Beta testing wraps up

WoW Forever’s five-week beta has closed. Blizzard thanked testers for playtesting, gathering data, reporting bugs and sharing feedback, and says it is turning to priority issues and the game service ahead of launch.[1]

Create characters early

Character creation is scheduled to open on October 27. Players will be able to select their ruleset and reserve a character name before the November 4 launch, rather than waiting for launch day to make those choices.[1]

Looking toward launch

Blizzard says WoW Forever is set to launch November 4. It also plans to continue the WoW Forever Podcast the following week, with earlier episodes covering beta, classes, dungeons and PvP.[1]

TL;DR

  • The five-week WoW Forever beta is closed, and Blizzard says it will spend the next few days addressing priority issues and preparing the service for launch.[1]
  • Character creation is scheduled to open October 27, letting players choose a ruleset and claim a name before the November 4 launch.[1]
