A presenter on the BlizzCon stage unveils World of Warcraft Forever, a new Classic-era version of the game, and tells players to gather their old and new friends and get ready for Azeroth.

He places the story after Warcraft 3, roughly in the first year of Classic, and says players level up to 60 and then stay there for an indefinite period. He promises a new beginning that never ends, where players forge their own path, and says the cap stays so nobody rushes ahead and leaves their achievements and friends behind.
WHY WATCH
The reveal pins a November 4 launch and a Thursday beta while freezing the level cap at 60 indefinitely, keeping the community on its old content.

He pitches a classic mode that switches off other players' transmogrification visibility, and says uncommon and rare dungeon loot hands its appearance to every eligible player who picks it up, while epic appearances stay bound to the looter to keep their prestige. Hannah Resendes, lead software engineer, then takes over and unveils the Legacy system, which she says rewards the leveling journey rather than the destination.
Covers the first 15 of 52 minutes.
