No One Expects the Activision Acquisition!

Nick, Rei, and Eric are back while Kura is under the weather to talk about what has been going on in the World of Warcraft! First, Rei talks about helping out a guildie and also helping out a pug and getting a guild donation as a result. She also mentions visiting the barbershop and doing the Eastern Kingdoms Cup. Nick speculates that the Cups could replace Timewalking in the event schedule if they ever decide to break Timewalking out into its own thing.

Then, Eric talks about leveling alts in Timewalking and Nick agrees it is great for the experience. They also discuss the quickest way to get credit towards the Sandy Shalewing mount.

Nick discusses a leak about how WoW will be moving to a seasonal model with DLC for dungeons and talks about how there are concerns about the forthcoming acquisition, and he is willing to admit this may be problematic in the long run.

In the news, the gang is hyped for Blizzcon as the goodie bag digital items have been revealed. They discuss the mount and pet that are available as well as the goods for other games. They also talk about the floorplan for Blizzcon and discuss the coming launch of Warcraft Rumble. There is also a leaked mount name that might shed some light on the coming expansion. Nick mentions the Blizzcon Guild Clash that will be happening at Blizzcon.

Next, we take a look back 100 episodes to episode #148 at Christmas Eve in 2019, when we were looking forward to patch 8.3 and had no idea was was coming in a few short months.
