World of Warcraft: Forever, Blizzard's vanilla-flavoured spin-off built by the WoW Classic team, has already pulled in far more players than the studio expected.
While the game isn't set to go live until 4th November and the rush of players to this week's beta caused disconnects and heavy lag, the team are nonetheless excited by the response to the upcoming launch.

As WoW Classic developer Josh Greenfield shared on Twitter/X: "Man, it was hard to sleep last night, I was so excited. Beta has been... crazy. The craziest numbers I've seen in 17 years working at Blizzard and almost eight years on classic."
He added: "We've got something really special here".

World of Warcraft senior game producer Tom Ellis also took to Twitter/X detail why the test had struggled to meet demand.
"AHMAGERD, this game is 20 years old, how do you still suck at this!?!" he wrote.
