## Summary

A fan-run Classic Shaman Discord server has locked itself down indefinitely to protest Blizzard’s latest class changes for World of Warcraft: Forever. Its moderators say player feedback has been ignored and that the changes damage the Shaman’s class identity, drawing attention to tensions over the game’s design ahead of its public release.

The latest beta patch adjusts several classes, including Shaman, just days before the release. The moderators said the shutdown was intended as a signal that the community rejects how Blizzard has handled Shaman specialisations. Reactions from other players have been mixed, and it is unclear whether the protest will affect the developers’ decisions.
