This week Matt and Wyn from World of Matticus endure hardships, betrayals and silly fart jokes to spend time with us for TNB’s second live show! Before the rest of the notes, I would like to extend a huge thanks you to Wyn and Matt for participating in our little experiment and to everyone in the chat room Friday night. You guys are what make this worthwhile.  All of you rock! General News Headlines from mmo-champion New beta build Premade toons -a mistake!  A new server will be available for pre-made toons 60-70 xp leveling increase will be added with 3.0.2 PTR wiped..no release date yet for the bridge patch Hot Topics from the Nether! Inadra Shaman of the Earthen Ring.Thanks to Nibuca from Mystic Chicanery, I was introduced to this 20 min story, voice acted (with a fantastic accented) by Phaedriaveco, whom I assume is the author.  This piece, called Inadra, Shaman of the Earthen Ring is unbelievable.  If you ever scoffed at roleplayers or writers of fanfiction, go and listen and have your opinion reversed.

Larisa from The Pink Pigtail Inn offers a great post talking about the how the greek method of classic rhetoric which you should use your Ethos, Pathos and Logos, can show you why you like certain WoW blogs over others. Disabled Players and WoW: Dwarfpriest wrote a powerful and well-documented article on the how the disabled player is represented by Blizzard and asks, should there be more done? Beta! Beta and Beta! Matt and Wyn, poor souls, were gracious enough to endure our silly questions and answered questions from the chat.  Also, if you are interested on learning more about Arthas’ backstory and never played Warcraft prior to the MMO, here is a great series you can check out.
