World of Warcraft: Forever is live. Blizzard opened it worldwide at one moment: November 4 at 3:00 p.m. PST (23:00 UTC, midnight CET on November 5). It comes with an active WoW subscription or Game Time; pick WoW: Forever in the Game Version menu of the Battle.net app.

First hotfix: Invite-a-Friend

Players who joined with an Invite-a-Friend code were blocked from some chat channels and could not level past 10, join a guild, form a party or trade. A hotfix that is now live removes these restrictions. Blizzard says affected players may need to log out and back in.

What comes next

  • December 9: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia's Lair open. See our raid preparation guide.
  • Hardcore ruleset: later, no date yet.
