Can we settle on how Crosby, Stills and Nash started?
No.
There's no agreement?
No.
Great!
Why do it?
I love it.
If one and looked up sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll...
there would probably be a picture of Led Zeppelin
That's very kind of you.

What's good.
It's Fevir.
Today we're going to talk a bit about the official World of Warcraft classic servers
plus.. a couple of other gaming related topics.
OK.
So I've actually not even made a peep about classic World of Warcraft at all on my channel..
for a few reasons.
Talking about it in a way that isn't...
I can't wait.. hype hype hype... gets you a very weird type of backlash and I 100% think
that it's announcement at last year's Blizzcon was almost certainly a means to make sure
they had something big for people to latch onto from it.
Don't get me wrong, Blizzcons are always pretty cool if you're a fan of Blizzard games.. but
last year's con even with the announcement that they're moving forward with this.. still
ranked pretty low comparatively to past cons.. with the highlight being.. for the horde.
For me what's going to be interesting is seeing how the expectations from the community form
up and then the reaction when it does launch or to any pre-release information since getting
the mmorpg community to agree on anything is nearly impossible let alone think it's
good and a while back there was even that survey passed around asking what people would
want from a classic server and even on simple things the community at large was pretty split..
and I'll link off to one of my favorite mmorpg videos based around this in the description..
but
What I
wanted to touch on today is where is vanilla or classic World of Warcraft - it was announced..
mentioned in a couple of interviews and.. that's it, silence.
And aside from Ashes of Creation - this is the thing I get asked about non-stop as if
I'd know.. which ok most of this channel is mmorpg focused and it's in people's minds
as recently some of the bigger wow private server streamers or content creators quit
or are moving away from it - or certain community run challenge modes being run on the live
servers - or soda just casually saying the word vanilla.. and people seem to be getting
impatient... and to you guys I would say.. we'll probably hear something about it at
the upcoming Blizzcon - but don't hold your breathe for more concrete information until
Ashes of Creation, Pantheon, Camelot Unchained..
FFXIV's next expansion etc... until those games start looking to release in a real way..
with the release of classic WoW timed to undercut them.
There is no reason not to wait.. and in the past..
World of Warcraft expansions have generally released curiously close to competitors.
It's just the nature of beast.
So if you really want to speed up development for classic WoW.. go fund Pantheon.. just
kidding.
Of course.. if and when more information comes out for it - I'll be excited to hear about
it.
This next bit - I wanted to talk about an evolving trend in the youtuber.. streamer..
influencer gaming space.
The partnership or connection with different companies.. and specifically this time round..
with Bless Online and it's emissary program.
So many online, ongoing games have systems where us content creators can apply and be
accepted and be recognized or given some perks in some way.
Depending on the company.. this can be formal recognition for the content creator as a valued
member of the community.. or it can be using the content creator's reach for unpaid advertising..
and every shade in between.
Now more recently.. we've seen the community push forth and remind us.. or to be honest
since most of us have no idea what we're doing.. inform us on regulations and rules for disclosure
and all this stuff - typically it's seen right now around sponsorship.. namely someone being
paid to create something.. but I think with the Bless Emissary program we're seeing a
code of conduct that is more formal and recognizing that even these more casual connections are
something that should be disclosed.
As in this unpaid connection to Bless.. there are lines in there that amount to.. only speak
good of the product and even on your channel.. anything you make is ours and is subject to
review, editting or removal at their discretion, requirement on weekly content quotas.. they
are flying people down to San Fran for am exclusive events .. and most importantly to
us here .. it includes the need to disclose the relationship.
And a whole bunch of other interesting things if you're thinking of applying.. read it.
The entire idea of disclosure is less about money changing hands and more about .. taken
right from the FTC.
The question you need to ask is whether knowing about that gift or incentive or free flight
or exclusive access would affect the weight or credibility for your watchers or readers
towards your recommendation/content/coverage.
If it could, then it should be disclosed.
