- Beta players took 20.5 hours to reach level 20.
- Blizzard says the pace supports exploration and social play.

## Summary

WoW: Forever keeps the original Classic experience curve, so reaching the level 60 cap is expected to take a substantial amount of time. Blizzard says the unchanged pace is intended to keep players exploring the world and support social play, making the journey to the new endgame a central part of the game.

Players earn experience through quests, killing monsters and discovering areas. In the beta, reaching level 20 took an average of 20.5 hours, close to Classic’s 20.4 hours; Blizzard also plans to increase monster spawn rates at launch before balancing them later. Players can group to share experience from monster kills, while quest experience remains individual, and professions level separately through related activities.
