Vortex Gaming

· World of Warcraft Forever is a distinctly different game from Classic.
· The biggest features are the addition of the new race 'Skyborn' and the expansion of class choices for various races.
· The story progression is also different from the existing World of Warcraft. It's like an 'alternate universe' where the foundation of the existing game is maintained, but continuous new content is added as if the story had unfolded differently.
· While the UI and systems from the retail version have been introduced to improve the inconveniences of Classic, unlike the retail version where leveling was easy and field content was neglected, it maintains the adventurous and slow leveling pace of Classic, emphasizing party play, and combines retail convenience with Classic's feel.

· Many people misunderstand Forever as another Classic, but it's completely different.
· In Classic, the story progression started from the first raid dungeon, 'Molten Core,' followed by 'Blackwing Lair' and 'Ahn'Qiraj Temple.'
· On the other hand, Forever's first raid dungeon is planned to be 'Deeprun Tram,' the new 'Mount Hyjal' raid, and 'Onyxia's Lair,' which also existed in Classic. This means the story progresses in a completely different direction from Classic right from the first raid.

· The level cap remains at 60. Unlike the traditional method where the level cap increased with each expansion, adding new zones and raids, Forever fixes the level cap at 60.
· However, this doesn't mean there's no new content. While existing dungeons and raids are maintained, new dungeons and raids are continuously planned to be added, dropping gear suitable for level 60.
· Convenience features that improve Classic's inconveniences have been integrated, such as instant mail transfer between characters on the same account, a modern party finder system, and an editable UI system.
· You can use convenient features like a damage meter without add-ons, and it follows the modern version's party finder and registration system.
· You can expect a level of convenience similar to modern games, including improvements to the mail system, which was inconvenient in Classic.

· Nine new dungeons, not present in Classic, have been added. This includes dungeons for max-level players as well as lower-level players.
· Dungeons for various level ranges such as 'Alliance,' 'Ruins of Lordaeron,' and 'Westland Excavation Site' have been added.
· Four new zones have also been added. These include areas that existed but were previously inaccessible, areas that naturally fit into the existing lore, and entirely new fields.
· The main updates include the addition of four new zones: 'Mount Hyjal,' 'Zandalar,' 'Riverbend,' and 'Feralas.'
· The 10-player raid 'Deeprun Tram,' the 20-player raid 'Mount Hyjal Summit,' and the 40-player raid 'Onyxia's Lair' will open simultaneously on December 9th.
· Raids of various sizes, including 10, 20, and 40 players, will coexist.

· The unbalanced state of Classic has been significantly improved. In particular, the performance of hybrid classes like Paladins and Shamans has been enhanced.
· The World Buff system will no longer apply within raids.
· The Warrior's 'Fury-Protection' meta has been revamped, making the Protection specialization more practical for tanking.
· Various skills that did not exist in Classic have been added. For example, Shamans will receive 'Lava Burst,' 'Chain Heal,' and 'Totem Recall.'
· The inconvenience of Hunters having to manually place traps has been improved.
· The inconvenience for Druids, who couldn't drink potions while shapeshifted, has been resolved, and a combat resurrection skill has also been added.
· Some unusable talents have been revamped to increase their utility.

· The new race 'Skyborn' has been added and can be chosen by both the Alliance and Horde factions.
· Various race and class combinations have been added, such as 'Gnome Priest,' 'Human Shaman,' 'Dwarf Shaman,' 'Orc Mage,' 'Troll Warlock,' and 'Undead Paladin.'
· Upon logging into the game, you can choose between the 2019 Classic version graphics or improved graphics.
· The transmogrification system introduced in 'Cataclysm' is also applied in Forever. This is also an optional feature; if disabled, other players' gear will appear in its original form.

· Forever is planned to be continuously updated. In Spring 2027, two new raids, two dungeons, new quests and zones, and legendary quest lines are scheduled.
· In Summer 2027, existing raids will be revamped along with new raids and world content.
· Despite the level 60 cap, you can enjoy a new WoW experience through new dungeons, raids, stories, and quests.
· If Classic was a game for re-experiencing the past, Forever is a game that opens a 'new world line,' going back to the past to write a new story based on modern convenience and UI.
· Over 1000 new quests, new zones, dungeons, raids, skills, and class specializations are planned to be added.

· World of Warcraft: Forever is scheduled for release on November 5, 2026, and is currently in beta.
· Currently, up to level 30 is open, and continuous updates are being made, similar to the main server.
· Developer patch notes, major balance changes, and bug fixes and improvements are consistently in progress.
· In the future, content related to Forever, such as dungeon and raid guides, will be covered.
