The Queue: Merry Christmas
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.
Or, you know, whatever.Leo asked:
I'm curious about the epic-quality weapons and armor that can be gained via rare discoveries in archaeology. They say they are bound to account, but do they stay that way (like heirlooms), or do they become soulbound once they're equipped?
Like any other account-bound item, they will never become soulbound. They don't scale with your level either, though.
Babaloo asked:
Question: What is the lore reason (If there is any) as to why Zul'Gurub is now deserted?
According to quests in STV, every high priest in Zul'Gurub, as well as Hakkar himself, died in vanilla WoW. Jin'do survived, likely because killing him wasn't "necessary" to defeat Hakkar.
Everyone will probably ask:
Why are there so few questions today?
Because it's Christmas!* Hope yours is a good one.
* Also, because most of yesterday's comments were tangential nonsense, not questions! Ho ho ho!

I'm hoping for more of those half-sock half-slipper things, preferably with embarrassing designs on them so that they'll properly coordinate with my ridiculous purple-and-stars fleecy robe. Mmmmmmmmmn toasty feet!

I was down to my last pair, too! The bottoms were wearing out!
On a question-like topic, when are we expecting the next patch?

I got some argyle socks and I've been wanting them since I had them in my last play. They're fantastic!

I got fuzzy socks - they are amazing.
Biskit333 Dec 25th 2010 2:07PM
My dad made the mistake of mentioning that he always get socks, needless to say we got him socks immediately after.
Cassie Dec 25th 2010 3:31PM
I got 4 pairs of the softest, fuzziest socks on the planet. In bright colors, too!!
You know you're jealous.
(Dont'cha wish your socks were fuzzy like mine...........)

I asked for socks, and didn't get any. I actually needed new socks. :(
Xano Dec 25th 2010 8:49PM
@KenMan: that truly is depressing, I saw BritishBulldog's post and was literally thinking the same thing earlier today! I love predictable presents right when you need em!
Quill2006 Dec 25th 2010 10:40PM
I got so many socks! It was wonderful, because now I will have socks without holes!
Xantenise Dec 25th 2010 11:18PM
I got a pocket watch and a DS XL.
I was RIDICULOUSLY excited over the pocket watch.

*raises hand*
After opening said socks, I proceeded to display the walnut-sized hole in the bottom of the socks I'd been wearing, and gave my sister a big hug. There may have been tears.

I get the idea some of these responses are coming from sockpuppets.

I'm stuck at the in-laws for Christmas and can't play until I get home on Dec. 29th. Will the presents under the tree still be available then or am I going to miss out this year?
