The last time GMs were seen in numbers in the world was for the launch of Classic Anniversary. Since then, GM sightings have been extraordinarily rare, if not non-existent. Many players fondly remember Vanilla, when a GM might appear to help with a ticket you'd put in, crack jokes with players, or simply enjoy the game like everyone else. Over time, that happened less and less frequently, until GM appearances were all but unheard of.
One detail that many players noticed once sightings started pouring in: every GM had the last name Snowstorm, a cheeky homage to Blizzard. They also all had jokes!
We can't know for sure if this is a one-time event or if we'll be seeing GMs more often in Forever than in previous versions of Classic. Either way, a fantastic launch was made even better with these small encounters, giving many players a huge hit of nostalgia from when Classic was Retail itself.
