REN SUMMARY

AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.

World of Warcraft: Forever’s beta got a big update that changes more than just bug fixes and class tuning. The biggest change is the level cap, which has been raised from 20 to 30. That opens up more zones for leveling and also lets players enter new dungeons.

A new dungeon called Excavation Site: Wetlands is now available for players level 26 and up. Razorfen Downs and Uldaman have also opened, so three of the nine promised new dungeons are now playable. Excavation Site: Wetlands sits in the south central part of Wetlands, in an area that was not reachable before.

The update also brings back the Mulgore questline Kyle’s Gone Missing!, which was originally tied to a Make-A-Wish visit by Ezra Chatterton in 2007. In addition, dungeon quests now give 50% less extra experience, which means leveling through dungeons will take longer.

One odd patch note says Anduin Wrynn and other children “unintentionally have hats,” and Blizzard is working on removing them.
