Embracing Forever

Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back from California to talk further about their experiences at Blizzcon as well as their experiences in the WoW Forever beta. First, Rei talks about some of the meals the gang shared at Blizzcon and some friendship bracelets they made and some pins that were collected. In WoW, she talks further about people applying to join the guild and Nick imagines LinkedIn connectivity for guild chat. The gang also shares quest suggestions they left for Blizzard.

Eric talks about how touring the Blizzard offices made him sad. He also mentions that the raid has progressed over the last few weeks as well.

Kurabara talks about the zerg-themed drink he purchased at the Blizzard Starbucks. He also talks about finally receiving his metal collector’s disk.

Then the gang talks about their experiences with the Forever beta. They talk about some of the bugs they encountered as well as all the other players and the need for grouping. They discuss the camping system and how the addition of last names are affecting the game. They also talk about ideas for the future and where they think WoW Forever could go.
