To the people defending this change or rationalizing it: Where is your joy? What happened to your sense for whimsy?

An Undead Paladin should absolutely be able to have a little humanoid during their bubble, as a treat.

[Sara McGee for Texas HD 132 @SaraForTexLege]

I need people to remember that Greg Abbott has the sole power to call legislative special sessions.

He called FOUR in 2023 to try to ram through unpopular school vouchers.

He called TWO in 2025 to force redistricting at Trump’s request.

He has called ZERO to address rapid and unregulated data center growth or property tax relief.

Vote wisely.

I'm seeing a lot of discourse about who WoW Forever is being made for and while I cannot speak for anyone else on the team I can speak for myself. I am making WoW forever for the classic gamer and for the millions of people who have had their accounts lapse over the years because they were not satisfied with changes that were made to the game. Whether those changes were to the art style, the story, social aspects, game design, or changes to their favorite class.

I did not spend the last year of my life relearning and mastering how to do things like we did it 20+ years ago for retail players. I could have taken it easy and just kept doing things like I had done for the past 8 years on retail...because I was much more familiar with it and it actually takes a lot less time to do (height maps on textures do a ton of heavy lifting). Because the reality is that the majority of retail players wouldn't care and would probably actually prefer it. But I felt I had a duty to uphold an artistic vision and integrity that millions of people expect from us. But not just for our players, but for my co-workers past and present who worked on it over 20 years ago. If I could not create something that resembled their work then I failed not only them...but myself.

Please do not take this as me throwing any shade at retail players or the retail team because I am one myself...but I wanted to make Forever as authentic of a Vanilla experience as possible. This involves making decisions wildly different than retail. It means holding the line against changes that create a domino affect down the road. It means keeping friction and inconveniences in the game. It means finding friends and forming groups with strangers and being social!! Because WoWs social aspects have always been the pillar of the game and over the years it has slowly been chiseled away at with changes that allow you play alone.

Since the day I started working on the Riverglades I have lived by three sayings.

"Convenience is the death of the journey."

"If you're making a game for everyone then you're making it for no one."

"Every change we make incurs a debt to the authenticity of the game and sooner or later that debt will be paid."

These are my core beliefs and I had a specific group of people I was targeting with my work. These beliefs cannot be shaken and I will try to hold the line against anything that goes against them and will continue to pester the team about things that feel out of place.

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. I hope you can all remember what made this game so special in the first place and that starts with understanding why we are so passionate about keeping it authentic.

I think the big thing a few people are missing about WoW Forever is that it is meant to force you to slow down.

I've seen folks complain "I have a life now. I have kids. Responsibilities. A job. I can't devote hours to playing this anymore."

That's okay! You ARE the target audience. This game is not meant for you to rush your way to max level. It's not meant for you to have to commit hours upon hours a day to "keep up".

It's meant to be the warm bath you slip into at the end of the day, where you just relax, take your time, enjoy the moment and hope that time slows down, for just a little bit.

A lot of the more "vanilla" era pain points that aren't getting QoL changes are absolutely intentional. Mob tagging is the way it is because they want you to find people in that area and group up for a bit, to work together, even if no words are shared. Meeting stones don't summon because they're meant to be a place to gather and find groups, not a way to speed things up. Fast transport between major cities may not exist because getting you out, in the world, to run by other players and interact with them is the intention.

It's meant to feel slow. It's meant to feel big again. You're meant to melt into that world, find those people, be kind to eachother, relax with eachother, to pace yourself, and enjoy your time.

Somewhere, as the modern era changed over these last 20 years, we shifted to prizing "making progress in the game" over "immersing yourself in the world and community". And as every QoL patch rolled in, the game became easier, but faster paced. We traded that slow life for one that required you to rush rush rush through everything, where any one slip in efficiency is mocked and punished by the community. It's time we re-learn to slow down. Life does not have to be constantly streamlined and fast-paced. WoW does not have to be constantly streamline and fast-paced.

There is no race. There is no rush. Play what you can play and enjoy your time here. Build a community. Commit an act of kindness. Help someone you see struggling.

So what, if you can only play an hour a day?

The world is there, and it's waiting for you. Enjoy your hour well spent. <3

Thanks, @AggrendWoW and the entire @Warcraft team, for breathing life back into the world. May those life-winds blow ever eternal, and I cannot wait to see where they take us.

Friendly reminder:

You are not the Champion of Azeroth. You are not the Maw Walker or any of that BS.

You are just a random adventurer. A mercenary for hire.

Don't look up builds, guides or meta. Go in blind. Make your own choices even if you make a mistake. Just be yourself.

Notice that it’s all about the party losing and about Trump. It’s actually not about US citizens who are struggling to put food on the table or can’t fill their tanks up with gas or losing their healthcare.

They don’t care about helping Americans. They care about power.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am.

I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools.

I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Because of course they did.
