  "account": "The beta for World of Warcraft: Forever has concluded, and the author is satisfied with their experience so far. They played through level 26, and found themselves enjoying the game so much that they put off reaching the level cap. However, the author is concerned about the game's endgame design. Forever is intended to be played perpetually, with no expansions and continuous horizontal progression. While the game's designers aim to limit power progression between raid tiers, this approach may lead to issues down the line. As raid tiers increase, the incremental power increases may become less significant, creating an attunement questline for players. Blizzard will need to find a way to keep the game's endgame engaging and avoid relying on power creep to maintain player interest.",
