World of Warcraft: Forever will reward players for creating extra characters

World of Warcraft: Forever launches on November 4, and its developers want players to create more than one character.

The game’s Legacy System gives points for major achievements, which players can use to unlock quality-of-life improvements.

Additional characters, often called alts, can make it easier to earn some of those points through lower-level activities.

They can also help experienced players join friends who are new to the game and still leveling.

The developers plan to add new areas, dungeons and profession items in future updates.

Because the level cap will not change, some new content will be designed for players at different stages of leveling.

This gives players more ways to make progress, including during shorter play sessions.

What people are saying

There will be reasons to play alts and to unlock Legacy points, to have new journeys.
