World of Warcraft: Forever's beta is “putting up the craziest numbers” Blizzard's seen in 17 years
A Blizzard developer says the beta launch was overrun with eager fans — an early signal the free relaunch could be a genuine hit.
World of Warcraft: Forever's beta launch was reportedly overrun with eager players, with a Blizzard developer telling IGN it's putting up “the craziest numbers I've seen in 17 years working at Blizzard.”
That's a striking claim from someone with enough tenure at the studio to have real perspective on it, but it's still one developer's characterization rather than a published player-count figure — worth watching for whether Blizzard backs it up with actual numbers as the beta continues.
Why it matters. A 17-years-at-Blizzard dev calling something record-breaking is a big claim worth watching, not just hype.
