November 11 hotfixes; Item Restoration disabled, Riverglades nerfed
- November 11 hotfixes (Kaivax, official list): the Item Restoration service is disabled while Blizzard investigates a critical bug.
- Riverglades nerfs: the Twilight Enforcer’s Smash damage is significantly reduced, Executioner Morg deals less damage, and the Twilight Forgemaster’s Mark of Flames drops from 100 to 50.
- Bloody Claws of Attack now correctly grant +1 Fist/Unarmed Weapon skill; Earthen Silk Slippers no longer give more spell damage than intended.
- Red Mageweave Bag now takes 5 bolts of mageweave (was 4) and holds 14 slots; the Western Plaguelands Command Tent interaction is fixed, and mounting in named areas of Shen’dralas is fixed.
- Class fixes in the same list: Druid Rend and Tear now works on Pounce Bleed; Hunter Volley no longer activates procs or keeps channeling while moving; Paladin Judgement is now a Ranged Attack; Shaman Flametongue Totem Rank 2 is fixed.
- Correction: the level 48+ quest gold announced November 10 IS live — the November 10 list confirms “Most quests level 48 and higher now additionally reward gold.” The November 10 entry on this leaf said it was announced but not yet live; that was wrong.
The Item Restoration service is disabled until Blizzard re-enables it — do not count on restoring a deleted item meanwhile. Hotfix weeks keep moving the leveling meta daily, so check the live list before buying a leveling service or a class-specific account.

WoW Forever Gold Sellers
7 VENDORS
World of Warcraft: Forever is Blizzard's new permanent “Classic+” version of WoW: the original 2004 Azeroth with the level cap fixed at 60, plus new zones, quests, dungeons and a new playable race. It launched on November 4, 2026. The beta began on September 17 at a level 20 cap, which Blizzard raised to 30 on October 1. See the latest news.
AOEAH lists live WoW Forever gold (1G $2.49 at our November 8, 2026 check), for Alliance and Horde, delivered by in-game mail or face-to-face trade. AOEAH says it never asks for a game password and charges no hidden fees. Blizzard has also said it will go after buyers this time: in posts on September 28 and October 1 it warned that accounts that buy or receive illicit gold can lose that gold or be suspended or closed, and on October 8 it said those penalties will escalate faster, up to permanent bans.
How we got here: on our October 13 check, Overgear, Skycoach, WowVendor and LootWoW listed gold for the beta realms, which were wiped when the beta ended, and ExpCarry was taking reservations for delivery after November 4. Beta gold does not carry over, and level-60 accounts and instant-delivery promises are scam signals.

WoW Forever News & Timeline
Everything that has happened since the announcement, newest first, plus the dates still to come. We update this as Blizzard posts news. Last updated November 6, 2026.
First raids unlock
Hyjal Summit (20-player), Barrow Deeps (10-player) and Onyxia's Lair (40-player) open five weeks after launch. There are no raids on day one.
Dungeon kill XP hotfix New
Blizzard deployed a hotfix raising kill XP in dungeons by 50%, “so it feels better to go back in for more runs” — reversing the beta change that had all but removed kill XP from dungeons. Posted on the official forums around 11:05 a.m. PST on November 8 (Blue Tracker); no version number was given.
Class tuning announced for November 10 New
Kaivax’s November 6 post (“Class Tuning Incoming — November 10”) flags three fixes with no numbers and no time of day: Hunter pets and Warlock Voidwalkers are not durable enough as tanks; Affliction’s Wrack is so strong that always channeling it beats Siphon Life, Corruption and Bane of Agony, so those DoTs will be made worthwhile without changing Affliction’s total damage; and Enhancement Shaman Intellect/Spellpower currently beats Strength/Attack Power, so Strength will be made always strongest — leveling Enhancement Shamans should collect Strength/Attack Power gear now. Further Tuesday passes are planned, with a large pass once enough players pass level 30.
Server hotfix (datamined contents only) New
Blizzard posted no notes for this server hotfix. Datamined contents only: 172 new items found in the server-hotfix data, part of client build 1.60.1.70862 — dungeon epics and rares added to client files, including Robes of Insight, Scarlet Forgemaster’s Bindings, Cape of the Black Baron and Ritssyn’s Wand of Bad Mojo.
Hotfix 1.60.7c: talents, teleports and cooldowns New
The third post-launch hotfix in three days (build 71262, logged by Kaivax): Druid Bloom heals the correct target, Mage Research and Study spell progression fixed, Rogue Shank Rank 1 and 2 labels and Boot Knife combo points, Warlock Voidwalker base health up about 40 at all levels, Soul Siphon no longer makes Wrack scale itself, Cooldown Manager CC duration tracking, Maraudon Zaetar’s Spirit spawn fix, the Drowned City portal fix, Blackmaw Hold and Drowned City pathing fixes, and Dun Morogh trogg respawn and Durotar Ridgeshade Lurkers loot fixes.
Hotfix 1.60.7b: 36 fixes New
Blizzard shipped the second launch-week hotfix on November 6 (client build 1.60.1.70862): Voidwalker base health up about 40 at all levels, Soul Siphon and Wrack bug fix, Bloom healing fix, Tanning Rack requirement cut from 140 to 125, the Drowned City portal, and quest and dungeon fixes, plus druid tooltip corrections.
