Blizzard's access announcement lists launch on 4 November 2026 and beta beginning 17 September 2026.[3] See the Beginner guide for the beta window and access requirements.

Explore the reference
- New places: Riverglades and Zephras Isle.
- Dungeon preview: Hall of Thanes, with its Ironforge location reference.
- Quest-reward examples: Ladimore Heirloom Ring and Master Hunter's Spellsword. Follow their linked character and zone pages to see the documented context.
Start with Guides, Changes from Classic, Classes, and Races, then explore Camping and the Legacy system. Articles identify the evidence behind each announcement or preview detail. Browse Items, Zones, NPCs, and Dungeons for the growing database. The quest index is waiting for sources that establish exact quest names and objectives.
Questions for a first character
- Where should I start?
- Read Game access and System requirements, then follow the Beginner guide. Release roadmap keeps launch milestones together.
- What should my group agree on?
- Compare Realmless rulesets, Race and class combinations, and the nine class guides before planning characters together.
- How do I understand the new progression systems?
- Camping explains campsite contributions, while Legacy system explains account progression and character perk choices. Icy Veins' Forever overview is useful introductory reading for these topics; the linked wiki references show their evidence and remaining uncertainties.
- Do the class guides establish the strongest build?
- They explain recorded abilities and interactions. A preview tooltip can help you understand a choice, but it does not prove a final damage ranking, optimal rotation, or best race.
Help document Forever
Start with Getting started and the worked contributor example. Record the source and game build for each addition, and distinguish announced details from observations in beta. Project:Data policy explains the review statuses.
