It's just one of those one of the one of the Paths and stories that you could tell about Blizzard's development of World of Warcraft is is over time They've just been trying to tear down barriers and and and if the game is better now than it's ever been in that regard the barrier to entry and the barriers and preventing people from playing together are as few and as low as they've ever been.

And it's great.

And it's great.

And I'm probably going to, for the sake of this show at first, I'm going to jump in and check out Classic and see what's going on and, you know, give it its due. I've never had really a compelling reason to try it out because it, for me anyway, I mean, there's plenty of compelling reasons for people to try it out, but...

I'm going to get in there and have some firsthand experience to try to talk about it.

It's funny that you forgot about that because this is like one of the big selling features of this expansion.

I don't think it's a small thing at all, Scott. I think it's a really big thing, and this war band's idea is, and just, I don't know, maybe you... have no idea what warbands are.

I don't think it's a small thing at all, Scott. I think it's a really big thing, and this war band's idea is, and just, I don't know, maybe you... have no idea what warbands are.

Very simply and quickly, it's just that now all of your... It's sort of like the crystallization of something that they've been saying, Blizzard has been saying in World of Warcraft for many, many years, which is the whole ethos of bring the player, not the class. And so this is like them taking that and just really going hard on it. And so they've said, you know what? Now you're not your...

your protection paladin you're not your beast master hunter you are your entire collection you are you you're your entire collection of characters and play and that you want to play at any given point in time and so to to enable that we're going to make it so that all all your characters share transmog they share achievements they share currencies they share reputations they share all kinds of stuff um and you can just pick whatever you feel like playing today

And they want to make that as easy as possible. Now, how easy it's going to be in implementation, we're going to find out. So far, it's been pretty good. Uh, but, um, but that's what they're doing. And so I don't think it's a small thing at all. Remember we were just talking about how they have all these like tall global filters on your map.
