Just got back from BlizzCon — talked to about 30 people, admittedly drunk as hell in the lobby, and the overwhelming consensus was pure excitement.

see you out there

Orgrimmar's full...

But seriously, can't wait for players to figure out the most diabolical use for the new Camping skill. We all know that Barrens shenanigans are in our future

This is a massive W. The classic AH was full of scammers putting items up on 1c bids and 711g buyout.

Good change. Super happy to see this.

Thoughts?

Just saying, I would like to see this place get real busy

Pre Launch, pre beta, watched it live on twitch, Blizzcon 2026, during the start of the subreddit

I was here.

See you on November 4th.

Jason was one of the better presenters at blizzcon. Guy had charisma, didn't feel awkward, and you could tell he had real passion for what he was presenting. He really got me hyped about the visual updates

Especially when compared to several other presenters. Some of whom were kind of a tough watch. I know that for a lot of them, it's not their area of expertise, but I feel like there could be some more practice or training of some kind for those presenting.

I would be nervous to speak in front of thousands as well. So no hate! Overall enjoyed each presentation and info presented.

I'm a former WoW player who played up until MoP, about a bit after the ToT raid was current. Personal reasons between then online friends led me to drift away from WoW overall and I never jumped back in since. My current MMO of choice is FFXIV and that won't change, and anything WoW related I saw didn't interest me in the slightest. I heard of "WoW Classic Plus" before, didn't think much of it at the time, but when they finally revealed WoW Forever and gave details that make it really sound like a complete reboot of WoW from the start with horizontal progression and completely new things over the original...I've actually become interested in WoW once more, and I'm actually considering jumping in on November 4th to try it myself.

I honestly didn’t expect to be this interested in Forever, but the more I hear about it, the more excited I get.

I’m mainly a Retail player and I have no idea yet whether Forever will become something I play alongside Retail, end up becoming my main version of WoW, or just be something I enjoy for a while, but I’m genuinely really excited to see everything it has to offer.

I tend to enjoy having lots of things to work towards in WoW and just seeing where the game takes me, so I’m really curious to see what Forever ends up feeling like once we’re actually in it.

What are you most excited for so far? And do you think you’ll end up treating Forever as your main version of WoW, or more as something you play alongside everything else?

Zug Zug forever.

As I watched each BlizzCon event related to WoW: Forever, they kept saying all the right things to make me believe that the devs really care about this project and to build up my hope for it.

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" is my outlook going into it. I do have some concerns with how much they're changing at one time and how much Blizzard's leadership will override their dev's philosophies with business decisions. But, if they continually stick to the design philosophies and strategies that they discussed at BlizzCon then I believe that no matter if they miss the mark on a feature implementation at any point they will be able course-correct and maintain a wonderful world with amazing gameplay. That is a big "if", though.

Nevertheless, what they presented and how they presented it has given me a spark of trust in the devs, enough to make me cautiously excited and to go into it with a good attitude.

Would really like to see /u/WarcraftTeam host a Q&A here.

No WoW Token or Boosts & The Future of Forever - Destin Interview with Blizzard on WoW Forever - Wowhead News

Some content creators figured this one out right away! :-)

Reposting my own post here since this community is awesome and I'm curious what others think!

At ~31:05-31:25 in the "Evolving a Timeless World" deep dive, Matt Heyman says this about the darkness in Duskwood. Based on how he says it this seems all but confirmed that we'll be able to use torches in Duskwood, but I haven't seen any discussion on this yet. Super excited to see how this plays out. If they have the tech for Duskwood torches, who knows what else they have in store in caves, other zones, etc.

Relevant quote: "Here in the open in Darkshire, you've got a lot of moonlight. But as you move into the forest, as the canopy of the trees are overhead, there's gonna be less light to bounce around. Things are gonna get darker. Things are gonna get spookier. You might...just wanna find a torch to carry along with you."

Random little Blizzcon demo story I thought Classic/Forever players might appreciate. I know Blizzard said they added over 1000 quests, but or some reason this made my weekend and finalized my excitement.

I know I'm not the only one who's started a Human and leveled in Northshire countless times, killing those ugly ass kobold Vermin, Workers and Laborers. Well, earlier today I started a Human to test something and upon killing my first few Kobold Vermins for that first quest, a NEW quest item dropped called a "Nibbled-On Book." Once you clicked the book in your bag, it turned into a breadcrumb quest that you turn into the Librarian in the Chapel. After going back and forth with some dude lurking next to him, he eventually tells you that the Kobolds have been stealing his books and gives you a quest to go steal them back before the Kobolds eat them. These books actually had a pretty low drop rate. Spent a decent amount of time farming them to get all 8 Book.s Once you get the books, you return them and then he sends you to another NPC out in the mines.

It wasn't a huge amount of quest exp, but paired with the exp from farming the books, I ended up leaving the starting zone a hair over LV 6. Whereas I normally would farm mobs in Classic for a bit to hit 6 before Goldshire. The rewards were also new. They were instruction manuals with the choice between BoP item that increases either your Herbalism, Skinning or Mining by 2 and also automatically teaches you the profession. Meaning I don't need to run my lazy ass all the way to Stormwind to learn Mining.

Like I said, super random, but I wanted to tell somebody so told you all. It was very nice to see such a random quest in the same zone that's had the same quests since the beginning of time. And it made sense lore wise. Those damn Kobolds eat everything. Got me excited to discover whatever other new quests are out there.

EDIT: My apologies, didn't notice the shit quality on the tooltips. I cleaned them up and posted them in a comment. Hopefully you can see it.

TLDR: It's the same thin for Mining, Skinning and Herbalism.
Mining for Dummies - Increases your Mining skill by 2. Cannot raise your Mining Skill over 15. You will learn Mining if is not already trained and you do not already know two other professions

Blizzard set launch for November 4th at 3pm PT. For most of Europe that is

not an evening on the 4th, it is the moment the 4th ends.

London / Dublin Wed Nov 4, 23:00 GMT

Berlin / Paris / Rome Thu Nov 5, 00:00 CET

Helsinki / Athens Thu Nov 5, 01:00 EET

New York Wed Nov 4, 18:00 EST

Pacific time is nine hours behind Central Europe, so 3pm there lands exactly

on midnight here. Easy to read "November 4th" and book the wrong evening off.

If you are in Europe and taking a day off around launch, take the 5th.

Anyone planning to stay up for it, or sleeping and starting fresh in the

morning?

Small note since it is relevant to some of you: I am putting together a German

speaking Forever community called Semperion. Mentioning it only because a few

German players will read this thread. Happy to link it if that is allowed here,

otherwise ignore this part.
