World of Warcraft: Forever, a throwback version of the massive multiplayer RPG old enough to drink, is giving everyone an opportunity to relive past glories. Turning back the clock to the game’s first year, with new content and quality of life improvements, the concept worked wonders for RuneScape, and is seemingly doing even better for Blizzard. Forever is one of the strongest launches in Warcraft’s history according to the studio. Among this new wave of players, one familiar face is already up to his old tricks, maxing out the level cap in a matter of days.

Back in 2019, Daniel Gobey, better known as “JokerD,” was the first player to hit the level 60 cap when World of Warcraft Classic launched. As his handle suggests, Gobey is something of a troublemaker, achieving that record by taking advantage of server quirks to juice his rapid ascent. While Blizzard hopes their players will take a more leisurely approach to the latest homecoming, Gobey has once again taken the crown. Reaching the maximum level in Forever in just three days flat. Albeit this time only making use of shorter cooldowns on Undead characters. Upon hitting the milestone, a GM emerged, greeted his party and set off fireworks.

“That was awesome,” said Gobey. “That was not something I was expecting.”

That Gobey remains the record holder in this horde is an even greater feat, given that Forever has collected one of the largest concurrent player counts in the game’s history.
