As I created a Hunter in World of Warcraft: Forever for what must be the 100th time by now, the saying 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results' rolled around my head a lot. I've played this game before. A lot. Is Forever truly sufficiently different to be so obsessed again? Well, yes. It's this lovely, warm, flawed, wonderfully infuriating dose of nostalgia. It's simultaneously far improved from the original World of Warcraft and, more recently, World of Warcraft Classic (we'll get into the differences shortly), while leaving you with questions of 'why would you leave that in?'.
Will it convert those who never liked WoW in the first place? Of course not. I don't think that's the point of World of Warcraft: Forever. Instead, it brings home all those slightly lost souls from 20+ years ago (AKA millennials like me who want to return to familiar comfort once more), but with some core improvements. It does that incredibly well and given it has brought back a record number of lapsed players, so far it's succeeding.

Before I dive too deep, let's sum up the differences between World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft Classic, and World of Warcraft Forever so you actually know why the game's important. Retail is best seen as an entirely different beast to Forever. It's very fast-paced, throws nearly as many unlocks at you as a standard game of Fortnite , and is all about leveling up as fast as possible to get to the next part of the story.
