Boy, writing intros to The Queue is going to get mighty difficult once I run out of '90s cartoon theme songs. Enjoy them while they last.
shakey asked:
I've recently started leveling a new forsaken hunter. doing it mostly through questing just to see the new content. my question is where is lilian voss? just dinged 50 and I'm almost done with EPL last I saw her was in tirisfal at the scarlet palisade. I've done most of tirisfal, all of silverpine and hillsbrad. I then did half of arathi before jumping back to WPL, done all of that zone and most of EPLs. I'm at the last two towers and have yet to see her. Anyone know where to pick her story up again?
That's it. That's all of it. What you saw in Tirisfal is all of the Voss content in the game. You won't see more of her until Mists of Pandaria, in the updated Scholomance dungeon.

Forgive me, as it's not WOW related. However, it is Blizz related. I'm currently playing Diablo 3 Beta, while waiting patiently for my WOW beta annual pass invite. I logged onto Diablo last night to find a patch that included "wiping all characters". Sure enough, all the toons I had leveled were gone. No gold, no nothing. Is it common for this to happen? I realize it's beta, and I accept everything with large grains of salt, but wiping toons seemed odd.
It's fairly standard for betas, especially Diablo III's beta. It was happening fairly frequently when I first got in -- every few weeks or so. Don't get too attached to beta characters/items. It will end in heartbreak.
Kathy asked:
Got a quick question, when Children's week comes out at the end of the month, will the Northrend portion be adding a new pet for those who already have the Wolvar and Oracle pets?
We haven't heard of any updates to that holiday this year, so ... probably not.
Slim asked:
if a group of bears is a sloth, then what the heck is a group of sloths?
A bed.
bskrug asked:
Why are Onyxia and Sintharia purple while the rest of the members of the black dragonflight appear to be, well, black? I realize that the Cataclsym version of Onyxia has been raised from the dead. I am referring to the pre-Cataclysm version.
Well, none of the black dragons are black. Onyxia and Sintharia use a lot of purple. Nefarian and Sartharion are brown with yellow detailing. The only black dragon that is actually anywhere near black is Deathwing -- and he only gets away with it because so much of him is bright red. If we wanted to form a rule of thumb from the very few unique black dragons in the game, I would say the female dragons get purples and the male dragons get browns.
Black is a fairly hard color to use -- you can't just color a dragon black and drop it into the game. When the color black is used in film, it's usually varying shades of grey, not really black. Black prevents you from adding natural detailing, prevents your audience from seeing that detailing, and just plain looks bad in motion in media. I think the "black" dragons look better in their browns and purples than they would in various shades of gray.
