Blizzard has answered the requests from those World of Warcraft players who were hoping for a kind of Classic+ experience. The American company announced during BlizzCon that World of Warcraft: Forever will launch on November 5. The beta will begin on September 17.

This version of the MMORPG will be available to existing World of Warcraft subscribers at no additional cost. Players will be able to explore an alternate version of Azeroth based on the original Vanilla game with an expanded selection of races and classes, including a new playable race of Elves from the island of Zephras. There will be over 1,000 quests to complete, and the level cap will remain at 60.

The graphics have been modernized but will retain the visual style of the original era. Classes have been rebalanced, and customization options have been added, along with new zones, raids, quests, and dungeons.
