  "account": "World of Warcraft Forever has been striving to maintain the original WoW experience, yet there are certain historical elements that must be incorporated. The quest \"Kyle’s Gone Missing!\" was added to Forever during the Burning Crusade expansion in 2007. Ezra Chatterton, the in-game voice actor for the quest-giver, Ahab Wheathoof, and the dog Kyle, was diagnosed with brain cancer that year. Chatterton voiced the quest, which required players to locate and feed the dog to return him home. Ezra passed away in 2008 at the age of 12, yet the quest has remained a cherished part of the game. After players requested its inclusion in World of Warcraft Forever, Blizzard added it after receiving feedback from players who were saddened by its absence. The quest is now available in the beta version of the game, allowing players to experience Ezra's legacy.",
  "summary": "For as much as World of Warcraft Forever has been making an effort to preserve the vanilla WoW experience, there are just some things in the game's history that must be added, and the quest 'Kyle's Gone Missing!' is one of them. And Blizzard just added it to Forever.",
