The short version
- While the "Classic Plus" version of World of Warcraft had long been a request from players (and had partially leaked ahead of time), it was the breadth and scope of World of Warcraft Forever that surprised many fans.
- Blizzard had another World of Warcraft Forever surprise on the show floor: The MMO is playable on a gamepad, the first time that World of Warcraft has received such robust, official game controller support.
- Typically, the game is played with a keyboard and mouse — and a series of keybindings for spells and actions.
What happened

Why it matters
That's not really the goal of gamepad support in Forever , the game's developers tell Polygon.
