Matt, Joe, and Liz were joined by Cory this week, and all four were more than ready to chat about Player Housing inWoW, which we recently got to see for the first time. There are still a lot of question marks after this first overview, but the team is excited about the information we do have, from Neighborhoods to decor (like a tower of bones, for instance!) to lack of repo men poised to take your house away if you default on your wizard mortgage.

Luckily for you, we're here to help you navigate it all. Even the upcoming content patch, with three different Goblin cartels to back. And Delve changes. And Diablo 4 changes

The discussion starts with WoWnews, especially the three-kids-in-a-trenchcoat that is Classic, and how it’s once again time to respect your Elders with the Lunar Festival returning this week.

We’d say it was also “in the snow” but Joe rather
