WoW: Forever Won't Have Dead Servers

Blizzard said World of Warcraft: Forever will avoid repeating WoW Classic's mistakes and will have tools to prevent "dead" or "unsustainable" server rulesets. Senior game designer Josh Greenfield said that if a ruleset's population can't sustain itself, Blizzard has options such as linking auction houses or allowing players to group for instanced content, though it won't resort to that unless absolutely necessary. The game uses essentially mega servers tailored around specific rulesets, and Blizzard remains committed to keeping rulesets separate.
