Show Notes 

Welcome to Episode 36! – 2:49        

Who knew it was so hard to get four player signatures to start a guild?  A sign from the universe, perhaps?  Too late, we started a guild!

 

News – 13:05

• Solo Together Guild open – Yes!  But, RANT #1 INCOMING – the long road to 4 signatures
• Loner’s Run, the ST Guild neighborhood open
• Solo Together Community up and running
• Community neighborhood for Horde side houses? Desolate Collective needs only 1 more signature!
• Discord is alive and running at https://discord.gg/N86fhRkDem
• Mini-Mailbag
  • Johnnietips from TB
  • Jibbs from AMR
  • Rak nice comment; R not just a fan, not just a member of that SQ Discord, R and Kael have started up…
• Welcome Ready Check podcast to the community; Weekly show of 2 friends talking WoW and tackling what is going on in game
• Meggoart – 4th Interlude is out at https://interludecomicanthology.carrd.co/ and her WoWKEA YouTube channel is going strong at https://www.youtube.com/@meggoart
• The Jan. 29 WoW Showcase event with the 2026 roadmap

 

“What Have You Done Lately?” – 32:51       

• RANT #2 INCOMING. Short version is yes, I lost all 800,000+ bronze that I collected when Blizz shut down the Remix event earlier than two of the three times is announced.  Me not happy, for sure.
• Pre-patch event nearly done and maybe not the best of these events
• Void Elf DH unlock relatively brief; Devourer DH seems cool, but only doing 1-button rotation
• Catchup experience not useful after a level 70 boost

 

Main Topic:  Grand Tour Actually Announced – 1:05:19

This will be a recurring segment exploring the dungeons and raids of each expansion

 

Grand Tour:  Classic Kalimdor – 1:16:14

The ten dungeons and two raids of Classic on Kalimdor discussed in an overview

 

Raid(s) of the Month – 1:33:33

The Temple and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj are the two raids in Classic Kalimdor.  Are they worth farming?

 

SQ Book Club warm-up:  The Void Between – 1:39:13

The recently published short story written by Alex Acks is a great little story before Midnight arrives

 

SQ Book Club:  Blood Ties – 1:47:24

The latest novel by Christie Golden is a great read, but one you do not have to finish before the launch of Midnight.  Read it now or read it later, but read it.
