Warcraft Brew (WoW Forever + Classic)

WoW Forever has officially arrived—and we have plenty to say about it.

In this episode of Warcraft Brew, Quissy and Pasta react to the BlizzCon 2026 reveal and share their honest first impressions after playing the WoW Forever beta. We discuss what works, what needs improvement, and whether WoW Forever feels like the future Classic WoW players have been waiting for.

Topics include the Skyborne content, new quests and dungeons, professions, class changes, environments, art design, character models, layering, gear progression, shared mob tagging, and several of the beta’s biggest new features.

What should dungeons and lore look like in WoW Classic Plus?

In this episode of Warcraft Brew, we explore the Classic Plus Project’s community survey questions focused on dungeons and lore. We review the results, reveal the most popular answers, and share our own choices and opinions for each question.

Should Classic Plus introduce completely new dungeons, expand unfinished areas, or revisit familiar locations? How closely should new stories follow the original game’s lore—and where should Blizzard be willing to explore something new?

Listen along and let us know how your answers compare with ours and the rest of the Classic Plus community.

Could WoW Classic Plus pull players away from TBC Anniversary servers—and do the latest Project Camelot 1.60 build updates suggest that Blizzard is expanding internal testing?

In this episode of Warcraft Brew, Quissy and Pasta discuss the biggest WoW Classic stories of the week before continuing their Classic+ community survey discussion.

We cover STONECORE’s all-Dwarf, Self-Found Hardcore Molten Core clear; the August 27 launch of TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 3; the future of Anniversary servers if Classic Plus launches; whether Mists of Pandaria Classic will progress into Warlords of Draenor; the newly announced D&D: World of Warcraft release; and the latest encrypted Project Camelot build activity.

We then return to the community-led Classic+ survey and finish the introductory questions from our previous episode.

What do you think happens to the Anniversary servers if Classic Plus is announced? Would you keep playing TBC, or immediately move to Classic+?

How much should WoW Classic Plus change, and when do modern conveniences start taking away from the Classic experience?

In this episode of Warcraft Brew, we begin our Classic+ discussion by answering the introductory community survey questions from https://wowclassic.plus/survey/results.

We share our opinions on modern graphics, server rollouts, seasonal realms, layering, smaller raids, Dungeon Finder, summoning stones, Heroic dungeons, rated PvE and PvP, AoE looting, world buffs, addons, flying, transmog, GDKPs, new zones and much more.

Should Classic+ preserve the original World of Warcraft experience, embrace modern quality-of-life features, or find a balance somewhere in between? Watch the episode and tell us what your ideal version of Classic Plus would look like.

The Classic+ Project is a community-led project created by a team led by Joardee and OnlyBlacksmoke. Explore the surveys and results:
