World of Warcraft: Forever was an exciting refresh of the MMORPG that has captured so many hearts over so many years.
We were certainly excited to see everything new it was bringing to Azeroth when that overview trailer dropped ahead of launch, and we probably should have expected the reimagining would see record-breaking numbers. Well, a new tweet from the franchise’s Twitter handle showcases a launch that has brought in the highest peak concurrent player count in its history, while also boasting the highest number of returning players. It’s certainly no surprise given this title’s reputation precedes it even when it’s miles away, but it’s impressive that even lapsed fans returned to see what all the fuss is about.
Of course, changes to individual classes, new race/class options, the new campfire system, and a whole lot of new content are already in, along with the promise of more to come, all of which are good reasons to return to a game that’s already such a tempting proposition to begin with. All that’s left is to wait for those new level 60 raids to drop next month, though you probably shouldn’t expect any of the expansions to arrive at any point in the future.
