The clock stopped in 2004. The map did not.

About this guide
World of Warcraft: Forever launches on 4 November 2026 at 3 PM Pacific, for PC and Mac, inside the subscription you already pay. Blizzard announced it at BlizzCon on 12 September; the beta opens on 17 September. This is a pre-release guide built on one rule: everything here is something Blizzard has stated or shown. The nine new dungeons and two raids with their level ranges, the four new zones and the battleground, the six new race and class combinations and the Skyborne elves, the realmless rulesets, the Legacy and campfire systems, what each pack costs and what it actually unlocks. Where Blizzard has not said something — the Skyborne's mount, what happens to Classic Era characters, the hardcore date — the page says so instead of guessing.
