Happy Monday Folks,
And you know what that means; another Monday means another Multiverse! We’re up to Episode 12 now and we brought a guest along to join the fun. This week Jon (Maxivik) of the Drunken Legacy guild joined us to talk about raiding. As a long time member and officer in a leading WoW guild, he knows his stuff and it shows in the discussion. Thanks Jon, for joining us. You’re welcome back any time.
That’s not all though. Since we took a week off, we got to save up on some of the biggest news stories from the time in between. We talk about Derek Smart and Alganon, EA an SW:TOR, and Bill Roper stepping down from Champions. Was he made to step down or was it time for him to move on?
Thanks again for joining us. If you get a moment, we encourage you to participate in the show by dropping us an email or leaving a comment below. And don’t forget how much we love 5-star reviews on iTunes! They melt my pudding. Seriously.

Hey Folks,
We’re over our first big hump and coming back to you with Episode #11 of The Multiverse: MMO Radio. See that? I used our tag line. I always find using tag lines a little awkward, don’t you? Ah well.
This week, we jump in and talk about buying gold, alternative advancement, and why quest hubs are the devil (Ferrel’s words, not mine!). It was a good show and we were joined again by the good folks of Drunken Legacy in the chat room.
10 points to whoever can tell me where the sound bytes in the beginning of the show come from!
If you missed the show this time, be sure to join us next week as we stream live. You can join us every Friday at 7PM Eastern, in chat too. Or, if you prefer, use the hash tag #multiverse on Twitter and we can take your comments that way.
Next week, we’ll be joined by Maxivik from Drunken Legacy to talk raiding: past, present, and future.
Without further adieu, here are this week’s notes:

Hi Everyone,

The manchild
For your listening pleasure, we give you the day late Episode 5 of The Multiverse. We had a lot of fun recording this one but we went about it a little bit differently. Rather than highly editing everything, we approached it like we were live. Behind the scenes, these episodes usually take me about three hours to produce. This is our effort to cut that down to about an hour, so please let me know what you think and which way you prefer the show. I think it came out good.
Be sure to tune in after the ending music for a couple of bonus segments. During the first we talk about the Dante’s Inferno demo (well, to be fair, it’s mostly me gushing and trying to convince Ferrel to try it, but some funny stuff comes out of it). Second, we give you a sneak peak into what happens between the segments…
Oh, and about the title… well, you’ll have to listen to the bonus parts to get that, I guess.
