Ordovick | Coming 2026!

I am well and truly grateful that this exists and I'm absolutely hooked. Please do not lose your way and do not stop listening to the players. The PLAYERS, not the streamers, not the content creators, not the sweats, not the casuals, everyone in between, your actual core audience. I don't think WoW would ever recover if this slips into your usual practices Blizzard.

For WoW Forever I'm putting some rules on myself for full blown adventuremaxing. I encourage anyone who wants to get a little more out of the game and take their time, to do the same. The only exception is none of these apply if I'm grouping with other players for obvious reasons, unless of course they're following the same rules. Here's my adventure ruleset: 1. No flight paths and no hearthstoning, unlocking them is still acceptable. 2. When traveling, attempt to stick to safe routes/roads where possible. 3. Every time I stop by an Inn/Town I have to eat at least one meal (both food and drink.) (I've done the math for foot travel on Azeroth and technically if scaled up to earth size, 30 seconds of running is equal to traveling for one day on Earth, which is insane so I'm abstracting it to every time I reach a place of rest.) 3B. If no place of rest is available or I'm going to be out in the world for a while, do it at the nearest quest hub or every hour or so. 3C. After acquiring a mount, double the amount of food consumed to account for an additional mouth to feed. If playing a hunter I must also feed my pet when I eat. 4. Upon logging out, only log out in a place that offers rested XP, if no place is available at least somewhere that makes sense to be safe. If I don't have time due to an emergency or something, at least log out at a campfire for immersion. 5. No quest assistant addons. 6. Read all quest text, as well as any relevant text on readable quest items 7. Repairing my gear can only be done at the appropriate vendor. Only a blacksmith can repair armor/weapons, only a bowyer can repair a bow, etc. 8. Mounts cannot be used in particularly rough terrain/environments and must be left behind, i cannot remount until I return to roughly where I left it. I may add more if I think of any, but for now this is the plan, it's not meant to be some grueling realism challenge or anything like that, this is just for a sprinkle of extra immersion and fun.
