Return to Ashenvale to retry Vorsha the Lasher in World of Warcraft: Forever. The 6 November 2026 hotfix addresses the launch bug behind the quest's temporary disablement. This applies to the Forever launch on Windows and Mac. If you stopped trying after the 5 November notice, the quest entry in that notice has since been crossed out.

Retry Vorsha the Lasher in Ashenvale

Go back on the character you were questing with and check your quest log for Vorsha the Lasher. If the quest is already in your log, use its current objective to pick up where you left off. The check that matters is whether you can advance that objective in Ashenvale without the game closing during the encounter.

If the encounter still crashes, note the exact objective you were on and what happened just before the game closed. Include whether you were playing on Windows or Mac when you post in Blizzard's WoW Forever Bug Report forum. Use the full quest name so other players can find the report and compare where their run stopped.

If your group has split up and the game stays open, check whether you are in the same copy of Ashenvale before retrying together. Follow the world refresh steps for separated party members if you see the blue refresh notice.
