After Raid

Azeroth is changing, Blizzard is making headlines, and Toys 'R' Us is making a comeback? Welcome to another beautifully chaotic episode of After Raid, the World of Warcraft podcast presented by The Sundering, where the news is real(ish), the opinions are unfiltered, and nothing is off-limits!

This week, Ceraphus, Ali, and Stone dive into the biggest World of Warcraft news coming out of BlizzCon, including WoW Forever, the return of character last names, mob-tagging, and what Blizzard's plans mean for the future of Classic WoW and Warcraft lore.

We're digging into the burning questions surrounding WoW Forever's timeline, potential lore retcons, and how Blizzard plans to expand the original Azeroth without replacing modern WoW. Plus, the latest developer Q&A reveals intriguing details about the Worldsoul Saga, Wrath Remix, The Last Titan, Illidan, and the fate of Sargeras' sword.

And because there's never enough time to collect everything in Azeroth, we're talking Hallow's End mount farming, Headless Horseman drop chances, and time-limited Aqir Invasion rewards you won't want to miss.

Welcome to Episode 4 of After Raid, presented by The Sundering! In this unfiltered, no-holds-barred episode, Ceraphus, Ali, and Stone dive deep into the ultimate World of Warcraft BlizzCon predictions, rumors, and leaks ahead of the big event!

Near-stabbings, cults, and stolen Reese's eggs in real life and total retcon chaos in Azeroth. This week, we’re tearing through Patch 12.1 details, calling out Blizzard’s attempt to rewrite elf and troll history with the Haranir, and laying out the ultimate blueprint for fast alt-leveling and fresh 90 gearing. Plus, we slam the Midsummer mount bag restrictions and hand out some well-deserved FOFFs for sewer cleanout Pipe disasters and expensive TCG hobbies. Grab a drink and lock the door.

In Episode 2 of After Raid, the hosts dive into the head-scratching fixes of Patch 12.0.7 where Blizzard resolved Warrior shield issues by completely turning off weapon durability and share an early preview of Patch 12.1's single-boss raid lairs. The crew also dons their tinfoil hats to dissect an unhinged lore conspiracy involving five magical balls from the Omninomnom Folio questline that might just doom Azeroth. Finally, they round out the chaos some easy to get mounts, a strange neighborhood hide and seek story and wrap it up with a fresh batch of "FOFF and PROPs".

Welcome to After Raid, the ultimate unfiltered World of Warcraft podcast presented by The Sundering. Hosted by Ceraphus, Ali, and Stone, this is your weekly post-raid debrief where we wade through the wreckage of the live game, dissect the latest patch notes, and call out the broken shit Blizzard still hasn't fixed. No corporate hand-waving, no filters—just the raw truth from the MMO trenches.

In our debut episodes, we are tackling the chaotic rollout of Patch 12.0.5 and looking ahead to the Patch 12.0.7 PTR. We break down everything from bugged housing systems, borked Voidforge bonus rolls, and class tracking glitches (looking at you, Sub Rogues and Demonology Warlocks), to the implementation of Void Assaults and Ritual Sites. We also dive deep into upcoming content, including the single-boss Sporefall raid, spore-infused gear, the new zones of Naigtal and Val, the customizable Omnium Folio rune system, and flexible 15–25 player Mythic raiding.

Whether you are a Mythic+ player grinding for a 3.4k rating mount, a player obsessed with Decor Duels and outdoor housing lighting, or a lore nerd investigating the ancient Amani Troll mysteries and C'Thraxxi generals under Zul'Aman, After Raid is your new home. We wrap up every show with our signature, hilarious "FOFF & Props" community segment, venting about expensive jewelcrafting mats, broken guild UIs, and real-life chaos.

Lock the door, grab a drink, and come pay the repair bill with us.

Brought to you by one of the co-creators of The Sundering, After Raid is the unfiltered, bad-mannered World of Warcraft podcast. We aren't here to give you corporate-friendly patch notes—we’re here to gut the WoW lore, hunt down rare mounts, and talk about the game the way it’s actually played in the trenches. If you were looking for "family-friendly," you took a wrong turn at Goldshire.

In this pilot episode, hosts Ceraphus, Stone, and Ali break down exactly what you can expect from the show going forward
