## Key points

- Riverglades feels more like The Burning Crusade than Vanilla.
- Its dense quests include hidden areas and branching chains.
- The writer is happy with this blend of eras.

## Summary

WoW: Forever’s new Riverglades zone feels closer to The Burning Crusade than to the original World of Warcraft, and the writer welcomes that resemblance. The zone combines Classic’s scale and exploratory feel with denser quests, branching paths and hidden discoveries, offering a nostalgic experience that sits between the two eras.

Available from about level 38, Riverglades was added in November and was not part of the original game. The writer compares its swampy flats to Nagrand and says its quests also help fill gaps in levelling areas. They hope future additions retain some of Vanilla’s open-ended adventure while borrowing The Burning Crusade’s more engaging quest design.
