World of Warcraft: Forever Devs Answer Our Biggest Questions at BlizzCon

We interviewed the World of Warcraft: Forever team at BlizzCon about the return of Blizzard's classic MMO and where Azeroth's heroes are headed next. Lead game designer Tim Jones and lead software engineer Nora Mills discuss designing new zones like Mount Hyjal and Riverglades, seeing Azeroth's new lighting and particle system for the first time, and how they're planning to improve the leveling experience for all players in Forever. We also dive into specifics like add-on support, pricing for the new Skyborne elf race, and how Blizzard plans to implement future content like new classes (we asked about the long-requested Tinkerer class).
