It occurred to me today that I said:

“Butt groove”
“Trust me, bro”
“Team Finger Guns” (with a finger guns pew pew hand motion)

…all on stage at blizzcon.

Not sure how to feel about any of that. I guess this is what happens when I don’t have a teleprompter to help me keep my shit together!

Been seeing a lot of comments on the balance on the pvp rulesets today. Important thread to check out regarding that: https://t.co/z04yy74rL6

This bit posted later on in the replies regarding trial accounts is also extra important as there is a ton of misinformation flying around about this:
https://t.co/YSJAtIXLUT
"After significant investigation there is no evidence that trial characters had any impact at all. When we say 55/45, we are looking at the active logged-in population across all levels over a specific period of time."

Additionally, we made some adjustments via hotfix today to adjust the population targets of certain zones to make many of them feel less congested, as well as some tweaks and fixes to the population balance per zone/per layer.

Things are looking really solid at the ruleset level, and we are dialing in outliers quickly. Appreciate all the comments about it!

@UhhNadda I'd like to see him try.

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

I sat here trying to write something poignant about this but I think for now I'll just say:

Thank you for being a part of this with us.

...and now let's go play some World of Warcraft: Forever!

[World of Warcraft @Warcraft]

Congratulations everyone, you made HISTORY!

WoW: Forever has achieved:

🔹The biggest launch in WoW history by peak concurrent players
🔹The highest number of returning players in WoW history

This is all because of you, the players. From all of us, THANK YOU!

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

Long day but great day today!

A few things to catch folks up on:

1. Transports - we had some issues with the service that manages transports like boats and zeppelins. As a temp fix we spawned some portals to get us through the night. We’ll have a proper fix in the morning and the portals will be removed.

2. Layer populations - we are aware some zones feel more empty than they should. Tomorrow we’ll be tweaking some numbers to make things feel more lively. Sit tight!

Thanks for everyone making this a great, super smooth launch! I’m going to head home and “go to sleep” now. Yep, sleeping. Totally not playing WoW Forever until 3am. Nope.

It’s that time of the week! Podcast day!

@Psybear_tv Good! 🍻🥨

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

@JenEricLive Shoutout to Eric for the sweet beta image I used above here. Only took me 10 hours to use it (Sorry bud, I was really, really busy today!)

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

@Vondalv At this point, I think I would if I could. I just want it out already :)

(Mostly because I want to start leveling for real already!)

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

Had a really busy day today so I'm late posting this, but just wanted to say, thanks for playing the beta to all those who did. These kinds of things present us with so many opportunities to tune our systems, fix bugs, observe behavior that we can't replicate internally, and generally help ready the game for our launch.

Development on MMOs is never over. We are never "done". However, things like this beta help get us closer to a healthy starting point on November 4th. So, thank you everyone for playing with us.

See you on November 4th!

@Zoffy777 Are you sure you aren't experiencing early plague symptoms? I saw a group of fine, upstanding Lordaeron Knights carrying torches outside the city that you can report your symptoms to.

(Jokes aside we are aware and I believe we already have a fix lined up for launch)

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

@InurathzzZ Relatable!

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

We are going to be talking about the various bits of new tech at work in WoW: Forever next week in the podcast, let Ana and I know if you have any topics you’d like us to cover!

(Yes we will be talking about layering and various fixes and improvements we have planned there, for sure!)

[Ana Resendez @TruskisPro]

What sorts of questions would you like to see answered about tech in WoW Forever?

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

And it’s so so so good.

[Matt Heyman @MatthewHeyman]

Wanted to go big with snow! Lots of variation in intensity and yes, full on, whiteout blizzards!

I am sooo excited for you all to experience it. Working on the weather has been so much fun and i hope it adds to your immersion.

Shout out again to our amazing social team for the awesome video and our sound team for the chilling wind ambiance 🥶🥶
