This week, we discuss Adarel’s article about why Boss Drops are a good idea, we talk about the Beta Stress Test, the 3rd and 4th parts of the Developer Diary on instances, and the new Class Changes Beta Journals. We also have a Did You Know for new listeners who are looking to get into the game when it goes Free to Play, a segment from the guys over at Through the Palantir and, of course, a visit to your two favorite hobbits.

To round out the show, we discuss a listener email sent in by Hudd.

See you in-game!
