This one comes from the heart. Over the years that we have produced The Starting Zone, WoWinsider.com has been an incredible resource for our show. In fact, many of our early guests (Matt Low, Joe Perez, etc.) were class columnists for the site. When researching the show’s news section, the Breaking Wind, a stop by WoWinsider was obligtory, obvious, comforting. However, sadly, that has come to an end.
If you did not already know, the site is being shuttered. And while we know all things come to an end, one cannot help but be disappointed at that news. It is a bitter pill to swallow that WoWinsider, which played an important art in informing and growing the world of warcraft community is going to say good bye.
How many of us content creators were featurd on WoWinsider in one way or another? How many people were given their first opportunity at some big views on their blog or youtube channel or podcast because they were linked on WoWinsider.com? Probably quite a few.
If you read Alex Zeibert’s full post, apparently SOMETHING will rise from the ashes on February 3rd, 2015. We will have to wait and see what that would be, but for now we know that this wonderful community of writers and content creators will come to an end.
On Behalf of our humble and small staff her at The Starting Zone, we thank you all so much for your writing, your insight and your humor over the years. We wish you all the very best of luck. Talent always transcends adversity.
