Summary
Senior Game Designer Josh Greenfield said at the Found Photographs panel that Forever 'does not exist in the same continuity as modern World of Warcraft'. Chris Metzen's phrase for it is 'our little time bubble'. The team will 'paint inside the lines of established foundational lore' and will not rewrite RTS-era canon, so Arthas still becomes the Lich King. Later history 'does not necessarily have to follow existing expansions identically' (Inven).
