Azeroth United - A World of Warcraft Podcast

Episode 155 | I've spent some serious time in the WoW Forever beta, and it's time to talk about it. This week, we're skipping the usual news rundown and diving straight into my experience with Forever. The revamped leveling experience, new quests and dungeons, talent trees, professions, graphical improvements, realm-less servers, class changes, monetization concerns, horizontal progression, and a whole lot more. There's a lot that I love, a few things I definitely don't, and some big questions that won't be answered until we see where Blizzard takes the game. Plus, we'll do a little speculation about Forever's content cadence and what the roadmap might tell us about the future. After all these changes, one question keeps coming back: Does WoW Forever still feel like Classic?

Episode 154 | BlizzCon 2026 is in the books, and the future of Warcraft looks very different than it did a week ago. This week on Azeroth United, we're breaking down the biggest announcements from BlizzCon, including World of Warcraft: Forever, Midnight: Eclipse, The Last Titan, and the brand-new Warcraft III: Forsaken Kingdom campaign. We'll also look at what Blizzard revealed for Diablo, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and the surprising return of Heroes of the Storm before talking about the long-awaited return of StarCraft. But the main event is World of Warcraft: Forever. We'll dig into what Blizzard revealed, what we've learned since the announcement, what it could mean for the future of Classic WoW, and why I walked away from BlizzCon incredibly excited about this new version of Azeroth. Plus, I'll share some of my experiences from an unforgettable weekend at BlizzCon 2026.

Episode 152 | BlizzCon 2026 is almost here, and it’s time to make some predictions! This week on Azeroth United, we look ahead to Blizzard’s return to Anaheim and try to figure out what the company has planned for World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, StarCraft, and the rest of the Blizzard universe. From the future of Modern WoW and the growing mystery surrounding Project Camelot, to the possibility of new games and some predictions that may come back to haunt me, we're putting it all on the table before BlizzCon begins. We’ll also talk about the history of BlizzCon, remember some notable moments, and look beyond BlizzCon 2026 and talk about where BlizzCon could be heading in the years ahead. Plus, in the news: Microsoft is reportedly shopping several Xbox franchises, including Warcraft and Diablo, to Hollywood, Project Ascension announces its shutdown, J'imothy is discovered in World of Warcraft, and the Race to World First enters its third reset.

Episode 151 | This week we're taking a look at the business of boosting in World of Warcraft. From Mage and Paladin dungeon boosts in Classic to paid raid clears, Mythic+ carries, WoW Tokens, gold buying, RMT, and even services that will play your character for you, boosting has grown into an entire industry surrounding World of Warcraft. But where's the line between paying another player for a service and simply paying someone else to play the game for you? We'll look at how boosting has evolved over the years, Blizzard's attempts to combat it, the connection between boosting, botting, and RMT, and whether paid progression actually affects the players who choose not to participate. Plus, we cover the latest news from around Azeroth, including TBC Anniversary Phase 3, another Project Camelot development, the latest from the Venomous Abyss Race to World First, and a preview of September's Trading Post.
