Episode 101 of the Starting Zone is another #whyIwow interview! This time with a woman of many names, The Godmother, Queen of Faffing, but most notably Alt from Alternative Chat Blog and Podcast and the Extended Maintenance Podcast. We talk about her time playing world of warcraft and why she has done so non stop since nearly the beginning! Great discussion, and Mick had a lot of fun interviewing her.

This week on the Starting Zone, Jesse and Mick are re-united once again for the 100th Episode! Can you believe it? They can't! This week they discuss Patch 6.1 of Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard partnering with Dark Horse Comics to release a Comic Book, a super duper helpful tip on how to maximize your Follower Missions, and last but not least a warm and wonderful trip down memory lane. They revisit past episodes and share what it has been like podcasting world of warcraft for over six years! They also gave out a ton of prizes to the listeners, because the show is nothing without them! Thank You!
