## Resource

On this episode of Azeroth Morning Radio, we discuss how Blizzard can improve the new player experience in World of Warcraft, break down everything coming in Patch 12.0.7: Revelations, and explore why WoW remains one of the most influential games ever made. Plus, we revisit the legendary Corrupted Blood Incident, the accidental in-game pandemic that became so famous it caught the attention of real-world epidemiologists and the CDC.
