Episode #124 - Sliding Into DMs

News is upon us as Blizzard lets us know that the first content drop post launch is coming a little sooner than planned as things are being shaken up a bit for the phases of WoW Classic. Listen in as we discuss getting Dire Maul, the implications of the news, and crackpot theories about what it might mean moving forward. After that, the show kicks on with general PvP observations thus far, more from MMORPG legend Mark Jacobs about the making of DAoC, and finally we touch on the possibility of 'seasonal servers' to help draw out the life cycle of WoW Classic.
