The Queue: Orc monks best monks

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mathew McCurley (@gomatgo) will be your host today.
Orcs -- probably the best race for monks that you didn't consider.
Whacha!
durandal asked:
When Young Pandawans hit lvl 10 and leave their Wandering Isle, are they able to come back or do they share the same fate as the goblins of Kezan?
Durandal gets first question -- and before the cut, because he used the word "Pandawans," and at 10 in the morning, it was funny. Sadly, no, the Wandering Isle is off-limits once you leave, much like Kezan. There is always the chance that we will return one day.
loop_not_defined asked:
My issue with Garrosh dealing with demonic forces is that he gets VERY UPSET when he finds out someone did EXACTLY THAT in Ashenvale. Not "throw you off a cliff" upset, but still pretty damned angry.
As far as replacements, I'm hoping for Zaela (Dragonmaw) to take the reins. She's dealt with demonic influence before and could still provide plenty of controversy (since she kind of looks up to Garrosh). Fact of the matter is that Orgrimmar is the Orc home town, and Orcs are going to need a new racial leader. While I'm certain Vol'jin will be the one to end Garrosh's life (see: troll starting town), I doubt him or Baine will be the ones that step in to take over.
But please, don't bring back Thrall. D:
If Garrosh goes bonkers because of demons, it will not be because he took them into himself willingly, but rather because of his arrogance and misunderestimating the ability, scope, and danger demons possess. Garrosh will be tricked, or Garrosh will be forced into a corner and make a stupid decision. This will not be Mannoroth again. This will be hubris, desperate and unfortunate.
If Zaela became Warchief, I would be incredibly happy. She's one of my favorite characters from Cataclysm and represents a lot of what Garrosh stood for while being less volatile. And then, whoa, the Horde is led by a woman. I'll be honest, I thought that I'd see a female Warchief before a Mag'har Warchief ...
wiedmaier asked:
My life just got crazy and I unsubbed. I put almost everything I had on the AH in case I don't make it back until Pandamonium. My internet was out last night, and I didn't get a chance to get my mail before the account expired.
Does the 30 days for mail apply to unsubbed accounts? Will I need to resub within 30 days if I don't want to lose my items/gold?
Yep. I lost a Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops like this. No joke. I should do another "biggest fail" Breakfast Topic soon ...
Murmel asked:
What Does the Pandaren Dance look like?
We do not know yet.
Thal asked:
Is Mr. Rossi playing the beta? (I bet he is.) If so, you know if he's planning on making a post about the new warrior abilities? I'm not playing the beta for several reasons, but I'm dying to know how the new mechanics and our sweet talents are working out!
Rossi and I talked this morning during our daily "Orc Chat in the Morning" Mumble radio show, and he made a pandaren warrior in the beta specifically to write about it. Expect it soon!
Boz asked:
Should I name my new Pandarin Cubbi, Gruffi, Zummi, or Tummi?
Tumtums.
alzeer asked:
why is Sylvanas undead form is soo perfect? no decay no rips shown like most other undeads
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Silversol said:
If Garrosh starts drinking demon blood, just... keep him away from Cenarius.
"Nooooooo, not again!"

Are you locked to certain levels and zones like you were in the Cata beta or are people already trekking to 90?
Cephas Mar 23rd 2012 11:11AM
Pandaria is not accessible yet.
Nathanyel Mar 23rd 2012 11:44AM
Are you sure? At least one instance is, and yesterday I zapped into a stream where someone was killing bears and porcupine (unique to Pandaria) in an area that was unknown to me.
Nina Katarina Mar 23rd 2012 11:49AM
There was a glitch where you could queue for a dungeon then zone out to get to Pandaria yesterday, so Blizz shut down the high level dungeons.
Cephas Mar 23rd 2012 11:58AM
They've said on the Beta forums and elsewhere that Pandaria's not accessible. Anybody questing there right now is doing so at their own risk, potentially breaking their character's quest flow for later stages of Beta (same thing happened in Deepholm during Cataclysm Beta)

"Maybe it's Maybelline."
That has my vote for best Queue answer evah, lol!
followthategg Mar 23rd 2012 11:19AM
I'm so glad i played my part in this.
Made my day, lol.
Prelimar Mar 23rd 2012 11:36AM
thank you for literally making me LOL this morning. best start to a friday in ages.
Jeff (Not that one ^ ) Mar 23rd 2012 11:38AM
+50,000,000,000,000 for Maybe it's Maybelline.
Snuzzle Mar 23rd 2012 11:43AM
In all seriousness, the art of Sylvanas used to show her stitched up, scarred, and decaying. Now, she's perfect. What gives? :P
Nina Katarina Mar 23rd 2012 11:58AM
There's a Valkyr we have not yet met, Marge, Lady of Avon. When her sisters were expending their lives to bring back Sylvanas, Marge jumped in and gave her last breath for a far higher calling; skin care.
SaintStryfe Mar 23rd 2012 12:06PM
seriously, lore wise: she's been rebirthed now several times by Valk'yre, that's probably why. She also has serious necro magic, probably thats' holding her togeather better.
The Dewd Mar 23rd 2012 12:30PM
Maybe she was born with it.
Pyromelter Mar 23rd 2012 2:41PM
McCurley is absolutely on fire right now.
JattTheRogue Mar 23rd 2012 2:42PM
Too bad that was a commenter's reply to the original question that got stolen without attribution for the queue ...
Josh Mar 23rd 2012 4:42PM
I think she uses the ancient oriental secret, Pearl Cream.
Skarn Mar 23rd 2012 7:26PM
Maybe she died with it.
Sinthar Mar 27th 2012 4:51AM
And I was gonna comment 'Death becomes her' but for some reason the comment system ate my post yesterday.
Guapa Mar 27th 2012 5:24AM
She's supposed to be a drop dead diva. That doesn't work with stitches and rotting flesh since most of us are not into necrophilia.
Welshy Mar 23rd 2012 11:08AM
"Pandawans" LOL
Q4tQ:
I got the AP but wasn't really considering doing the beta, but recently I've been thinking I may give it a go. I've never beta tested anything and didn't know how some of the nuts and bolts worked. When you get the invite, do you have a specific time frame in which to participate, or do you have access until the testing period is over?
