The Queue: Kittris

What, Mat thinks he can just post cat pictures in The Queue and not expect retribution? Everyone knows that the only cuter than cats is small cats, or "kittens," in the vernacular. And I have four small cats right now. You can see them above, possibly forming Voltron, or possibly playing Tetris with their bodies.
Sicadastra asked:
Simple question: Do the passenger flying mounts require that the passenger have the appropriate flying skill as well? I assume not, just curious.
Nope, just like someone without normal riding skill can hop on a Nether-Rocket or a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth.
Juanin asked:
Will personal achievements obtained before the release of Cataclysm count towards guild experience?
No, and neither will the personal achievements you get after the release of Cataclysm.
Haimdall asked:
Any word on the rumors that we'll be able to use the old worgen faces when we create them? If not, have any more passive faces for the new models been implemented?
Additionally, I remember hearing about level 50 class quests with unique rewards. Have those been discovered, or was the idea scrapped?
If by "the old worgen faces" you mean the anime lion faces, then no, you won't be able to use them. Like it or not, worgen have received a ferocity pass, and it looks like it's here to stay. There are a few faces available that are slightly less rageful than the yellow-eyed face that's seen on nearly every worgen screenshot, though the face geometry remains the same.
The level 20 and level 50 quests for each class are indeed implemented. They send you into a dungeon (it looks like SFK and BRD, respectively) to complete a specific task, and you get a blue reward for it -- for your choice of spec. Pretty neat.
Bookhouse88 asked:
Any news yet on all the new quests that are being added to Deadwind Pass in Cataclysm?
I'm not aware of any changes to Deadwind Pass so far. At this point I don't anticipate any, given the small nature of the zone and the lack of real story there unrelated to Karazhan.

It really is time for this meme to die.

Agreed, Feniks. I'm not sure why WoW Insider readers are so much more distractable than regular folk, but I suspect insidious forces at work. Something must be done.

Kittens? They're so addorable, that you consider the Article as a distraction!
*distracted by article*
Wiat... theres something wrong with me.

It's four kittens though. You try and not be-
Awww.
Nathanyel Sep 24th 2010 6:59PM
Though people won't stop getting distracted by kittens/cute things anyway. So, see it less as a meme, but rather as stating the obvious. Not every phrase created nowadays is a meme either, slash a meme can transcendend itself to become an actual phrase, a saying. Just think of all the sayings you know, how do you think they came to being?
Good time to quote xkcd again, too: http://xkcd.com/794/

Where can I start a petition for Blizz to create the function that would allow players to sort their characters on login according to their own preference?
There are loads of folks who've asked for this over the years, the number of posts on all forums alone, I'm sure, reach into the hundreds.
Surely with all the fancy new stuff for cata they could trow us OCD folk a bone?
Ai Wahnt Mai Pala Ohn Tohp!!

So much this! =_= It aggravates me to no end that my main character is towards the middle of the realm list. Surely it couldn't be that hard to implement?
Trinea Sep 24th 2010 5:18PM
Could always try the official website's Suggestion Forums. I must admit, I'd really, REALLY like the same thing. It's the curse of being an altoholic; one day, so-and-so's your main, the next it's something entirely different.

Since the character order is cached in a remote database and not locally I doubt it will ever happen. Giving that many people simultaneous read/write access would probably bring their servers to their knees.
Nikkiezorz Sep 24th 2010 5:43PM
Agree times 10000000000000000!!!!
I hate this oldest on top stuff. It makes me break out in hives. Blizz needs more OCD staff. yus!!!!!!
Artificial Sep 24th 2010 5:27PM
@cowfodder: Nothing prevents a local order from being stored on the local HD. How things are ordered on the remote database is utterly irrelevant, nor would implementing the ability to display them in any order you desire put any load at all whatsoever on the database.
