The Queue: Clearance
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.
I'm going to use the intro of The Queue to clear something up from Saturday's WRUP. I said that "Oblivion is Fallout in Fantasyland." I do know that Oblivion was released first, despite what some of you thought! I was saying that I played Fallout first but enjoyed Oblivion much more, despite their being basically the same game in two different settings. You dig?
Stormblade asked:
Does WoW Insider take applications? Can you email in example articles or ideas?
When we're looking to fill a specific position, we'll do a call-out on our front page and welcome interested individuals to apply. In general, we don't take applications outside of those periods, but it's not unheard of for us to hire people who mail us specific proposals or ideas. It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened.
As someone pointed out in the comments, the page you want to get the details of our hiring process is our Contributing to WoW Insider page. If you plan on applying for any of our future openings, pay attention to "How to apply" section. Not including the requested information can (and most likely will) get your application completely thrown out.
Mojo asked:
What was that chat company that had a giveaway this year? I want to use it for my raiding guild.
You are most likely thinking of MMO-Mumble. Good choice! Mumble is good stuff, and MMO-Mumble is good people.
Bernie Roscoe asked:
Why did they make Ahn'Qiraj its own zone? Is anything going on there?
All of the outdoor dungeons/raids in the world are now reflected as such in the overworld. Lost City of the Tol'vir works this way as well, even though you still have to go through the instance portal to actually fight the bosses. That's the only reason Ahn'Qiraj is its own zone. There's nothing you can actually do in there if you fly over the Scarab Wall. Consistency and nothing more.
