Blizzard’s [https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24301145/world-of-warcraft-at-blizzcon-2026-news-round-up BlizzCon news round-up] and [https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/world-of-warcraft-forever-revealed-at-blizzcon-2026/2347170 Forever forum collection] help locate originals. A link collection does not independently verify the articles it repeats.

== Original developer interviews ==
* [https://www.mmorpg.com/interviews/blizzcon-2026-interview-chatting-wow-forevers-campsites-horizontal-progression-and-more-with-blizzard-2000138932 MMORPG.com — Camping, progression, and more], 15 September 2026. Robin Baird interviews Josh Greenfield and Jeff Parrott. Used in [[Camping]], [[Transmogrification]], [[Realmless rulesets]], [[Character names]], [[User interface and accessibility]], and [[Discovery and itemization]]. Tentative plans retain tentative wording.
* [https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/blizzard/why-is-world-of-warcraft-forever-adding-another-elf-race-i-asked-blizzard Windows Central — Why another elf race?], 13 September 2026. Jez Corden interviews Tim Jones and Kris Zierhut. Used for [[Skyborne]] and [[Shen'dralas]] context.
* [https://www.warcrafttavern.com/forever/news/ion-holly-interview-blizzcon-2026/ Warcraft Tavern — Ion & Holly interview], 14 September 2026. Mila Grish’s edited press-room transcript includes other WoW editions. Only the passages explicitly about Forever support [[Changes from Classic]] and [[Realmless rulesets]].

== Community data and datamined previews ==
* [https://talentsforever.com/ Talents Forever] — the wiki’s [[Talents|470 class talents]] and [[Legacy perks|20 Legacy perks]] use a pinned, attributed community snapshot. Read [[Project:Talent data]] for record-level estimates, unknowns, and provenance.
* [https://www.wowhead.com/forever/news/new-and-modified-world-maps-in-world-of-warcraft-forever-382950 Wowhead — World maps], 16 September 2026. [[World maps]] contains three inspected originals; each file page records its source and identification limits.
* [https://www.wowhead.com/news/new-reputation-names-datamined-for-wow-forever-382945 Wowhead — Reputation names], 16 September 2026. [[Factions]] separates provisional names from announced local groups. Names alone do not establish a reputation grind or rewards.
* [[Datamined previews]] links the original gear-model, creature-model, and set-effect reports. A model does not establish obtainable loot. The set-effect report expressly warns of Season of Discovery remnants; unconfirmed values have not been added to equipment fields.

== Using a source on an article ==
Identify the exact Forever passage or record before adding a fact. Cite its original URL and date, record the client build when known, and leave unknown fields empty. Shared names do not make a Classic, retail, Season of Discovery, or other-edition mechanic valid for Forever. Preserve conflicts instead of choosing whichever value seems familiar.
