The beta for World of Warcraft: Forever has experienced such high demand that Blizzard has been forced to increase its server population cap for the second time. This surge in players indicates a significant interest in the retro-style version of the popular MMORPG.
The beta, which is accessible through a $60 (£52) early access purchase, has seen queues reminiscent of the game's original launch days. Despite the progress wipe upon the beta's conclusion in November, players are actively participating, with Blizzard confirming the need to expand server capacity.
World of Warcraft: Forever offers a modernized take on the classic experience, incorporating some quality-of-life improvements and additional quests. Players have expressed strong engagement, with multiple characters reaching higher levels, eagerly awaiting further progression as the level cap is expected to rise. The development team's efforts in creating this revamped classic have been met with positive player reception, generating anticipation for the full release.
