THIS is what makes Classic WoW so special.

Just ran City of Dalaran in WoW Forever for the very first time, and I genuinely had one of the best dungeon experiences I’ve had in a long time.

I went in completely blind. Didn’t know the layout, didn’t know where half the quests were, and just wanted to make sure I got everything done.

Ended up with an absolutely awesome group, especially our Resto Shaman healer.

This guy took the time to show me where to go, helped me pick up all the quests, explained how to complete them, and basically guided me through the entire dungeon. Never once made me feel like I was slowing everyone down or wasting their time.

We finished every single quest, I gained almost an entire level, and I walked out feeling like I’d actually been on an adventure with other players instead of just running through another dungeon.

And honestly, the XP and rewards weren’t even the best part.

It was the people.

In a game where everyone seems to be rushing toward level 60, it’s genuinely refreshing to meet players who are willing to slow down, help someone experience something for the first time, and just enjoy the game together.

That Resto Shaman probably thought he was just helping some random Warrior finish his quests. But he genuinely made my night.

This is the Classic WoW experience I fell in love with.

More of this, please.

Should the moat in undercity act like a Lazy River?

@OuchmouseVT @QuestTheLine I kind of like these ideas.

[Victor Evans @Victorevans2026]

One of the greatest things about WoW Forever is that you can waste 4 HOURS doing absolutely NOTHING and somehow have the best gaming session of your life.

Last night I logged in with one goal: gain two levels.

Instead, I spent 45 minutes fishing, got distracted by a mining node, followed a random player into a cave, helped him finish a quest I didn’t even have, got lost trying to find my way out, and somehow ended up on the other side of the zone killing mobs for a green item worth 40 silver.

Four hours later, I had gained half a level, made almost no gold, and accomplished absolutely nothing I originally planned.

And I genuinely had more fun than I have in YEARS playing an MMO.

That’s something modern gaming has almost completely lost.

Not everything needs to be optimized. Not every hour needs to be productive. Sometimes getting completely sidetracked IS the adventure.

WoW Forever is at its absolute best when you forget what you logged in to do.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut (1922 – 2007) was the only one to respond - and his response is magnificent:

“Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:
I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.

What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.

Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.

Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?

Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash receptacals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.

God bless you all!"

WoW Forever PvP will be balanced around Battlegrounds.

The PvP server layer manipulation tech is wild.

Turns out all you've gotta do to stream-snipe someone is just message players on their layer and you'll phase into them.

As I said in my video before launch. I really don't understand what the point of the PvP servers when layering undermines the initial premise.

I'd rather WoW just have dedicated PvP zones with incentives and/or PvP objectives in PvE zones.

[HJY @Tyrgrimm8653]

@QuestTheLine Kinda dumb to disincentivise dungeons so that they don't "empty out the world" then go and manually "empty out the world". I am not part of the increase dungeon xp crowd either. Just feels like you don't know what game you are trying to make.

[Ryan @MarsResident027]

@QuestTheLine I’m enjoying playing but I honestly miss servers. Having a real community was incredible. This layering and artificial population adjustments is just not right.

[HJY @Tyrgrimm8653]

@Witta1991 @QuestTheLine Yes. That people could early name reserve and create the locked in faction imbalance then was the fuckup.

[tea (🍯) @manabunspls]

I’m really enjoying Forever, but quest drops make leveling with friends feel punishing. In an MMO, playing with friends should feel rewarding, not like you’re slowing each other down. 🫩

[Fab @NotFabTV]

wow forever doesnt need shared mob tags but it needs shared quests drops within your party

the drop rate for the majority of collect quests in wow forever is already abysmal as is. i spent an hour looking for 15 centaur ears yesterday. Which is totally fine, lets grind. But it discourages group play by requiring double the amount of time spent on the same quests. we need shared quest drops within the party.

Padme’s medical droid: She just lost the will to live.

Me (there for some reason): Wait, what? That’s not a thing.

Droid: Good catch—You’re right, my first diagnosis of “lost her will to live” was incorrect. She actually had a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

@jamirblanco Fantastic work!!!

[World of Warcraft @Warcraft]

@tomkektv Well, now we know what that a.) Azeroth is actually flat and b.) Earth is not.
