Why WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER is urging Warcraft fans to slow down and smell the Bruiseweed

Forever is here and two of the driving developers behind it all have joined SIFTER to explain their quest for a fresh start on the WORLD OF WARCRAFT experience.

Executive Producer Holly Longdale and Associate Production Director Clay Stone take us through the big picture and small details that brought Forever to life and why it's so important to the future of the WoW experience.

In this episode of Lightmap, we learn how the team is balancing player trust with leading fearlessly, the 'time bubble' theory of Forever's setting in the timeline, and we explore Holly's theory for new spell combos between classes that could shake up the meta... forever!

With side quests through what Bluey taught Clay about game design and Holly's newfound passion for BlizzCon fashion, this is one every WoW fan, hardcore or casual, will want to delve into.
