Once again, we have maintenance off the port bow. You’d almost think this is a weekly scheduled thing, eh? This week, though, is one of those special extended maintenance weeks, with servers down from 3 AM to 11 AM Pacific. No, despite the extended maintenance, we aren’t expecting patch 3.2 yet. In addition, other servers will be down an extra 2 hours starting at 1 AM Pacific time. We have the full list of said servers after the break, and it’s actually a somewhat long one.

We have no idea why Coridane is so against Warlocks getting made fun of in the game (he must not be a fan of our very own Warlock-hater, Christian Belt), but apparently it’s serious — serious enough for him to kick you from a raid. We do especially like that the need to assault downed Warlocks is actually a system error (“beep bop”): we would just have assumed that was normal protocol. It sure is in our raids. More drama like this, along with downed and recruiting news, in this week’s Guildwatch. If you have tips for us, feel free to send them in — just drop us a note (please keep it short, sweet, and clear) at guildwatch@wow.com, and you might see it here next week. DRAMA Apparently Wordaf ditched Lok Kosh on Shattered Halls, after picking up four (or three?) pieces of loot while raiding with them. The thread starts out slow, but stick with it, things get good later on. Sanctu Maleficus on Altar of Storms has recently celebrated their third anniversary, which they believe makes them the oldest active guild on the server. Congrats on three years,

I was pleasantly surprised to see the maintenance announcement for tomorrow morning available fairly early today. Most of the time, we don’t actually know whether there will be maintenance or not until pretty late in the evening. Or I’m imagining that and this is the time we see it every week, who knows! Daytime players will be happy to hear that most realms are only getting rolling restarts. They’ll be started at 5:00 AM PDT on North American realms and 10:00 AM PDT for Oceanic realms. There are a fair number of servers being hit with a real maintenance period, but it’s only expected to take a few hours: Starting at 5:00 AM PDT and lasting until 8:00 AM PDT. Those realms are: Area 52, Arena Tournament 1, Arena Tournament 2, Auchindoun, Azuremyst, Blade’s Edge, Blood Furnace, Coilfang, Dawnbringer, Exodar, Fizzcrank, Galakrond, Ghostlands, Grizzly Hills, Shattered Halls, Terokkar, The Scryers, The Underbog, Velen, and Zangarmarsh. If you’re not sure what those times are in your time zone, the World Clock is a pretty simple tool to help you figure it

There are a lot of things in the patch 3.2 test realm notes that jumped out at me, but the changes to the Emblem system seem like an especially big deal. The developers made it quite clear that they wanted a tiered token system in Wrath of the Lich King, they didn’t want players just farming Heroics all day and night to get the best possible gear. In patch 3.2, it looks like they’re backing off on that pretty heavily, likely an attempt to reignite interest in running Heroics. If you haven’t seen the patch notes, here are the points I’m referring to: Any dungeons that previously dropped Emblems of Heroism or Valor, such as Naxxramas or Heroic Halls of Stone, will now drop Emblems of Conquest instead. Emblems of Conquest can still be converted to Valor or Heroism. Both the 10 and 25 player instances of the Crusaders’ Coliseum drop a new Emblem of Triumph. The heroic dungeon daily quest will now reward 2 Emblems of Triumph and the normal daily dungeon quest will reward 1 Emblem of Triumph. The existing achievements to collect 1, 25, 50, etc. Emblems of Heroism,

Wrought is an exciting new machinima created by Cranius and Legs. As the story goes, a Human warrior and a Blood Elf woman fall in love. Clearly, this relationship is scorned and forbidden by the Sindorei. The Blood Elves attack the woman, and the human is killed in a vicious ambush. The warrior returns to life as Forsaken. He learns that his lover has been imprisoned, so he flies to her rescue. I’ll leave the rest unspoken, so that I don’t spoil the story for you. This video is absolutely amazing. Cranius and Legs managed to get the WoW models to show an incredible depth of emotion. The entire storyline is shot with such precise framing and flow that you can’t miss what’s happening. The authors have really raised the bar in narrative music videos, and I desperately hope they tackle another project together. The music itself is by a band called “Peratus.” It fit the story well, and I really liked the song. My only disappointment in the music was at the end, when it spiralled into some harsher growling and vocal grinding. While I might just be an old

Our podcast is back on the air again today, and it’s going to be a good one: not only will Turpster and I welcome back Amanda Dean, but Eddie “Brigwyn” Carrington, our newest writer here on the site, will join us to talk about his experiences blogging and playing his Hunter. And of course we’ll chat about the most popular posts of the past week, including those mount and travel changes that are raising such a fuss, the Mountain Dew Battle-bots, and why an Authenticator (probably) can’t steer you wrong. Plus, we’ll answer your emails — we’ve gotten quite a few movie posters from Turpster’s suggestion last week, so stay tuned to hear about those (and you’ll be able to see them here on our post next Monday). Tune in this afternoon over on the our Ustream page at Sunday, Jun 14 at 3:30 AM in your time zone (GMT+8) , or you can jump after the break to see an embedded feed. It should be a good time as always, so stop by and say hi if you’re around.

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today. I’m not much of a Jazz person, so when I set out to counter the John Coltrane that Adam used in The Queue yesterday, I was a little worried. Fortunately, while digging through my music collection to find something useful, I remembered that I had a trump card up my sleeves. Old Betty Boop cartoons, some of the most disturbing things you will ever see in your life. All of the best ones come packed with some incredibly old school Jazz. Now, some candy for your eyes and ears: Cab Calloway’s Minnie the Moocher in a Betty Boop cartoon. Docp asked… “What happened to the Hunter column, Scattered Shots?” I’m glad you asked! It just made its glorious comeback yesterday, with a brand new writer that some of you may recognize. Go give the latest Scattered Shots a read. Binge asked… “I’m going to let my account lapse for the summer (maybe longer). Will my armory profile

Satisfaction guaranteed or I’ll give you a full refund (handling charges may apply). Nerubian Chitins are gathered by Skinners and used by Leatherworkers, and although they show up on a number of mobs, there are only a handful of areas that are actually worth farming. They sell for around 5g a piece, and Leatherworkers consume them in bunches from one up to 40! In fact, for several levels, the chitins provide some of the best and cheapest leveling options. On the low end, they are used for leg armor enhancement kits, and on the high end, epic gear. Azjol-Nerub If you can get a group to run Azjol-Nerub with you a

Every Sunday (usually), Spiritual Guidance will offer practical insight for priests of the holy profession. Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of No Stock UI, a new UI and addons blog for WoW. Having some difficulty with Mimiron? Let me help! Mimiron. He is the bane of all healers. Even the most seasoned of raiding healers struggled initially with this gnome and his toys. Perhaps the class and spec that has the a difficulty adjusting to the challenges is the Discipline Priest. Let me help you get through it with a systematic breakdown of the four boss phases and how you can cope no matter which spec you are. Phase 1 The first phase of Mimiron is going to involve Priests using their saves. Guardian Spirit and Pain Suppression will play key roles in helping your tanks stay alive. As Holy Napalm Shell onto players are always a threat to the raid. I like to keep a hasted Greater Heal on standby (with Serendipity). If I’m lucky with Surge of Light procs, I’ll try to stand by and delay until the last possible moment for a target that’s
