September 25, 2020 The Instance 616: A Haven for Dreams and Things
We talk about one of the more fun wow bugs lately. The long deleted are coming back to haunt some players. Barbershops and character creation got interesting, and gone is the Appearance Change charges. No more bonus rolls, and we think that's pretty great. Are you at all excited about BlizzConline? We think the name is dumb but we are excited anyway. We go deep into the new Morhaime venture, Dreamhaven, and what it might mean for you as players of the kinds of games they are likely to build.
