What Changed From Classic
Very little in the zone's structure. We compared Forever build 1.60.1.70862 with Classic Era build 1.15.9.70576. Loch Modan has the same 16 subzones at the same level tags, and Thelsamar's flight point row has not moved.Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Wago Tools: AreaTable, Forever build, Classic Era build and TaxiNodes, checked Nov 8, 2026.
The drawn map is less clear. Kami Labs' article says in its text that Loch Modan's map stays identical, while its table gives the zone the same row as Westfall, a Deadmines cave marker. Those two statements conflict, so we make no claim about the drawn map here.Source: Kami Labs: All 54 WoW Forever Maps Compared to Classic, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Quest Status Against Classic
wow4ever labels each quest it tracks against Classic. Treat it as a fan dataset, not a complete quest log.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wow4ever: quest pages, checked Nov 8, 2026.
Its list marks six Loch Modan quests as new. WANTED: Chok'sul (level 22) is labeled Changed. The label does not say what changed, so read the quest text before you rely on an old guide.
