The Queue: Elevator ride
by Michael Sacco 
on Feb 5th 2010 (4 days ago)
Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com's daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.
Well, hey there, team! Looks like we're gonna be riding this elevator for a while. I guess now would be a great time to answer some reader questions.
Tomatketchup asked...
"In the Dungeon Finder, do you think the rewards for 70-80 still will be emblems, or will they become bags like from 1-69?"
I'm willing to bet that you'll be receiving Satchels from 70-80 instances in the Dungeon Finder once Cataclysm hits. I don't see them giving you an obsolete reward.

Paragon, on the other hand, appears to have completed the encounter in an exploit-free manner and, according to MMO-Champion's Boubouille, did it on their first try. Congratulations go out to Paragon on their clean kill. Now let's see some of those heroic achievements!

Ask a Faction Leader: Chromie
by Michael Sacco on Feb 2nd 2010 (7 days ago)
We recently spoke to Vol'Jin, leader of the Darkspear trolls, and he shed light on several key issues, including voodoo proximity, detachable extremities, and residential communities, and free zeppelin rides for three. In this installment of Ask a Faction Leader, we'll be sitting with Anachronos, interim leader of the Bronze Dragonflight.
Our first reader ques--
Anachronos responds:
A TERRIBLE AND COSTLY MISTAKE YOU HAVE MADE. IT IS NOT MY TIME TO GIVE AN INTERVIEW, MORTALS!
He just ... despawned. Okay. Uh, well, in that case, let's see ... Soridormi is busy dealing with the Infinites in the Caverns of Time, so ... I guess the task falls to Chronormu, better known to adventurers as Chromie -- ambassador for the Bronze Dragonflight.
Our first reader question ...

The Queue: Missing in action
by Michael Sacco on Jan 29th 2010 (10 days ago)
Alex Ziebart is missing. Okay, probably not missing. Probably knocked out by painkillers. Thus, I'm forced to do The Queue today.
Lolikitty asked:
"Will worgen start at friendly rep with the wolvar?"
Is your dog friends with the local badgers?
The Queue: Puppies
by Michael Sacco on Jan 28th 2010 (11 days ago)
Puppies. Puppies.
Aliceness asked ...
"Where might Blizzard go in terms of (maybe) implementing a new class for the next expansion? What kind of class haven't we seen?"
WoW.com welcomes our new lore columnist!
by Michael Sacco on Jan 28th 2010 (12 days ago)
And find the best one we did. Though it was a tough choice, we're proud to announce that we've hired Anne Stickney as our new lore columnist.
You might know Anne as Shade, writer of the popular lore blog Shades of Grey. With her encyclopedic knowledge of the Warcraft universe, her light-hearted style, and her intent of making lore accessible to anyone who cares to read about it, she was the perfect choice.
Anne will be providing all kinds of lore-based content to WoW.com, whether it's new Know Your Lore columns alongside Matthew Rossi, keeping our older lore columns up to date, or brand-new speculation based on upcoming content. You'll start seeing these in a few weeks, once she joins our raid and helps us take down the ultimate foe -- paperwork.
Also, please remember that we are looking for a resto shaman columnist -- you can find out more information on our applications page.

WoW Insider Show Episode 126: Finally, he's gone
by Michael Sacco on Jan 27th 2010 (12 days ago)
If you're wondering why this download is available so late in the week, well, we're wondering that too. It's probably for the same reason that I keep getting lost to the aether during the podcast call. We're streamlining the process of getting the podcast everywhere it needs to go, though, so starting this week it should be available every Monday on the dot.
As always, you can email theshow@wow.com to have your email answered on the air, and if you have any guests you'd like to see on the show (or you'd like to be a guest yourself!) you can get a hold of us the same way.
Surprise! Editor's note: Don't worry, we'll have more of the GaGa for you next week!
