Blizzard says WoW: Forever is the biggest launch in World of Warcraft history

[Jan79]

World of Warcraft has had its biggest launch ever. Windows Central reports that Blizzard has confirmed WoW Forever is the biggest launch in WoW history by peak concurrent players, beating Wrath of the Lich King

Blizzard also says it brought back the highest number of returning players in the game's history. No actual player numbers were given

WoW Forever is an alternate timeline version of the game with thousands of new quests and less hand holding. It is available on PC and through cloud streaming services like GeForce Now, and Blizzard has teased an Xbox version

PC Gamer reports that developers are tuning the game's layering technology because some cities feel empty. Blizzard said it was aware that certain areas were not feeling as populated as they should

Beating Wrath of the Lich King is a huge achievement, since that expansion is often seen as the game's peak. Bringing back lapsed players with a fresh take on old content clearly worked. Fixing empty cities quickly will help keep that buzz going

Have you jumped into WoW Forever? And what brought you back, if you returned?
