Big Announcement! The Alliance has just finalized plans to transform this formerly useless piece of the Kalimdor desert into a beautiful new data center.
Named after Alliance patriot Aedelas Blackmoore, this data center will grant the entirety of civilized Azeroth access to infinite computing with absolutely no wasted space.
The acrid smoke and constant high-pitched 130 decibel droning sound can hardly been seen or heard from Stormwind or Ironforge, and local wildlife is already being lovingly relocated to Hillsbrad's own Durnholde Keep.
And don't worry about water consumption, either. We've struck a deal with the Steamwheedle Cartel giving us complete ownership of the Echo Isles' entire water supply. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue developing tomorrow's Azeroth, today.
@notreallymaddy You're just glossing over the bit at the end I guess.
"That being said, my hope is that Forever will pull in as many people as possible, whether you are a retail gamer, a classic gamer, someone who hasn't played in years, or even a new player."
Ya know that LFR? I don't like the fact it even exists. I think it was a huge mistake.
You know what else? I understand THE AUDIENCE for retail is mostly behind LFR which is why I never ask Blizzard to remove it.
It would do nothing but rile people up for no reason.
@Abruek1@sandkiste_gg It's meant for whoever finds value in the experience.
We're not saying retail players are not welcome. It's retail design philosophy that is getting the pushback.
@MercifulEmma The "a game for everyone is a game for no one" does not work in this case because we all know casuals are the bulk of subscribers and if Blizzard does not see a good enough player base on Forever why would they continue development on it instead of consolidation.
OF COURSE Blizz isn't going to literally say "go play retail" or "this isn't for you."
They will instead talk about "classic" and "classic players" a lot, which they do.
It's beyond obvious which group Forever was made for and anyone arguing otherwise is just being disingenuous
