One of the big announcements at BlizzCon was WoW Forever, the next iteration of offering a classic-style WoW experience. Blizzard is hoping to draw players back to the OG WoW in a number of ways, including with the introduction of 1,000+ new quests. GameSpot caught up with Blizzard senior game designer Josh Greenfield to discuss this, along with why the game’s OG quests–from 22 years ago–still resonate today.

If Blizzard is adding 1,000 more quests to WoW with the update, how many does that bring the game up to in total? It’s a tricky question to answer, Greenfield said, in part because some of WoW’s original quests are “tracking quests,” but if you’re counting “actual playable quests,” the game has around 3,000 to 3,500.

So with 1,000+ more added of actual playable quests, that’s a significant increase. WoW Forever also adds four new zones, and each of these has between 50 and 200 quests, so that’s where many will come from. Additionally, the existing zones have been “glowed up,” with the Wetlands and Azshara, specifically, getting a “lot of new quests to round them out as zones.”
