Raid Warning Episode #15
Summary: This week we cover the launch of the new Faction Changing service and give you an idea of what you have to look forward to, and what the limitations just may be. Also in this week's cast, Koralon the Flame Watcher goes live in Wintergrasp, Trial of the Grand Crusader gets rocked and we have new firsts! Oh... did I mention that we announce the winner of the World of Matticus vs Raid Warning Contest? Yeah, that's in there too. You should probably just give it a listen starting now...
