At WoTLK Gold 2019 Executive producer John Hight and senior game designer Johnny Cash explained how Torghast offered Blizzard an opportunity to play in the WoW formula and to experiment somewhat. It's basically a tower in which you face a variety of encounters that grow in difficulty the higher you go. Your aim is to make it as far as you can before you're killed.

"We truly wanted to give you an opportunity where you could goand commit up to forty-five minutes and enjoy a thrilling replayable the experience" Hight said. "The way that's designed is you , and only you or five or more people with you, start climbing this tower, which was made to kill you or stop you from doing it.

"The reason it's a replayable game is because everything changes each the time you play. It's possible that the first level is different, and the path you were used to that is to the right moves to the left and the traps you're about in the first level, whether they're fire or blades or blades, will completely differ. The bosses that you encounter along with the spawns that you encounter as well as the bizarre loop will be awaiting you upon entering the level. Because they're mostly boosts and power-ups, and in the event of luck you'll come across some combinations that will make you totally overwhelmed. You'll have the ability to clear a level, achieve it, and be the most popular player in your peers, then go through the next level, and come across a completely different configuration."

The shifting reality of cheap WoTLK Classic Gold also applies to items you'll come across as you travel. The tower is full of enhancements and bonuses that linger only for an entire run, similar to the weapons and other equipment you'd find in a rogue-like game. It's quite different from others World of Warcraft activities because by design, it's not concentrated on the balance of your skills against your opponents.
