Citizens of Azeroth: A World of Warcraft Podcast

This week we talk about motivations behind changing our mains for the new expansion. Shadowlands pre-patch can't be far off, evidenced by the huge Developer Update we got, but for now we have the last two of the Afterlives shorts to chat about. We also talk about computer specs for Warcraft, what lies in the future for Classic, and how you too can get an evil demon cat companion in the game!

We have a Shadowlands Relase Date! Hope you've put in for that time off the week before Halloween, because that's when the Shadowlands open. We also talk about the "Afterlives" animations we've seen so far, Garrosh getting unceremoniously censored, Thrall's role in the new Horde, what we're planning on having as a main in the new expansion, and more!

This week's independent podcast promotion is for Intelligence Check.

Rafe is exploring Shadowlands Beta, but it's hard to follow the narrative when you get "Epic In-Game Event!" instead of the actual event. Chris is digging further into Hearthstone and Diablo 3 events. And we debate whether Mak'goras have ever actually been presented as honorable challenges in the World of Warcraft.

The Gallywix RMT Controversy surprised a lot of people. Don't know that that means? Don't worry - we'll explain it. We also talk about Blizzard's tribute to Reckful, money issues in America (yes, really), the controversies surrounding the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj on Classic, and WoW in a VR setting.

The big Shadowlands streaming presentation last week might have been disappointing - or it might have gotten you excited about World of Warcraft again. Either way, we break down the information revealed, including Shadowlands moving into beta testing this week! What do we think about the collector's edition (with the return of the art book)? What about gender swapping at the barber show? Listen on to hear our reactions to all of this and more!

It's our week off, but we wanted to take the opportunity for a little shameless self-promotion. Recently, Rafe's other podcast, Have Not Seen This, looked at the 2016 film adaptation Warcraft. You can hear a snippet of the conversation here as Rafe and guest Luke Kunka talk about how buff Gul'dan is and how none of the Mak'gora challenges seem to be played fair. If you like what you hear, you can find the full episode on your podcast players or by following this link. We'll be back for our regularly scheduled episode next week!

While we haven't recorded in a few weeks due to... well, everything in the world, the Warcraft news cycle hasn't stopped. This week Rafe and Chris try to make their way through a flood of news, from Blizzard's increased action towards botters and hackers to recent developments of an unsavory nature with a high profile guild. Curseforge has been sold, WoW Classic had an esports event, you can look forward to jewelry, flowers, vines, and burn marks in your character's future appearance, and more!

This week we revisit the Echoes of Nyalotha system after it has gone live in the game, mourn the loss of this year's BlizzCon, consider what an animated World of Warcraft series might be like, talk about MMORPGs on consoles, and discuss why role-playing (RP) is an appealing element of the game that comes from the player, not the game company.

*Notes: this episode was recorded on May 31st but delayed due to last week's events. We've made efforts to remove references that are no longer relevant (such as the now-delayed Blizzard event on June 9th), but just wanted to throw that reminder in there just in case we missed something. Also, while we may be releasing the episode, the events that made us take pause last week are far from over. We ask that you continue to be safe and be kind, and be involved in whatever way you find possible.

This week's independent podcast promotion is for Cutting Class.

Hey all - this should have been our week with a new episode and we did sit down and record one on Sunday, but it just feels wrong to release a new episode right now with everything going on in the world. It is definitely a time that we need to stop and listen, and putting an episode out feels antithetical to that. So, we're going to sit on the new episode for a few days. We encourage everyone who can to get involved, but more importantly, be safe and be kind. We'll be back soon and we'll see you in Azeroth.

There is quite a bit of news to talk about this week, from interviews with Morgan Day and Ion Hazzikostas to rumors about a remastered Diablo II. We wish Leeroy Jenkins a happy anniversary, discuss the new Small World of Warcraft Board Game, consider what the new @WoWEsports Twitter account might signify, and discuss the recent debate on how the social experience of World of Warcraft has changed over the course of the game's growth.
