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.

One of my favorite songs this year, from the new Silversun Pickups album. I adore it. You might, too!

JaredLorenz asked:

How will cross-realm zones in MoP affect herbing and mining nodes? Will these nodes still spawn realm specific? Also, will the zones always be cross-realm, or only when sparsely populated?

Yes, you'll share the same nodes. The devs said they'd keep an eye on that to make sure it wasn't affecting gameplay in any drastic way. And yes, realm-sharing is based on population and also won't happen in current-expansion content.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.

I really appreciate what you did for me yesterday, Queue. After months of farming, Heroic Lightening Rod finally dropped for me. Of course, it put me deep in the EPGP hole, but hey, I'm happy. This baby is going to last me well into leveling in Mists.

And hey! Apparently you all disagreed with me about Diablo 3 having the same amount of gore as WoW. That's okay though, I'm still happy.

Captainfreddy asked:

If you could ask Blizzard any non-lore related WoW question and they'd have to give you a straight answer, what would it be?

Queue, I need your help. I need the heroic Lightning Rod to drop for my warlock tonight. See, the problem is that it dropped once and went to a player who has subsequently not raided. Not complaining about that, he's a nice guy. But ... it's like it's not going to drop for me, ever. I'm sitting at the top of the EPGP charts by far, and when this baby drops, it's going to be mine.

So can you all send some good loot love my way and make it drop tonight when we kill Ms. Wolf Hat?

If you do, I promise to write you another Queue tomorrow. And if it doesn't drop ... you're getting that LOLcat Queue I promised a while back.

PhilDGiles asked:

Have you ever answered a Q4Q with "absolutely" or "absolutely not" and it turns out to be the opposite? XD

The next minigame that Blizzard should put into WoW needs to revolve around catching ghosts. Why? Because Ghostbusters.

Lars asked:

Will there be a World First or Server First achievement for the first Panda or Monk to level 90?
And if so, do we know what will disqualify such an attempt? I'm thinking of heirlooms and Deck of Rogues/Mages/etc...

Go to iTunes and buy Woodkid's new track, Run Boy Run. There is not a man alive who manages to get my adrenaline pumping via music better than he does. You will not regret your purchase. If you don't have Iron, get that one, too.

naterybird317 asked:

When do you think Mists of Pandaria will be released? What was being tested in the Cata beta at the time of the official announcement? I ask because I wonder if at the time of the announcement were beta testers testing 85 content or were they still level capped between 80-85? I feel like we're getting really close to the official announcement.

Damn, dude, twins? My wizard knows how to party.

HobMeadows asked:

What would be the fastest, most efficient way for a solo guildmaster to level their guild from 1 to 2? Does anyone have experience with this and if so, what was your process?

I'm almost at 2 full bars (out of 5), and inviting a bunch of people to my guild is not a fair option because I'll be moving off of my server literally within moments of hitting level 2. I've heard battlegrounds are a fast, efficient method, but can anyone make some suggestions?

Provided you're level-capped, quests and dailies are your best bet to make it there as fast as possible. High-level BGs give good rep, but questing is more efficient. Cap out your daily quest turn-ins every day, and you should be at level 2 before you know it.

That's the sound that a resplendent chest makes when you open it in Diablo III. Seriously. Think about it.

BKellyCS asked:

I was discussing with some guildies this evening the "key points" in WoWs history (like personally feeling that Ulduar was the closest to raiding perfection with a variety of bosses, events, lore, layout, the hard mode switches etc) - what personally do you think the biggest opportunity Blizzard can take forward from Cataclysm is? What 'thing' do you think worked really well and reckon we'll see more of? What do you reckon they've learnt the most from and will endeavour to improve/never-EVER-let-that-happen-again?

You know, it was a tough call, but I think I'm gonna take this weapon and use it. Yep.

Kent1 asked:

This has probably been asked before so apologies. What exactly is the reasoning for the switch to class/spec specific quest rewards?

Outside of (conveniently) being able to pick items for an off-spec, I'm actually a little miffed about possibly having to take a mediocre upgrade instead of that nice weapon that vendors for an extra 20g. Just seems like they're fixing something that isn't really broken.

Really, it's about getting you more gear. Every quest that gives an item is guaranteed to give you an item that works for your spec. If you don't need it, you can always sell it, just like you would anyway.

There are other motivations too, obviously, like preventing the quest-reward misclick altogether.

Like Alex yesterday, it's almost like I was up until 3:30 a.m. defeating internet demons.

If you're on the fence about downloading Diablo III via your Annual Pass subscription (or even about getting the game in general), I'd say that the cinematics alone make it entirely worth it. They are more than amazing and have set an entirely new bar for video games.

Also, you will occasionally randomly encounter mobs named after some WoW CMs, including Zarhym and Bashiok. Bashiok killed me last night. Zarhym, however, went down easily.

Sanderson asked:

With the release of SWTOR, TERA, and Diablo III, do you think that this pre-expansion lull is the worst yet?

