It's time. Let's talk TBC Classic. The listeners have been patient as the show took a break post-Blizzcon but is back with a vengeance as we finally break down a topic that many of you have waited almost two years to discuss - The Burning Crusade and how it may go as a 'Classic' title. Listen in on several die-hard Countdown fans, and TBC veterans, talk about their memories from the TBC days and how the community may approach the game if it were dropped as an expansion later down the track. Also, hot on the heels of Phase 2 arriving 10 days ago, we talk a little about how that blood stained experience has been. The episode also features the WoW Classic fan panel at Blizzcon that Josh was lucky enough to moderate, as well as Josh's interesting re-telling of the 2019 Blizzcon experience.

It's Countdown To Classic's inaugural interview episode, and to celebrate this momentous occasion I spoke with YouTuber Alexensual for a 75 min interview about the history of vanilla private servers, Alex's views on his perception within the community, and Alex's hopes and expectations for World of Warcraft: Classic. The episode then has a bit of fun, asking Alexensual to take part in his very own segment of Anger Management, as well as introducing The Hot Seat, where Countdown To Classic puts some fun, hypothetical questions to the interviewee.

Let's get physical! ...I mean, topical!!

So close.  Episode #59.  We're almost at 60. It's the calm before the storm at Countdown To Classic HQ, and we ease into this milestone by talking about how to mix up your WoW experience and push yourself to your WoW limits! Josh plays a great couple of calls, firstly, with Stone from 'WoW Challenges' about how you could spice up your time with WoW Classic if you think you've done everything you can within the game.  After that, he speaks with McRaptor a bit more about the challenges one can set themselves within the game and the parallels between Dark Souls and WoW.

It's Monday over at Countdown To Classic which means it's time to hit the forums!  This week we look over what potential change would you draw the line at with World of Warcraft: Classic, whether or not Paladins should be doing more than they are in vanilla, and whether fixing incomplete quest lines is something that should be completely off the table.

Countdown To Classic isn’t messing around in 2019 as we stuff this episode full of chatter, with three great calls covering a great variety of topics. Prepare for Australia Day by listening to a pack of rabid Aussies talk about how the game is played down under, then we turn to a business call with a few economist gamers, as we break down exactly how Activision Blizzard works from a corporate standpoint and what’s been going on with them and their stock price lately, and finally we hear from a couple of avid WoW players who power through the game in spite of their physical impairments.

Then we hear from former vanilla WoW class designer Kevin Jordan on Warlocks for another amazing segment of Ask Kevin. After that, the show features an in depth interview with Martin Falch, creator of the immensely popular machinima series from back in the day, 'Tales of the Past' to discuss the ins and outs of making those movies.

It's a Triple P kind of day over at Countdown To Classic as we discuss Paladins, Podcasting, and Playing Roles (that's kind of cheating, I know). Listen as as three very experienced and knowledgeable players, Theloras, Smiter, and Sonosuke, talk listeners through the minutiae of Paladin PvE across all three specs, in what was a very extensive and enjoyable chat. After that we hear from a group of passionate RP-PvP'ers who want their voices heard all the way in Irvine, CA about why Blizzard should reconsider their position on not having RP-PVP servers at launch. And, finally, the show is lucky enough to welcome some WoW Podcasting royalty in Star Mike (World of Warcast) & Rho (Realm Maintenance), along with two newcomers to the podcasting game in Allen & Anthony (The Classic Casual), to discuss the history and fun of podcasting about World of Warcraft.

This Monday, Countdown To Classic mixes things up by putting our detective hats on and just spending the episode analysing one topic in particular instead of the traditional three.  During the week, we got our first potential 'leaks' of World of Warcraft: Classic information.  When this comes from a company that isn't historically known for being leaky, naturally the skeptics came out to play, of which Countdown To Classic is one.  Join us as we break the news down from all angles, whilst trying to be as fair, and polite, as possible without necessarily kissing bums. Covering a lot of Patch 1.1 chat along the way. This episode is a little different to our usual Monday episodes, so if this is your first listen, then be sure to check out other Monday episodes for a true feel of what the news shows are usually like!

Speaking with someone who was a part of the team that made the game that is the subject of this podcast has been a lofty goal of Josh's ever since beginning this journey with you all. Listen in as Josh sits down for a very special, lengthy, chat with vanilla World of Warcraft's original 3D Level Designer, and architect of many of the caves, dungeons and raids that you've spent hundreds of hours in, John Staats. John has written a book, titled 'The World of Warcraft Diary: A Journal In Computer Game Development' (which will have a Kickstarter campaign starting on August 28).  John was kind enough to send me a preview of the first 100 pages of the book and I can easily say it's something that I will be recommending getting behind wholeheartedly as an excellent 'in the room' account of the making of World of Warcraft. This is an exceptionally long interview.  John was too kind in affording me 3 1/2 hours of his time over two back to back days.  Whilst you may rightfully balk at this run time, I can assure you every minute of this chat had me on the edge of my seat and unveiled a bunch of things that we simply never knew about the development of World of Warcraft.

