WoW: Forever's list of changes snowballed as Blizzard got more excited, says dev: 'Our original pitch internally was: We'll do 4 new dungeons'

In the World of Warcraft Forever beta, there has been a significant expansion of content, with new quests and dungeons seamlessly integrated into the classic gameplay. Associate production director Clay Stone revealed that the project began as a modest idea - adding four new dungeons - but quickly grew due to the team's enthusiasm and Blizzard's broader vision.

Stone explained that the project evolved from WoW Classic titles, with Hardcore and Season of Discovery serving as crucial testing grounds for new content and learning experiences. The success of Season of Discovery, which exceeded expectations, prompted discussions about creating a version of WoW Forever without the "Season" label.

The team initially intended to launch with four new dungeons, but the growing excitement led to adding more content. Ultimately, the scope of the project expanded considerably, surpassing many players' expectations upon its November 2023 launch.
