Citizens of Azeroth: A World of Warcraft Podcast

As the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end," and so it goes with Citizens of Azeroth. Rafe gives an update explaining why the show is coming to an end, at least for now. We thank you for listening, for your support, and for your friendship, but for now our time together in Azeroth has come to an end. Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This. Find Chris on Twitter.

It's been awhile and we're going to talk about why we've been gone. Listen to us as we talk about a sense of apathy towards Warcraft, possible plans for streaming, the new 9.1 patch: Chains of Domination, and why we think Blizzard has made some serious missteps in the game we know and love, as laid out in the recent Carbot video: This is the World of Warcraft.

We talk about issues with raiding, the possibility of upcoming allied races, our excitement about this week's digital BlizzCon, and more!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Torghast has gone through quite a few changes since our last episode and we spend a fair amount of time talking about it. We also focus on a couple other things we aren't so thrilled about in Shadowlands: the mission table and Threads of Fate. We're still enjoying Shadowlands, however, and we hope you are too!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

The Shadowlands have officially opened and we are deep in it. This week we talk about our initial reactions to World of Warcraft's latest expansion. Rafe talks about the drive in preparing for mythic raiding while Chris shares the more casual mentality as we deal with all that Shadowlands has to offer: the leveling through the new zones, the new systems including picking our Covenants, the new mission table, the Maw, and Torghast. Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Shadowlands is live so we break from our usual format to talk just about the latest World of Warcraft expansion. How did we feel about the pre-patch events? What can we expect heading into the new content? What will there be to do as our time in the Shadowlands begins? How are you picking a Covenant? We discuss all of these and more and welcome your questions and comments about the beginning of a new era of World of Warcraft for future episodes!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

As we mentioned last week, there isn't a lot to do in Pre-Patch except level alts. So why do we have so many problems with how leveling is currently handled? Not that we'll have to worry about it for long, as Shadowlands has gotten its new release date and will be here soon (and not Blizzard Soon(TM)). We also get silly about lockboxes and discuss anniversary events, Metzen's new board game endeavor, and Blizzard going into overdrive for the rest of the year.Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

The pre-patch has dropped and your character has now been reduced to level 50. Now what? Although the pre-patch brings a revised leveling experience and some new abilities, it also highlights a problem with Warcraft right now - a lack of things to do. We talk about the latest developments in retail, classic, and beta World of Warcraft, as well as discussing the ramifications of a key phrase released in the Shadowlands survival-guide and whether Blizzard could let an expansion end with us losing.

We finally got a release date for Pre-Patch but with it came the news that the actual Shadowlands release is being pushed back. Rafe and Chris talk about that as well as Mike Morheim's new game company, Diablo changes, support classes, and multi-boxing. NOTE: Due to recording issues, the audio quality on this episode is not up to our usual expectations.

This week we talk about motivations behind changing our mains for the new expansion. Shadowlands pre-patch can't be far off, evidenced by the huge Developer Update we got, but for now we have the last two of the Afterlives shorts to chat about. We also talk about computer specs for Warcraft, what lies in the future for Classic, and how you too can get an evil demon cat companion in the game!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

We have a Shadowlands Relase Date! Hope you've put in for that time off the week before Halloween, because that's when the Shadowlands open. We also talk about the "Afterlives" animations we've seen so far, Garrosh getting unceremoniously censored, Thrall's role in the new Horde, what we're planning on having as a main in the new expansion, and more!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Rafe is exploring Shadowlands Beta, but it's hard to follow the narrative when you get "Epic In-Game Event!" instead of the actual event. Chris is digging further into Hearthstone and Diablo 3 events.

The Gallywix RMT Controversy surprised a lot of people. Don't know that that means? Don't worry - we'll explain it. We also talk about Blizzard's tribute to Reckful, money issues in America (yes, really), the controversies surrounding the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj on Classic, and WoW in a VR setting.  Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

The big Shadowlands streaming presentation last week might have been disappointing - or it might have gotten you excited about World of Warcraft again. Either way, we break down the information revealed, including Shadowlands moving into beta testing this week! What do we think about the collector's edition (with the return of the art book)?

It's our week off, but we wanted to take the opportunity for a little shameless self-promotion. Recently, Rafe's other podcast, Have Not Seen This, looked at the 2016 film adaptation Warcraft. You can hear a snippet of the conversation here as Rafe and guest Luke Kunka talk about how buff Gul'dan is and how none of the Mak'gora challenges seem to be played fair.

While we haven't recorded in a few weeks due to... well, everything in the world, the Warcraft news cycle hasn't stopped. This week Rafe and Chris try to make their way through a flood of news, from Blizzard's increased action towards botters and hackers to recent developments of an unsavory nature with a high profile guild. Curseforge has been sold, WoW Classic had an esports event, you can look forward to jewelry, flowers, vines, and burn marks in your character's future appearance, and more!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

This week we revisit the Echoes of Nyalotha system after it has gone live in the game, mourn the loss of this year's BlizzCon, consider what an animated World of Warcraft series might be like, talk about MMORPGs on consoles, and discuss why role-playing (RP) is an appealing element of the game that comes from the player, not the game company.*Notes: this episode was recorded on May 31st but delayed due to last week's events. We've made efforts to remove references that are no longer relevant (such as the now-delayed Blizzard event on June 9th), but just wanted to throw that reminder in there just in case we missed something. Also, while we may be releasing the episode, the events that made us take pause last week are far from over.

