World of Warcraft: Forever Is Bringing Back Something Modern MMOs Made Too Easy to Avoid

It's pretty remarkable how much the moment-to-moment gameplay in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta seems purpose-built to make players need each other. The outdoor world is dangerous, as pulling even one enemy can send you straight back to the graveyard as multiple enemies then come rushing in alongisde, and new collaborative campsites give strangers a reason to sit down together. Given that retail WoW's modern MMO conveniences have made it all too easy to experience a massively multiplayer game almost entirely alone for years, it's also more than a bit refreshing to see WoW Forever take that option off the table.
