The Queue: Syrio lives

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, senior editor at WoW Insider, will be your host today.

I hope everyone in the States had a good long weekend. I enjoyed myself -- some Minnesota State Fair food and fun, along with a lot of other festivities.

Time for more WoW now, though ... need to farm more honor.

Paulmewis asked:

What other races where considered for the alliance in BC?

None; Blizzard always intended for the Draenei and Blood Elves to become the new races in BC. There are a lot of rumors that Pandarens almost made it in, but I've never heard that from someone at Blizzard (on or off the record).

Darren asked:

Why doesn't Blizzard reduce the level requirements for the Outland cooking and fishing dailies? Seems stupid that they don't start until you are two levels into Northrend. Also, why dont we get skill points for the Outland and Northrend cooking and fishing dailies like we do for the new Azeroth dailies?

In general, Blizzard needs to do a revamp of Outland content. It knows the area is severely lacking, and it's stated publically that it wants to go through and update everything. I suspect that we'll see those quests change when we get the new Outland. When is that coming? My guess would be an expansion.

Gait asked:

I want to read all the WoW books in order. Which one should I start with?

Anne Stickney put together a list just for this purpose! Check out our chronological list of WoW novels for more information.

Andre asked:

Is there a Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects audio book? I'd love to listen to it while playing, seeing as I can't find the time to sit down and read it.

Nothing is showing up on Audible or Amazon, so I'd have to say no.

Parmlee asked:

If River Tam is a Combat Rogue and Arya Stark is an Assasination Rogue can someone give us an example of Subtlety?

Syrio Forel.
