Blizzard’s BlizzCon news round-up and Forever forum collection help locate originals. A link collection does not independently verify the articles it repeats.
Original developer interviews
- 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.
- Windows Central — Why another elf race?, 13 September 2026. Jez Corden interviews Tim Jones and Kris Zierhut. Used for Skyborne and Shen'dralas context.
- 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
- Talents Forever — the wiki’s 470 class talents and 20 Legacy perks use a pinned, attributed community snapshot. Read Project:Talent data for record-level estimates, unknowns, and provenance.
- Wowhead — World maps, 16 September 2026. World maps contains three inspected originals; each file page records its source and identification limits.
- 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.