Hey all - this should have been our week with a new episode and we did sit down and record one on Sunday, but it just feels wrong to release a new episode right now with everything going on in the world. It is definitely a time that we need to stop and listen, and putting an episode out feels antithetical to that. So, we're going to sit on the new episode for a few days. We encourage everyone who can to get involved, but more importantly, be safe and be kind.

There is quite a bit of news to talk about this week, from interviews with Morgan Day and Ion Hazzikostas to rumors about a remastered Diablo II. We wish Leeroy Jenkins a happy anniversary, discuss the new Small World of Warcraft Board Game, consider what the new @WoWEsports Twitter account might signify, and discuss the recent debate on how the social experience of World of Warcraft has changed over the course of the game's growth.Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Chris and Rafe are back with a look at the changes coming to the bulk of the class changes coming in Shadowlands and we're asking a lot of questions as we look at them: have casters not gotten as much attention or just not gotten balanced yet? What will Blizzard have to do to make mages more appealing? What should Rafe play as a Vulpera? The biggest discovery over the course of this conversation, however, is how often the description of the class is now that it's "fun".

Hey all - no new episode this week, but I (Rafe) did want to give an update as to what's going on with the show. As you may have seen, I announced last week some changes were coming on our various social media accounts, and then one of those changes was also announced, so this week I'm giving a brief update about where the show stands and where we are currently thinking things will go.

The Shadowlands Alpha has not only brought an expansion of new content, but another opportunity to tweak, change, or alter classes and specializations. This week we begin diving into the over-arching changes being made to the classes, starting with druids, paladins, and monks (because those are the ones we play as mains). We invite you to contact us (azerothcitizens@gmail.com) with your own reactions to class changes you play as mains as we dive into the rest of the class changes next week.Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Find Alora on Twitter or streaming on Twitch.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Despite our predictions last week, the Shadowlands Alpha was not only announced, but has already opened and brought with it a flood of information about the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion. This week we sift through the new information and talk about everything from the first zone and covenant to the class changes that have us excited to the updated leveling experience.

While Battle for Azeroth may have many things that can be criticized, the storytelling is not among them. This week we look at some of the overarching stories from the expansion, from Sylvanas's villany to Saurfang's search for honor to Jaina Proudmore's haunted past. We dig into some aspects of the War Campaign on both Alliance and Horde sides, so be warned you may want to finish the post-Ny'alotha stories before hearing the last part of the episode.Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Find Alora on Twitter or streaming on Twitch.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Some are easy to get, some are not, but you'll want to try to get them all as you work toward achievements like "Mountain of Mounts" and "A Horde of Hoofbeats." We give you our take on how to find some of the more interesting ones.

Blizzard managed to ignite interest in all of their major games this week with an expansion announcement (Hearthstone), a new hero announcement (Overwatch), and a major XP buff (World of Warcraft). It's a good thing too, because we certainly could use all of the distractions we can get given the current "social distance" atmosphere of the world.

It's hard to believe there have already been seven expansions for World of Warcraft, with an eighth, Shadowlands, on the horizon (possibly the far, far horizon). This week we begin a look back at the expansions of the past - the stories, the reputations, the dungeons, the raids, etc. We share memories, what we liked, and maybe what we didn't like so much.

What are we as viewers getting out of Blizzard's move to YouTube for e-sports? And who is the best dungeon boss of BFA? We also discuss the troubled release of Warcraft III reforged and the latest (at the time we recorded) in the Race to World's First for Ny'alotha!A quick note: At the time we recorded this episode, Blizzard had not responded to the Warcraft III reforged issues.

It's the end of the decade and all the cool kids are doing retrospectives, so we figured we'd try our hand at looking at how the past ten years have treated World of Warcraft. We look at highs, lows, and somehow come to the conclusion that Warlords of Draenor wasn't as bad as everyone seems to think it was. We also talk about a few news stories surrounding patch 8.3, and Rafe rants about the Party Finder system.

Merry Christmas from all three of us at Citizens of Azeroth. It's Christmas week and we're spending the time with our family, friends, and loved ones, but wanted to make sure we had something out this week, so we're releasing an episode of Rafe's movie podcast Have Not Seen This that actually serves as a sort of origin for this podcast. In this episode, Alora made her podcasting debut to discuss the 1988 movie Willow. She has some great insights into the movie, including a great "leveling up" theory, and of course, as WoW players, we do bring the movie back to the game several times.

Last week we talked about Blizzard's announcement that time is becoming limited to be able to freely purchase the Caravan Brutosaur mount, which has sent many players off on the quest to earn five million gold to purchase the soon-to-be rare dinosaur. So this week we look at some tips and tricks to earn gold in game to help achieve that goal. We also begin our own gold making challenge.

Last week we started discussing the problems causing a lack of engagement and apathy towards World of Warcraft. This week we look at possible solutions - both those the eventual arrival of Shadowlands might bring and others that are more things we'd like to see Blizzard implement. In current news, elves and death knights are getting new eyes pet battles will be seeing some changes, and Hearthstone's 8-man battlegrounds has gone into open beta!Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Find Alora in the Emerald Dream.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

It doesn't take much looking around on the Internet to see that there's a "pretty distinct grumpiness" about World of Warcraft as it currently sits. After discussing this week's top news stories, including the 15th Anniversary Celebration, we start to pinpoint some of the issues we've found being discussed. We cannot reiterate enough, however, that we all love World of Warcraft and by no means are we trying to focus on the negative here, rather, just start a discussion on what is problematic and how it can be dealt with. Consider this part one of a two part discussion, as next week we'll focus on possible solutions.Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Find Alora in the Emerald Dream.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.
