WoW Factor: How could World of Warcraft reclaim the leveling journey?
- World of Warcraft Classic and Retail offer different gameplay loops, with Classic focusing on the leveling journey while Retail is focused on endgame activities.
- The loss of the leveling journey is considered a significant drawback in modern WoW compared to the past.
- Blizzard's current focus on fast XP gain and level boosts shows a lack of interest in emphasizing slow leveling progression in Retail WoW.
- Although reclaiming the leveling journey in Retail WoW may be challenging due to past design changes, there are potential ways to reintroduce it.
- Remix seasons, accelerated leveling challenges based on older expansions, are one approach to reviving interest in past content.
- Introducing a special leveling challenge ruleset server or allowing players to opt for challenge options could offer a slower-paced and more engaging leveling experience.
- The idea is to create opportunities for players to immerse in the leveling process and explore content systematically rather than rush to endgame.
- By implementing new leveling challenges, Blizzard could potentially inject life and purpose into older expansions while providing players with fresh gameplay experiences.
- Blizzard's willingness to adapt and innovate in retaining player interest and engagement in the leveling journey could shape the future of World of Warcraft.
