 TheCore PodcastOur World of Warcraft, live from Maiev Brought to you by the World of Warcraft Alliance faction guild, TheCore! OK, so we thought we'd crank out a podcast once in a while about our guild, the game, our server (Maiev) and maybe even throw in some "real life" stuff now and then. Hopefully we can provide a bit of substance, helpful info and good humor while highlighting our guild, TheCore, our puny little server Maiev and the game World of Warcraft. Keep in mind we're not experts, we're just players! Feedback, comments, suggestions, thumbs up, thumbs down, what-have-yous are welcome but please keep it mature!

Is that a word? I dunno. But, wow, this episode is one you really want to listen to. We haven't had a podcast out in a while (yeah a bit overdue) so the Maiev Suck-o-Meter was updated, we talked about the new Ruby Sanctum raid instance and Halion, the end boss. We dished it out to guild hoppers, talked about some helpful addons, found out Tony knows about a special website - ahem, dating? - for gamers, and well, to put it bluntly, has a keen eye for Worgen furry boo%ies. Don't ask me... ! But, the real meat of this episode is the new Blizzard Real ID discussion. As we were recording the podcast Monday evening Blizzard was about to unleash news upon the gamer world that has - to put it mildly - rocked the boat! So, we gathered again on Wednesday and added a special supplement to Episode #005 and had a nice chat about this crazyness regarding Blizzard's announced plans for the Real ID system. Oh ya and there's lots more stuff in this episode. Episode #005 should be available for RSS download off this site soon and on iTunes... so keep an eye (and ear) out for it!
