Welcome to Warcraft Reloaded Episode 149! In this episode, your hosts Bob and Mel are joined by Winky, and Al/Okona to bring you the latest news and updates from Classic WoW.

In the opening segment, we hear from the community with a couple voicemails, an e-mail, and a some discord questions. This sparks some great conversation about raiding in Ulduar, the importance of video games to each of us, and our favorite sound effects and gaming soundtracks. We also discuss a community members idea for classic plus, involving removing leveling from the game.

Moving on to the news segment, the hosts discuss the latest updates from Blizzard President Mike Ybarra regarding BlizzCon and the addition of the Authenticator to the Battle.net mobile app for iOS. We discuss what the development of WoW Classic Patch 1.15 might mean for the classic era and season of mastery community.

In the third segment, the hosts get to know Al by asking about his WoW background, when he started playing WoW retail, how long he played for, and why he came back for Classic. They also ask about his preferred class and faction, and about his podcast, Mere Casuals. Al shares his insights on various topics and anything else he'd like to talk about.

Finally, in the last segment, the hosts reveal the addon of the week, Fishing Buddy (Classic), and give a preview of what to expect in the next episode.