Stress test #1 of World of Warcraft Classic is in the books and the Countdown To Classic listeners are here to regale you with their tales of the experience. After hearing all about C'Thun & Hogger messing with people (that is if they even got in at all!), the show then  brings you a one on one chat between Josh and a beloved Classic content creator, Frostadamus.  Frost chats all about himself, grinding/farming, the economy, and the AH in a great intimate chat. Following that, the show goes off piste slightly, as a bunch of listeners call in to discuss a topic that has everyone talking lately, Game of Thrones! Why the hell is GoT being discussed on a WoW Classic podcast?!? Well, the crew highlights the parallels between GoT and WoW, the references in game, and also can't help but touch on some thoughts regarding Season 8 and the finale (FULL SPOILER WARNING!).

It's time to break down the first playable version of World of Warcraft Classic that we've been given as the closed beta dropped this past week. Josh speaks with Defcamp & Polydox in a call recorded after two days spent with the beta, and then takes another call from Ayle after six days with the game, as the callers cover off on bugs, PvP and whether or not the game is fun and running well. After that, Josh hears from IT professional Linkson, who stops by to give further clarification on exactly what Blizzard's proposed 'layering' system entails, explaining it further to the listeners. And, finally, in saving the best for last, vanilla WoW class designer Kevin Jordan stops by for the last instalment in his fantastic 'Ask Kevin' series, as he sits down with the Countdown community to discuss WoW, MMORPG's, the gaming industry and Blizzard in a candid, final interview.

The beta rolls on and brings with it a couple of fresh talking points for the show and its listeners to tackle this week with Josh. Warsong Gulch has been open for a couple of weeks now in the beta and Arathi Basin just opened days ago, and with those come the bloodthirsty PvP testers looking to see how things perform on the battlegrounds. After that we break down stream sniping, after some comments made by streamer Sodapoppin ignited the forums this past week on the issue. Then, we welcome back vanilla WoW level designer John Staats, for the first of a lengthy ongoing segment all about the design of vanilla WoW's instances.  Listen in to part one of this series, as John tells us all about how he built one of the most beloved dungeons in MMORPG history, Blackrock Depths. The show then rounds out with a great call with a sitting member of the state of Maine's House of Representatives, about that one time that WoW got caught up in politics, and also a follow up call from last week, for a slightly different angle on the Trollgodx issue at the dueling tournament.

Less than seven weeks to launch and there's more to talk about on the show than ever! Listen to Josh discuss a wide range of topics with the listeners, who continue to call in for a fun chat. Today, Hunter extraordinaire Zeroed stops by to chat about all of the Hunter issues that have reared their ugly head in the beta, causing concern for everyone wanting to roll their beloved ranged class in Classic.  Vanilla dungeon designer John Staats stops by again for part one of an epic two part conversation about the making of Karazhan, which while not being playable in vanilla, was very much a part of the vanilla design process. Next, we unite former nemeses in a call about vanilla raid history, as members of famed guilds Nihilum and Death & Taxes stop by to bury the hatchet and fondly reminisce about their feats back in the day.  After that, we go over some detailed theorycrafting about warriors, warlocks and priests amongst others, and then finish up speaking with the host of the fantastic podcast 'Convert To Raid', as Pat Krane stops by to talk about what it's been like coming back to Classic in the beta after so many years with retail.

Today, we make a delayed check in on how things are going with Phase 2 of TBC thus far with the raiding scene and more with previous guest of the show, Yolo.

The final episode of Countdown To Classic is upon us - and the show has every intention of going out large! Josh pulls out all the stops as we go through a two part, epic conclusion to the series, from chats about the making of vanilla to current PvP issues in game. Gaming legend, and World of Warcraft's original lead designer, Rob Pardo stops by for an in depth chat about his recollection of the early days of WoW, as well as talking TBC, Starcraft, Diablo, Classic, MMORPG's in general, and his current project at Bonfire Studios. After that we hear from a bunch of show favourites, as Josh breaks out his rolodex (...in 2020?) and calls MVP guests to discuss PvP as well as speedrunning raids. Look out for part two very soon!!!

It's Interview Week over at Countdown To Classic HQ as we start the week off with the first of three in depth interviews, supplemented with a mini interview afterwards. Today, we go over a bit of blanket coverage of Mages in vanilla World of Warcraft as hardcore raider North stops by to discuss everything and anything in relation to our frost/fire/arcane spell slinging friends. After that, Josh takes a 'shorter' call (being less than an hour....just) from listener Deathlace, who talked Smite Priests, theorycrafting, arcane mages, and eventually unveiled himself as a game dev/designer for a well known title (which shall remain nameless!) and finished off by briefly discussing game design & itemisation in vanilla WoW.
