Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone, the podcast about World of Warcraft and people who play it today is November 23rd, 2025, and my name is Spencer Downey. Thank you so much

for listening and subscribing to the podcast.

I am joined today, as always, by my co-host, Jason Lucas.

Jason, how are you doing?

Welcome back on this fine Sunday.

Oh, Spencer, hello.

Thank you.

Yes, it is November 23rd, which means today is the literal 21st anniversary of Wow, launch in North America.

So, wow, that really takes me back.

I can remember that that day well, 21 years on, but I'm doing well.

I'm a little wiped out.

I had a great vacation, but it was also a lot of traveling and a lot of, you know, doing

stuff.

My sleep schedule is shot.

So, yeah, I had very little time to play.

I haven't played well very much at all since last we spoke.

But, you know, it felt nice to get out of that routine a little bit.

And obviously, I'm not lamenting

the fact i didn't get to play because it's a slow time for the game anyway i what was i really

even missing but then it is it then it becomes a little weird or intimidating to try to get back
