Blizzard Says WoW: Forever's Divisive Layering Will See Major Improvements for Launch

Blizzard told GameSpot that World of Warcraft: Forever's layering system will receive significant improvements for launch. The behind-the-scenes system assigns players to layers based on criteria like friends, language, and PvP balance, but during the beta players frequently complained about abrupt layer switches when leaving groups, crossing zones, or traveling by zeppelin or boat. Blizzard's statement did not detail the specific changes.
