## Key points

- WoW: Forever adds new features to the Vanilla experience.
- Players can leave the Skyborne zone and level across the original world.
- The writer praises its nostalgia and busy shared world.

## Summary

The writer says the WoW: Forever beta refreshes the Vanilla experience with new content while keeping its familiar foundations. Its Skyborne starting zone offers varied scenery and some stronger-than-expected quest writing, though the author found the quests became repetitive and the zone’s layout led many players to miss its story finale.

Players can leave the zone for capitals such as Dalaran or Stormwind and continue levelling across the original world. The writer left at about level 13, travelling through Eastern Kingdoms areas and finding the journey a nostalgic return to a game they had not played for years. They also point to the large player population, boosted by nostalgia and the removal of separate realms, and recommend the beta to fans who want new additions alongside Vanilla gameplay.
