## Summary

Blizzard has reduced player populations in the most congested areas of World of Warcraft: Forever after launch-week crowds made some zones difficult to play in. The adjustment is especially significant on PvP realms, where players had raised concerns about overcrowding.

Associate production director Clay Stone said the company will keep monitoring how zones feel and make further changes if needed. Redridge Mountains and Duskwood were among the areas players had highlighted; some commenters also called for changes to enemy spawn rates in mines and caves.