So Emissaries to Bless or anywhere - where the connection may affect credibility .. you
should be seeing that disclosure at the start of every video or made known throughout a
stream - now content creation is weird because it's not like you can make a video saying..
hey I'm partnered in one video as your disclosure.. then never mention it again because you covered
it.. and it's not like ignoring this is going to have the FTC at your door to punish you
... but the FTC is slowly catching up to digital stuff so it's important to stay on top of
this and the idea is to not mislead, either intentionally or unintentionally.. your audience.
It's one of the reasons I've followed ACG's philosophy of even when I receive a game for
free and cover it - I always spend the money at release and buy a copy myself.
Sometimes so it looks sexy in it's untouched packaging as I tend to only play games I think
I'll like, sometimes given away.. sometimes destroyed in a fit of rage.. and early access
copies are always digital and I tend to actually want a physical thing myself.
This also
is the case with affiliate links and referral links as something that should require the
same sort of accepted disclosure you see for sponsored videos - if they pertain to the
topic or content.. not a quick 5 second, hey use that link if you sign up placed conveniently
at the end of a 10 minute video/ad that most people don't get to anyways.
Some of those affiliate links start generating some serious, serious cash on a per click
rate.. and a cute little trick if you want to see some potential here.. is on a bit.ly
link - which is a common way to hide affiliate links .. if you put a plus behind it .. you'll
get a read out of how many clicks that link got .. in a lot of cases this amounts to a
hell of a lot more money than a typical #sponsored video would make .. and you can bet your bum
.. that's influencing the way people present stuff .. this was really at what was at the
core of the Ashes of Creation referral madness from last year.
The digital space is really changing quickly and there is a larger and larger focus on
influencer marketing and while I don't want to participate and become a marketing arm
for Bless - I do like that they are formalizing what generally is just a casual understanding
with other companies.. and I imagine, and hope, this is going to be an ongoing trend.
There is nothing wrong with selling out or being a spokesperson for something - you just
have to let it be known.
Let's end on a bit of a lighter note -
This week I dug into the snow, with Frostpunk - a city builder that ended up being really
good.
Atmospheric, dark - quite challenging comparatively to other games I've played like it.. and you
guys know I love a good snow level.
It has you take control of a settlement trying to survive after some bad stuff went down
against the harsh elements .. and making choices like should we put the kids to work, do we
turn to faith or martial law, do we preserve what it was to be human.. or do what we must
to survive.
I've just been having so much fun with this game.. and just when I thought I couldn't
like it anymore.. they have robots.
Perfect.
State of Decay 2 went into it's technical alpha a couple days ago and there is now tons
of footage of the game- with a release planned later this month, the 22nd.
State of Decay 2 is a 3rd person, action, survival, zombie shooter.. it's not anything
we haven't heard before but I know a lot of people really enjoyed the first one.. so figure
out if they made enough changes to get you excited for this one..
I am just over zombie games so I'll pass, but I'm just mentioning it.
A week or so back in a video I let on that this year I am going to be revisiting a bunch
of different established MMORPGs and give them an almost updated review.. kind of revisit
them in current year after playing them for some time and not basing an overview video
on reddit posts.. well after more hours and months than I expected - I'm finishing up
the video for Guild Wars 2 .. and man.
I hope you guys like it.. the plan is to mess around in Bless this next month - and take
on Black Desert in meantime and afterwards between now and Battle for Azeroth which I
always go back and play with wifey.. as well as Elder Scrolls Online - luckily for me a
lot of BDO is done afk.
After those I'm not sure .. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.. maybe Mabinogi..
maybe EVE.
I'm going to put one of those surveys in the top - because I want to know if people would
be interested in just the main video .. or a suite .. like, a guide to my class - a closer
look at pvp, a closer look at pve etc.. and while those are just rough ideas - in the
comments .. keeping in mind I'll take the same approach with all the MMORPGs I play
this year - what would you like touched on in more detail.
Not hella specific, but more than just a few sentences... with it's own gameplay footage
etc.
Well.. we did it.
We broke 10 minutes.
Getting better at youtubing.. but, that will do it for me guys.
Until next time, this is Fevir.
Peace.
