the Faire and doing a simple, fairly easi…
For some of you, time has changed. Clocks have fallen back, and somehow the powers that be have granted you another hour of life. Of course, they’ll take it back in a few months, but enjoy it until then! For people in some Canadian provinces, we’re just not doing daylight saving…
We’ve had some happenings over the last week, but it’s hard to get too excited for anything except WoW: Forever, which launches on Wednesday. The buzzing sound you can hear in the background is the internet’s collective eagerness to log on to Forever, and it should be interestin…
World of Warcraft‘s Trading Post has cooked up new mounts, pets, and transmog items for the month of November, as well as giving you chance to help yourself to a second round of returning items from last November’s Trading Post in case you missed it. Visit any of the Trading Pos…
The next season of Diablo 4 is coming soon, sending players to tackle not one, but two fearsome Corrupted Reapers. If you want to get your hands on testing Season 16 updates, the Public Test Realm for it is live right this very moment. Running until November 3 at 10am pacific (1…
There has been some discussion lately as to the meaning of the Queue. It is, of course, a Q&A column, but that’s a Q and not a Queue (and explains why we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for questions some days). Liz claims it’s from “login queue” but none of you people are…
Before we say our goodbyes, there was a lot of WoW stuff to discuss, including the Forever naming window, which did not go smoothly. Joe explains why this is actually a good thing (despite the fact that someone was able to sneak my name out from under me). We also have a very sh…

Thursday keeps coming around, and even though time ostensibly runs in one direction it’s also cyclical. Somehow it’s always Thursday, and we’re always here in the Queue. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my very best to answer your gaming questions. Let’s get to…