AbabakarOctopuce asked:

I'm going to be raiding tonight, but during the rest of the day (after my work is done, of course), I'll finally be enjoying Diablo 3.

Pretty much AFK, evil.

And if you're looking for something not evil, go check out WoW Insider Editor-in-Chief Alex Ziebart's AMAA (Ask Me Almost Anything) on /r/wow today.

Kikiswingset asked:

My raid leader demands that if you want to raid, you must have played a healer up to lvl 60 and show him that you understand how tirage priority works, but also to foster an appreciation forthe difficulty of healing "fire squatters". If you had to pick, which role/class/spec should everyone play before they start raiding?

Welp, "fire squatter" is now my favorite term, ever.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.

Today's another short one. You have only yourselves to blame! Ask more questions!

@ravingsockmonky asked:

Do you think hunters will ever get more stable slots, or will we start having to release pets? :(

I think I might be a bad person to answer this question. The whole hoarding hunter pets thing is totally bizarre to me. Aren't you guys supposed to be bonding with your closest companion, not piling a thousand wild animals in a barn? That can't be healthy. Those animals are probably forced to stand in their own filth all day long while you're out having adventures. Do you ever stop and clean them? Do you take them all out for exercise? Do you even feed them? I don't think so. You hunters are all terrible. I'm pretty sure you can get arrested for that sort of thing.

That being said ... Blizzard might do it one day, I guess? The devs haven't said anything about it, but I think they grasp that WoW players have a weird pet/mount obsession going on and have been willing to cater to it so far.

Call your mom -- she wants to hear from you.

@ConMoro on Twitter asked:

geographically, are mop zones large? or just average size but packed with interesting things to see?

The zones in Mists of Pandaria are large and spacious. In fact, I was very much impressed with how many open spaces there are and just ... How do I put this? Running room? I liked the sprawl of Hillsbrad and the expanse of Arathi. Big zones are good, and Mists of Pandaria has got some pretty big, sprawly zones. When Blizzard first discussed the zone layout, I immediately hoped for more Dragonblights, since I'm the only person who apparently loves large zones with disparate stories found all over them. Or not!

I found this video on Friday night, and the first thing that went through my mind was not, "Oh my God, I need to go watch me some Pee Wee Playhouse with Morpheus." It was "How can this not be used as the intro to The Queue today?"

Bloodhoof asked:

Since my main spec is resto(druid), but I hate the low dps output for quests, is it possible to do the quests as a dps, but switch to resto before I get the reward? Is it better to just put up with the low dps? Should I buy the gear from the vendors?

Today's Queue will be a short one. Yesterday's Queue had a whole lot of TOR discussion and not a whole lot of question asking. Not my fault!

Jason asked:

So now that the panda dances are now live, where are the dances from? I see part of the female panda dance is from some anime clip. What about the guys? Thanks!

Male pandaren dance the shuffle from LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem. Female pandaren mix the infamous Caramelldansen and the dance from Haruhi Suzumiya's outro theme, Hare Hare Yukai.

Edit: I may be wrong about Hare Hare Yukai. Forgive me, I only have so much knowledge of weird anime dances.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.

I think it's important to note the decline in Star Wars: The Old Republic's subscription numbers, which yesterday we found out dropped to 1.3 million, off its high of 1.7 million. Now, of course, we don't know this quarter's WoW numbers yet (and we may not, if Blizzard decides not to release them), but it's notable that this "WoW killer" isn't really turning out.

Now, I say this not as a victory dance of "we won" or some other stupid epeen contest, but as a nod to the fact that two well-produced games can survive in the same marketplace -- and that a game doesn't have to have 10 million or more players to be a success. WoW has its charm, and so does SW:TOR. Is one better than the other? In my opinion, yes -- but at the end of the day they're each different.

It should also be clear that EA feels the same way. It's going to keep supporting SW:TOR. And why not? 1.3 million people doing anything together is a cause to support.

Sixteentonsofpixels asked:

I'm aware that updated Outland and Northrend are future goals as far as Blizzard has stated but has a time table for this been released? Whenever they finally do update those zones would it be best to just revamp them across the board, making those zones match the current patch? Or would it be better if the zones leveled and changed with the player? Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.

Many of the people who see this NPC in the Mists of Pandaria beta immediately yell "...can cook!" It warms my heart.

Revynn asked:

The new Mantid dungeon looks a suspicious amount like AQ40. Do we know if the Mantid are "cousins" to the Qiraji and Nerubians (Insectoid servants of an old god) or are they their own deal?

Just caught this one watching back episodes of Supernatural today. Enjoy.

christriste asked:

Has blizzard given a reason for why we can't queue for BG and Dungeons at the same? I understand not wanting someone in a dungeon queued for PVP or vise versa and leaving what they were originally doing but couldn't they kick you from all your queues once you've entered a dungeon or BG?

Basically, it would make queue time estimates really unreliable (and probably longer, too, depending on ebb and flow). Right now, since players can only queue for one pool at a time, it's easy to estimate the amount of time it'll take to join a dungeon or BG. Being able to join two queue pools would mess with that.
