1. SWoW is on long-term vacation due to the Leaving Cert. Which is not fun. It’s basically the hell of all school years.
2. Over the next four or five weeks I will be rolling out some content that I found burried in the file system that was meant to go into the third season of SWoW. This includes articles and screencasts.
3. To say sorry, I am including you all in a competition that was only meant to run on View From The Quad to win one of five copies of J.C Hutchins’s book, 7th Son. To enter, all you have to do is email Podcast@StartingWoW.com with the words “7th Son” as the subject.

In the video, I also mention that you can grab the first 10 chapters of the book for FREE! You can do so by clicking http://bit.ly/2snwOA . Order the book on Amazon for an astoundingly low price at http://bit.ly/3dA8Ju and enjoy the rest of the story long before those who win this competition get their copies of the book!

Stay subscribed to the show! If you miss the sound of my sweet voice, you can join me every week on View From The Quad, my other podcast, at www.ViewFromTheQuad.com where we talk about Science, Technology, Sci-fi and life. You might like it. Also, you will get the chance to enter the competition again!

Today on the show I mention the FAQ for the new Faction Changing service, talk about Howling Fjord and Uncrushability.

So, yesterday, it all went down. The new patch came down the pipes, and then the servers started dropping. It just so happened that the instance server dropped as I was doing my first run of The Nexus. The results of which can be found in this video… Enjoy! (The Chat is quite fun, I find. Download the full quality to read it)

That said, it is ONLY for those who would consider themselves SWoW Super Fans. If you want to see if you would enjoy this video, watch the first minute or so using the flash player below, but to be honest, the video quality sucks, so to watch it in any detail at all, use the download link above to download it in nice quality.

Today on the show, I talk about the Authenticator and how it may be coming to mobile devices (like the iPhone) very soon, some new details on the Ulduar raid which will hopefully be popping up in the next content patch, how Germany want to mark World of Warcraft and similar games as Adult Only and even ban them completely, and last, but not least, how World of Warcraft is only for hardcore male gamers. I call bull on that last one, I just am not really sure why.

Of course, when I say “And last, but not lease”, I am not including the random chitterchatter which usually goes on in SWoW episodes.

Now, this is a story all about how
My spec got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became a nerfed hunter and beast master

A west Kalimdor nelf born and raised
Questing in azeroth where I spent most of my days
killing’ noobs pwning’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin some Murlocs outside in a pool
When a couple of devs
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my class forums
I got in one little fight and Cianes got smaller
He said “Damn! now that I’m nerfed I can’t deal Ghostcrawler!

I begged and pleaded with him game after game
But he packed my spec nerf and send me on my way
He gave me a kiss and then he gave me my ticket.
I put big sword down and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.

Nerfed class, yo this is bad
Drinking mana juice out of a big ass glass.
Is this what the people of warlocks Living like?
this might not be alright.

I downloaded the patch 3.0.8
And I yelled to my leetness ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
I looked at my talents
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Nerfed hunter

In this episode of Starting WoW, Pranks pulled in WoW, a splurge of new european transfers, patch 3.0.8 dawns a new day, the Fresh Prince makes an appearance, the Official Wrath of the Lich King Guidebook and whatever else I can pull up. Which happens to be quite a lot, actually.

Welcome to this Starting WoW Holiday Show!

For those of you who have not been around since the start of Season 2, a Holiday show is basically what I do when I’m between seasons. Season two just finished, and season three has not yet started. Therefor, Holiday show. (And since I’m not restarting the numbering of the Holiday Shows, this makes this #11 instead of going all the way back to #1. So there!)

Today on the show, I attempt to announce the winner of that copy of Wrath of the Lich King, talk about WoW addiction, announce a new feature on the site and have a chat with you all, something I havn’t had the chance to do in a fair while.

Hello there and welcome to this episode of Starting World of Warcraft!
Today on the show I read the second half the the wonderful article Sheeplord wrote on the basics of dungeons (again, it is rather biased. I make an attempt to bring said bias back over to the side of the hunter.)
I also give a few tips for legal powerleveling (check the links section below for specific guides) as well as the plugin Auctioneer.

In this episode of the Starting WoW podcast, I feature the article written by Sheeplord specially for Starting WoW all about Dungeons. It is rather biased to warlocks, by the way.

I also talk about reputation, the plugin Spam Sentry and some Wrath of the Lich King news.
