FAQ

Q: What exactly is World of Warcraft Forever? A: It's an alternate-history version of Vanilla WoW where the original dev team stayed in Azeroth instead of opening the Dark Portal, adding new quests, loot, and trades while keeping the Classic feel.

Q: Do I need to have played WoW Classic to enjoy Forever? A: No. Blizzard designed it to be approachable for new players while still feeling familiar to Classic veterans, so anyone can jump in.

Q: Will Forever have modern features like DPS meters? A: Yes, DPS meters and the Cooldown Manager are included, but the team balanced them against Classic design pillars to preserve the original feel.
