The Queue: Yaks are cool, I guess

I still want the frog.
hystrico asked:
any word on recipes in MoP? Like, should I be stocking up on Chef's Awards?
I had an issue with the original removal of the limit on Chef's Awards because of just this question. Obviously we have no idea how the new recipes and stuff will work for new dailies and all that, but one of the reasons I liked the limit on how many awards you could store up was because it kept that currency artificially deflated. When Blizzard removed that limit, everyone stocked up on Chef's Awards, so how do you fairly price new recipes with that currency? Who do you design for -- the guy who saved up 2,000 Chef's Awards or the guy who didn't? Which is fair?
Personally, I'd like to see Blizzard reinstate the limit, making one currency for each profession's dailies and recipe purchases and simplifying the whole thing once and for all. Hoarding tokens isn't fun, just like hoarding points isn't fun. Well, it's kind of fun.
Someone interrupted my writing of the last paragraph on AIM with:
So, what's this I keep hearing about March and press and Mists of Pandaria?
Blizzard has announced a Mists of Pandaria press tour kicking off in March with a big press something-or-other and promises of lots of new information about the next expansion. This fact has led us all to speculate on what that timing could mean for a release date or projected release window. Press is a big deal in the video game industry, because hype is absolutely everything. The more you penetrate the mainstream media with stories about tons of gamers lining up or huge events, the better.
So the press tour begins in March, which means we're going to get the "face" of Mists of Pandaria then. What do I mean? I mean we will see the pitch. Here's what is new and exciting, Blizzard will tell us, and we will respond. We've already been shown the premise, but now we need to see the pitch. Show us those character models, Blizzard. You know you want to.
@eresin84 on Twitter asked:
Did things move pretty quick between Aggra and Thrall? She's preggers at the end of DW fight.
Thrall and Aggra have been together for an ... acceptable period of time, I would think. We don't know what's cool in orcish culture with kids and all that, so we just speculate. Hey, Chris Metzen, where's my rulebook and reference guide on orc societal mating customs and premarital lifemate shamanism? I need it to answer this question.
@credgett on Twitter asked:
who is Tyrygosa that is mentioned during the DS raid? I havent come across her in game before
Tyrygosa is a blue dragon that featured prominently in The Sunwell Trilogy. She is at the Wyrmrest Temple helping to defend against Deathwing. Check out her Wowpedia page.
People on Twitter asked me:
Wait, is there really going to be a WoW Insider Show Podcast panel at PAX East this year?
Yes. We will have more details for you soon.

There was a fan drawing of a curvy female pandaren. It was quite sexy actually. Big is beautiful. :)

Finally got my Twilight Drake today!
I was wondering if they'd ever possibly bring back the Naxx10 and Naxx25 achieve mounts, or if we should expect them to remove the Ulduar10, Ulduar25, ICC10, and ICC25 achieve mounts in Mists.

I believe the Devs stated that they felt the removal of the Naxx drakes and the way that was handled was considered to be a mistake, and they did not want to do something similar in the future. Given that we still have all the other ICC drakes available, I do not expect we'll see them pulled any time soon. Some of the Achieves are still tricky to get, even with geared 85s. And if we see the fabled "item squish", the difficulty could ramp up again.

what do you think the ring of blood/ ampitheatre of anguish/ crucible of carnage will be called in mists assuming there will be one?
Maybe the Stadium of Sacrafice or something?

Q for The WI:
Where's my Guardian/Resto Shifting Perspectives? It's Wednesday already and I'm dying for Allison's (or Letitia's) take on the new MoP info. :3

do you still need a key for Malygos? Can you use the 10man key on 25man?
Amak Feb 22nd 2012 10:44PM
bO KEY NEEDED NOW.
Amak Feb 22nd 2012 10:45PM
Oh god, keyboard fail. That should read, "No key is needed now."

Lastnight I was poking around in the LFR UI and click on the 3rd tab (Raids?) Which listed all Cata raids and gave the option to queue and to leave a comment as well. Is this feature new and if so related to cross realm raiding? I don't recall seeing it before.
