Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
Blizzard has increased the server capacity for the World of Warcraft: Forever beta again, as interest continues to grow. Executive producer Holly Longdale announced the latest increase, adding to signs that the beta is attracting unusually high numbers of players.
Last week, developer Josh Greenfield said the beta had produced the “craziest numbers” he had seen in 17 years at Blizzard. The beta currently requires the £51.99 Skyborne Epic pack, but the full game is due to launch on 4 November with a monthly subscription. The article gives no current player figures, though it notes that World of Warcraft reached around 12 million subscribers during the Wrath of the Lich King era and that WoW Classic’s 2019 launch brought the series’ largest subscriber increase.
