WoW: Forever Shines With New Lighting in Classic Beta

TL;DR Summary
Kotaku notes World of Warcraft: Forever’s beta introduces updated lighting and water effects to the original game, offered in two modes—classic and updated visuals—sparking a flood of sunset, sunrise, and misty-forest screenshots as players praise the glow while still able to disable the changes if they prefer the original look; the update brings 20 years of lighting tech to a 21-year-old game and even adds the Skyborne Elves as a paid unlock in the beta.
