[00:00] We ain't done yet. We're not done yet. What else could there be? I mean, we've already done Warcraft and Retail. Let's shift gears a little bit here. Trying to talk about something new.
[00:14] Maybe address some of the rumors out there. Because we know a lot of you love that nostalgic flavor of vanilla. So what if we take vanilla and really plus it up?
[00:30] Yeah! Yeah! Woo! Woo!
[00:42] I'm home. I'm home. I'm home. A child untold story A child untold story called to a heart called to a heart

[04:37] Oh, yeah, baby! Woo! I have to tell you, though, you only have a little bit of time to rally your friends, your newbies, your former crew, anyone you want to live in Azeroth with,
[04:53] get ready because World of Warcraft Forever launches in seven weeks. Oh, my gosh! On November 4th. November 4th?
[05:05] Oh, my gosh! I'll say that again. November 4th. November 4th. November 4th. No!
[05:17] It starts on Thursday. It's Thursday. And if you're here, you can play forever on the show floor. Woo! I know.
[05:32] World of Warcraft Forever is your new permanent home. It's a new beginning that never ends. And I promise you, if you're a past current or a new player,
[05:44] now's the time to get into the game that changed everything. Let me tell you why. We're giving you another way to play WoW that's friendly, familiar, and new. It's
[06:00] going to live right alongside our modern and classic games. Forever is focused on what made Vanilla so memorable in the first place, the world as the main character. Instead of one big heroic story, you will carve your own path. It's also a place dedicated to community and making sure that it's nurtured. And above all, there's no rush here. It's the journey that counts, not the destination.
[06:41] that's right that's right there's going to be a lot to discover too it's not all going to be solved or predictable
[06:53] ultimately it's easy to get into and play and deep enough to stay forever oh my gosh honestly this is a new opportunity to get back to what the heart is of mmos makes them so damn special
[07:11] Yes. It's like that absolute freaking magic of adventuring and running into battle or the thrill of a new encounter when you're trying to click your way out of certain peril.
[07:28] The adrenaline of it all. For faction. For friends. For loot. I mean, I don't personally care about loot. We love our loot. Even the chill moments are going to bring us home Like meeting a new friend on a run like I did when I was making the trek from Teldrassil to Ironforge with the music giving the vibes the whole way
[07:52] It's about all of us, and it's about feeling at home with your people. There are so many great moments like this to come, and a lot more.
[08:05] Between the well-worn pages of the history we know, by the stories we haven't heard.
[08:17] Countless adventures untold, from the times when it all began, through the hidden paths in ancient forests,
[08:29] above and beyond the movie of people, your journey or me. But the drums are raw.
[08:44] Wow forever. Wow forever. I don't do that. Okay.
[08:57] Deferent Isles. River Glades. Expanded original zones, yes.
[09:13] I mean, guys, it's class and plus. New dungeons, yes, sir. New raids, baby.

[10:35] That's what we're talking about, boys. There we go. Of course they saved that for last. Of course they saved that for last. I cannot wait for you to join us in forever.
[10:47] It all starts up after the events of Warcraft 3's Forsaken Kingdom when Lordaeron falls, but before Bolton Corps. So essentially, year one of Vanilla WoW. Year one of Vanilla WoW. Oh.
[11:00] But the future is untold. You may see stories that could have happened and some that didn't happen at all. Oh, so it's like a new future kind of a thing.
[11:12] I'm so excited. We are all going to meet up on our original continents and embark on the journey to 60 and stay at 60 indefinitely. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[11:28] The simple explanation for that is we don want to race ahead and leave our accomplishments our gear and our friends behind Exactly That said we will progress in new ways and get updates as we go new stories new experiences and more
[11:47] And it's all based on what we've been hearing from you. And for that inspiration, we want to thank you. We are nothing without our community. There we go, guys. Forever exists because the team soaked up many, many years
[12:04] of ideas and passion for Classic Plus. They brought their own magic to it. He just called it Classic Plus. It created this adventure for all of us. Yeah, he just called it, I mean, yeah. We've got a lot more to tell you, so stick around for our What's Next panel,
[12:17] which will be right here immediately after this. We're going right into that. Let's go.

[13:33] Woo! All right, guys, we're hooked forever now. GG's. It's over. GG's. Johanna described this time together as an oasis.
[13:45] And that's what our worlds have always been. The time we get to spend here is truly precious. I can't say it again. I love you all.
[13:59] And this is where opening ceremony begins and it ends right now. But our adventures are going to begin. I do want to say from our hearts to yours, thank you.
