The Season of Discovery has been announced and accompanied with excitement and hype here on the Countdown To Classic end of things! We now (kind of) know the road map ahead for Classic, and we speak with a bunch of guests about their impressions of the announcement, the demo, and the small amount of info Blizzard has made public about the game. No spoiler concerns here, as we only discuss the stuff that has been announced somewhere by a Blizzard source, helping keep that sense of discovery alive until we start playing the game and finding all the secrets ourselves!Season of Discovery Playable Demo Review w/ Ayle, Rollo, Ziimm & Trill - 8:50SoD Faction Balance News w/ Bawlsosteel, Cleavis, Reformed & Waldo - 2:07:25SoD Early Thoughts w/ North, Drew, Sneakyb4rd, & Spihana - 3:07:35Blizzcon Event Review & A Little More SoD Chat w/ Ayle, Quissy, & Ziimm - 4:42:00Buy Josh a beer & help keep Countdown on the airwaves over at Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/joshcorbett Or if subscriptio

No cute episode titles today, just the facts. We came to chew gum and make predictions and I'm all out of gum. First up, we have an amazing community call with a crowd of Countdown regulars discussing what they believe the basic tenets and specific content of a potential Classic Plus should include. After that, we talk Blizzcon and hear from the amazing Jason of The Starting Zone podcast about what may be getting announced this weekend.

There were two huge accomplishments on Hardcore servers since our last episode, and I had only time to cover one, so as tough as it was not to talk about my Warrior hitting 60, I opted to invite Ahmpy, GM of <Frontier> on to the show to discuss their kill of KT. After that, we run into a couple of old friends at the WoW Classic bar as I sit down with Defcamp and Melderon to catch up and get their takes on Blizzcon and what's been happening lately with WoW Classic.The Final Frontier w/ Ahmpy - 6:50Just Like Old Times w/ Defcamp & Melderon - 2:21:40Buy Josh a beer & help keep Countdown on the airwaves over at Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/joshcorbett Or if subscriptions aren't your thing, support Josh & Countdown by shouting him a one time beer here: https://ko-fi.com/countdowntoclassicFind Ahmpy on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/ahmpyFind Defcamp on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/defcampFind Melderon's new podcast on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@ChaosPeoplePodcastChe
