The entire premise of Forever is "what if the Dark Portal never reopened and we never went to Outland." They're going to be on just Azeroth itself, including zones and land masses that existed way back in Classic on the map but were never implemented. There's plenty of Classic-style content left they can add in without having to abandon the old world like was done once TBC launched. This is what people were asking for with "Classic+." It also frees them from all the lore and storylines that resulted from the retail chain of expansions.

They increased dungeon xp, but it is still very low. It doesn't make them worth doing.
In terms of XP itself, the best way to do it is simply grind mobs. Quests take too fucking long with all that running around. The first 60's in this game mobbed their way to 60.
Kind of hilarious is that they replicated that South Park episode from long ago. The boys were in Elwynn Forest grinding boars for xp.

I'm fully in on this - but I do think they could have done more to jazz up the leveling process. Not necessarily speed it up, but alternative ways to lvl efficiently beyond questing (that still uses very dated fetch/bear ass mechanics, with hundreds of other players doing same thing). Riverglades for example, is fantastic. Feels fresh, new, interesting etc. The grind to get there is almost 1/1 the classic experience aside from a few new quests and dungeons. I think/hope they're saving a lot of powder for post max level improvements, raids, zones, etc. Ultimately though, the basic core tenants of classic remain - make your own fun, find your own groups, etc. Once I hit 60 I'm sleeping for a week then will spend holidays mucking around at 60, grinding Bg's etc.

With a good guide questing+mobbing is the way to go, its always been that way until the classic dungeon spam meta won out, and why the nerfed it. No question about it. Unless you pulling some layering magic (non stop spawns) with a full group and aoe. Like the first server 60s did. Ive been playing casual as fuck, maybe 4-5 hrs a day and 22 now not even trying with a guide. And ive been stopping along the way and got fishing up to 120, cooking up to 100, skinning up to 120....
without a guide youre just aimlessly running around and I can see how that shit would be frustrating as hell.

My thought is they are going to release expansion, I mean content patches, where they definitely don't make you pay (blizzard is very altruistic) and new races (also don't have to pay) where they keep the level cap but just raise ilvl in these totally worth it paid for content patches. They want an infinitely horizontal progression.
I hope it works out for people that like the game but I still have a hard time believing it myself.

That's not correct math. The initial nerf was 80%. So you start at .2. Then they raised it 20% of the nerfed amount. .2 X 1.2 = .24. THen they raised it 50% of that. .24 X 1.5 = .36. So now you are sitting at 36% of Vanilla.

Yeah only reason I'd run a dungeon multiple times right now is if it drops something that completely changes your next 6-8 levels of your life and you're the only person who can get it if it drops, like the Ravager in scarlet monastery.

Got a bunch of friends into Forever and was playing pretty much non stop.
Great to have people to play with but fuck i got stuck needing to fill the tank role so I'm a pally.
If it weren't for the interaction with others and needing to wait for them when someone is sleeping I'd be a higher level.
Also fucking questing in a full party for collection quests sucks. And still some people manage to fall behind in level

I think in one of the private server they had like carriage going from places to places and you could just hop in along the way, was a great way to speed up all the walking around without giving mounts too early.
Also, they should boost dungeon to be on par with questing, and lower the instance limit per hours.

Alright, well some one run from Thunderbluff to Excavation dungeon on a PVP server and let me know how fun that is. I know because I did it. As a Tauren Hunter, the fastest sub 40 character possible.
It was annoying at minimum and it took close to an hour. Will I remember it when people talk about this launch? Yeah maybe, and I'll say "Yeah, it was stupid." Just like a lot of shit from actual WoW launches.

They should've just made exp deadzones between dungeons, but previous smoothing for dungeon spamming made the dungeon levels perfectly overlap so you could just go from one to another all the way to 60. If they really thought this through they would've added a good 3-4 levels between most dungeons where you just didn't get exp to force people to quest, but there's just too many dungeons and their bandage was nerfing exp from elites instead.
