This week the guys talk about Bizzcon, changes to the Exalted title, Blizzard’s new MMO, getting hitched in Stormwind, and one certain host gets a little too tipsy while keeping the show on it’s usual tangent-filled course.

NEWS:
Blizzard Reverts “The Exalted” Title Change
The Exalted change now back down to 40, (was bumped to 50 after cata launch). Those who had the title stripped from them will now have it back. According to Bashiok’s post, this may have also been what spurred last week’s post about threats.

“Over the past couple days we’ve handed out innumerable suspensions to people who were unable to stay within the forum code of conduct while posting about this change. We of course understand passions can run hot, but some of the violations were extreme enough to remove people’s posting privileges permanently. “
Looking for Guild Feature In The Works?
Nethaera post:
We would still like to add a Looking for Guild feature within the game at some point in the future. More than that, I couldn’t tell you as of yet. We’ll keep you up to date on developments though once we get closer to making such a thing a reality
Twitter Topic: What kind of features would you like to see in a built-in Looking for Guild tool?
Leetsauced: chick to dude ratio should be included
Novytech: bosses downed::Raid Days/Times::And some customizable description (similar to GInfo)
Frandierty: The ability to see their progress in raids, level of the guild, and a space to allow guilds to place the purpose of their guild
VertigoFox: Guild descriptions. Last thing I want is to accidently join a Japanese schoolgirl fantasy RP guild (again).
Pantysnawed: it would however be nice to see a blizzard sponsored guild hosting site in order to organize and support guilds betterIt is much too easy to misrepresent yourself.
TwizzleFE an icon that shows the player has an authenticator on their account. Maybe info on how many hours per week the applicant plays?

5 Star iTunes Canada review by TwiggyRothe
Beer and WoW? Yes please.
I started off listening to the show early on, and made sure i downloaded it everytime it was updated after the Veronica Belmont episode. Good laughs, good beer, odd banter. Great podcast.
