Not my interview, but I wanted to make you all aware that Brad will be appearing on the Countdown to Classic podcast this Thursday to talk about the future of the MMO genre, Classic Wow, and how it all relates to Pantheon.
Here is the reddit post where I caught wind of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PantheonMMO/comments/cap8a0/brad_mcquaid_interview_questions/?st=jxuvbl9j&sh=5d4796f6 The host is taking questions in that thread if you want a chance to have your questions asked. He didn't say what time it would be, but I'll keep an eye on it and keep you all up to date so you can tune in live! Although it seems like he posts replays on YouTube after anyway (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4mTG9XXtKdOJW6tYg7jEkA) It doesn't seem likely to be a very in-depth interview and instead cover some more broad topics. But regardless, if we do manage to get some good info out of it, I'll be sure to spread that around afterward as well of course!
UPDATE: From the host: The interview will be recorded Thursday at 1pm PDT but will be done offline. It will be published on Wednesday, July 17. The show is on Spotify/Apple podcasts etc. and it’ll also be on the website: https://countdowntoclassic.com/ as well as on the Pantheon subreddit.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the interview.
Oh published same day as the news letter? Why? Break this good stuff up more often and spread the crumbs out to your starving community.
Maybe it's meant to specifically coincide with the newsletter? Perhaps Brad is dropping an info bomb that will sync up with something talked about/revealed in the newsletter - thus delayed until the 17th. #PantheonNostradamus

Thanks for the info, only a little longer till the newsletter and Brad interview.
Keno Monster said:Why can't we get this info from VR?
I dont think the interview is largely about Pantheon as much as it is the MMO genre and its development/direction etc. and the effect classic WoW will have on other games including Pantheon. The original post says "I’ll be speaking with Brad McQuaid about his take on the future of MMO’s and Pantheon, and what effect Classic could have on the genre moving forward."
WarKnight said:Sounds like they are planning for just one more pre alpha.
Yeah sounded like that to me too, so maybe PA5 then Alpha. I was expecting PA6 as well in all honesty but if they feel confident in what they've done I guess its time to roll out Alpha. Maybe Alpha Q1 2020, I think PA5 will be in November through to december.
