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 believe this is the first-ever documentary about nuclear fusion. It was produced in 1958 just as Project Sherwood was declassified. Now I'm happy to make it available online for the first time ever. Please enjoy!

Ok, WTAF is going on here?
Let's get some eyes on this. 👀
Note her profile, which reads about McGonigal, “I’m the one who saw everything. He would laugh about what they did to George Papadoplous, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump.” ~ @AllisonGuerrier

Mistress of Ex-FBI Special Agent Who Investigated Trump-Russia Collusion Found Dead in Her Florida Home After Flurry of Mysterious X Posts
“I turned in two time convicted traitor, former head of Counterintelligence for FBI, Charles McGonigal. I’ve been sick with illnesses and injuries for 8 years.”
Guerriero posted 75 X posts last Thursday before she was found dead in her home later that night.
🚨 Hollywood screenwriter C. Jay Cox, known for Sweet Home Alabama, was reportedly confronted by streamer Vitaly in a sting operation after allegedly entering a home believing a boy was 15.
The mainstream media has not widely reported on the incident.
JBS, the world's biggest meat producer, in which BlackRock has a $334 million stake.
This isn't just a foreign company shipping meat into America. JBS has massive U.S.-based production. In 2025, its North American beef division generated $28.1 billion, while its U.S. pork division generated another $8.4 billion. JBS also owns about 82% of Pilgrim's Pride, one of America's dominant chicken producers.
Stop eating this s***, look at what they're doing!
Stop giving your children candy that comes from these same places.
THIS is why Moms Across America tests the food supply.
When we first tested Banza pasta, we found the highest levels of glyphosate ever reported in our lab. We published the results, consumers spoke up and Banza took action.
Now, our latest independent testing shows glyphosate levels in Banza pasta have dropped more than 543X, to nearly non-detectable levels. After cooking, the highest-testing sample came back non-detectable.
This is HUGE.
It proves something we have been saying for years: Companies CAN make cleaner food when consumers demand it.
Independent testing works. Transparency works. Moms speaking up works.
But testing food is expensive. We rely on donations from people like YOU to continue testing the foods our families eat, exposing concerning contaminants and pushing companies to do better.
❤️Please donate today so we can test MORE products, hold MORE companies accountable and create MORE change.
American says this is his last time ever going to the Waffle House
The prices have increased so much he simply can’t afford it anymore. The All Star Special is priced at $22.20 on sale for $16.50
In 2016 this exact same meal at Waffle House only cost $6.89 and in 2004 it was only $4.99
These new prices far outpace inflation and are just theft. Stop going and let them go bankrupt
This just shows everyone what "crimes" police actually care about.
This Flock camera was reportedly cut down on Friday and police immediately responded WITH A FORENSICS TEAM 🤨
For reference, when someone tried to break into my house (video is up on my channel), the police laughed when asked if they were going to look for finger prints or to photograph the would be criminals' foot prints.
Someone tries to break in to an average citizens house and potentially kill them - no forensics team.
Someone cuts down a 3'' pole on the side of the road endangering literally no one - forensics team with every resource tax payer dollars can be used for immediately 🤡
Plan accordingly...

Something shifted in me in the past couple years since I hit 30 and I believe a lot of Millenials are seeing this shift as well.
I have done everything I was ever told that would make me successful.
I busted my ass and worked my way up the ladder (hell, I make more money than 95% of others in this country)
I became dependable.
I built a life that looks good on paper.
But now I am sitting here...in my 30s thinking that I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't want the same version of success that my parents and grandparents thought I needed.
I still want money (duh)
I still want ambition.
But mainly, I want time.
Slow mornings.
Random spur of the moment trips away with my family.
I don't want to spend my whole life recovering from work on a Saturday and then preparing for work on a Sunday.
Not because I am lazy. I am the least lazy person you will ever meet.
Not because I hate work.
But because I have finally realized that there has to be more to life than the version of success I was sold as a kid.
Am I the only one feeling this way right now?
