This includes the Job quests.

One set of daily roulettes gives me about 6-7 levels in the 50s bracket.

NEWS:

FFXIV:


ABK:

WoW:

Timeskip confirmed, normally there is a ingame timeline duration of every expansion of either ONE or TWO years.

Since, according to the blue post, Shadowlands began in the year 35 and Dragonflight will start in the year 40, it’s going to be FIVE years between the expansions, and since the expansion story lasted 2 years, that leaves THREE years of “breathing room” for the world of Azeroth.

No major references will be in game that deal with the 3 years gap, other than the results of events that happened, one example, Lor’themar Theron and Thalyssra are getting married in that time we are gone.

There will be a digital short story released.


WoWC:

Wrath Classic: 

Surviving the Zombie Infestation and Scourge Invasion starting Sept. 6 for the infestation and Sept. 13 for the invasion.

Pre Patch events.

ABK Earnings report:

Blizzard’s numbers are catastrophic!

Revenue down 28%, bookings down 15% and net income is down 68%.

MAUs only went up (year over year) by roughly 1 million from 26 to 27 million.

From Q1 to Q2 ‘22 MAUs went up from 22 to 27 million, likely due to Diablo: Immortal.

Diablo: Immortal had 30 million installs, so Blizzard tells us.

 Quarter over Quarter there is an increase of MAUs of 5 million.

 China launch was delayed, so we’ll see other MAU numbers at the next earnings report.

Hello everyone!


I may have just seen the twitch notification that the podcast was live and may have just remembered that I had forgotten to submit a thing.  All good now! ^_^


This week I have a little audio from my adventures and a Blast from the Past from episode 450.  Enjoy!
