You're listening to the story.

You're listening to the Starting Zone, a podcast about World of Warcraft and the people who play it.

And now, here are your hosts.

Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone, the podcast about World of Warcraft,

the people who play it. Today is February 1st,

2023 and my name is Spencer Downey. Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the

podcast. I'm joined today as always by my co-host Jason Lucas. Jason, how are you doing this fine Wednesday?

Spencer, hello, I'm doing well.

Happy trading post release day to you.

Not a happy trading post release day

to Blizzard's Live ops team however.

As we speak we're down for extended maintenance they just put on a blue post that

says that they put the trading post up it broke and they had to take it down and they won't be back until at least tomorrow after some more maintenance.

So that's kind of a bummer. You have a big feature that you publicize so much and then it just doesn't go live right so yeah

but basically what I'm saying is we have no firsthand impressions of the live

trading post and associated systems for this week which is sad but we'll talk about it next week, I'm sure. But yeah, that will be rolling out at some point in the next, you know, couple days here worldwide.

Yeah, I still want to cover what's actually going to be up in the store because they did actually release a post around what's happening.

So we'll talk a little bit of trading post.

We can't talk about the interaction and experience and how you get the quest or what the quest does or anything like that.

We can just talk about what's on for sale, which is kind of cool to talk about anyway.

So we'll dive into that a little bit later in the show, but Jason, why don't you talk about what you did this past week

in the Worlds of Warcraft?
