A major draw for World of Warcraft: Forever is how much slower it will be compared to the modern version of the MMO. Traveling across the world takes longer, quests take longer, and even fighting enemies takes considerably longer than most players have gotten used to.

This slower pace is basically the whole point of having an MMO set in the original era of WoW. It's an opportunity to experience what it might've been like if Blizzard never sped things up over the course of several expansions.
