## Key points

- WoW: Forever has won over a longtime MMO fan who had never played WoW.
- Its old-school style feels charming rather than off-putting.
- The beta’s progression and group play have been welcoming.

## Summary

After years of avoiding World of Warcraft because its long history and expansions felt daunting, the writer says the new WoW: Forever beta has finally drawn them into Azeroth. They have played for a month and enjoy its old-fashioned combat, humour and colourful style, finding it welcoming despite its dated interface and limited guidance.

The writer is playing Wisteria, a Skyborne Druid, and describes exploring, questing, learning spells and teaming up with friends. They say progression feels manageable and quest drops seem fairer than older players recall. The article presents WoW: Forever as a version of the long-running MMO that may help newcomers experience its familiar appeal without feeling they have missed years of history.