First launch-week hotfixes New
Blizzard shipped the first launch-week hotfixes on November 5: NPC respawn fixes (Yarrog Baneshadow, Pelluk, Dustwallow murlocs, Deathstalker Erland), the Zephras Isle Druid trainer now offers training, apprentice tradeskill bags back on Zephras vendors, Mild Spices now sell for 1 copper, and Plainsrunning no longer stacks in battleground preparation. Blizzard’s November 2 notes put class training from 1 to 60 at 206 to 207 gold for every class; the beta client showed Apprentice Riding at 100 gold. There is no WoW Token and no paid character boost.
WoW Forever launches
Live at 3:00 p.m. PST on November 4, included with an active WoW subscription or game time. Everyone starts at level 1. Launch-night queues stayed short, roughly 5 to 9 minutes.
Name reservation opens; Oceanic ruleset bug New
Name reservation opened October 27 for upgrade-pack buyers (3-character limit shared across rulesets). Oceanic players on Australian servers must create Roleplay / Roleplay-PvP characters FIRST: creating a Normal or PvP character first makes those rulesets disappear for remaining characters. Blizzard says an urgent fix is in progress.
Name filter over-blocks names with ‘con’ New
The restricted-name check was over-strict and blocked names containing “con” (e.g. Connor, Falcon, Deacon). Blizzard says the fix rolls out with the next realm restart per region.
Final racial tuning before launch
Blizzard’s final beta development notes roll back some generic racials to class- or role-flavoured ones; weapon-specialization racials stay out, for loot-table reasons. Human Ruthless drops 2% to 1% crit and Human Spirit rises 5% to 10%; Dwarves lose Earth Fury and gain Artisan’s Precision (+1% hit); Tauren Plainsrunning is buffed and Endurance simplified; Orcs lose Savage and Command returns (+5% Warlock and Hunter pet damage). An October 27 addendum adds: Orc Blood Fury cooldown 3 to 2 minutes; Troll Berserking 10 to 15 seconds; Undead Touch of the Grave internal cooldown 25 to 15 seconds; Skyborne Attuned and Charged persist through death but are removed on entering a raid.
Beta closes
The beta closed at 10:00 a.m. PDT, two days later than first planned after a two-day extension. Blizzard’s thank-you post says the team spends a few days on priority issues, then opens character creation October 27 and launches November 4. Nothing carries over.
Roleplay-PvP ruleset added for launch
Reversing its earlier position, Blizzard says the Roleplay-PvP ruleset arrives with the November 4 launch, and it plans to make it selectable when name reservation opens October 27.
Beta celebration and realm restart
A 24-hour last-day celebration ran in the starting zones (items and experiences not in the game after launch), and the beta realm restarted at 2:00 p.m. PDT.
Open stress test on live servers
Open to every WoW account with no subscription needed, 2:00–6:00 p.m. PDT on each region’s launch hardware. The beta went offline shortly before and returned after, and all stress-test characters, names and guilds were wiped.
Beta extended two days; Invite-A-Friend codes emailed
Blizzard extended the beta by two days — hence the October 23 close, not October 21 — and Invite-A-Friend launch codes began emailing to upgrade-pack buyers (1 code Heroic; 3 Epic or Collection; play window November 4–11).
The Forever Open: Warlockguy wins
In the community-run $100,000 level-30 Horde-only 1v1 duel tournament, Warlockguy (Warlock, 20th seed) beat Neepzen (Warlock) 3–1 in the grand final, winning the $50,000 champion prize and the “Death’s Duelist” title. Level-30 beta duels, not a level-60 balance verdict.
Weekly beta build 1.60.1.70425 and Paladin deep dive
Reworked racials, raid-wide auras, shouts and totems, Mage, Priest, Shaman and Warlock talent changes, weaker pet family abilities, Horde barred from the open-world Dalaran city (the dungeon stays open) and a new-player tutorial; plus the Paladin deep dive on Seals, Judgements and Holy, Protection and Retribution.
Beta build 70374
Spirit-healer durability loss halved, three new set bonuses, Penance and Reckoning changes, quest-reward retunes and gold-trade warnings.
Temporary Economy Holds
Blizzard’s October 13 post: accounts suspected of buying or selling gold lose trade, mail, guild bank and Auction House access while investigated. Full story on our Temporary Economy Holds story.
Faster-escalating bans for gold buyers New
In an interview with TechRadar, Blizzard said it has built penalties for gold buyers that escalate more quickly, up to “potential permanent bans”, backed by “new systems”. It also changed some Mage talents to make it harder for one player to farm an instance for gold or experience.
Beta adds the City of Dalaran dungeon
A beta build opened the new City of Dalaran dungeon for testing, raised creature experience in dungeons by about 20% and brought back weapon swaps within one global cooldown. Warcraft Tavern reports the level cap stays at 30 for the rest of the beta.
PvP ranks, Honor and seasons explained
Honor buys a blue and an epic PvP set, Rank Points climb the original ladder to High Warlord or Grand Marshal with a weekly cap, and each season has weekly journey tasks that also award Legacy Points.
Class deep dives: Rogue, Warlock, Mage and Shaman
Blizzard detailed the remaining class reworks: one-handed axes and stacking poisons for Rogues, pets that scale with Warlock stats, a Frostfire Bolt for Mages and faster totems without Elemental Mastery for Shamans. Dual Specialization unlocks at level 40.
Carries get their own LFG category
An undocumented beta change now makes you pick a playstyle when you list in the group finder, and carries have a category of their own.
Beta login errors and a Warrior rework
Blizzard acknowledged login problems for some beta testers (error BLZ51901016). Warriors also got a Fury tree rework, with Protection repositioned for PvP.
Blizzard steps up action on bots and gold buying
Blizzard said any account found generating, selling, buying or receiving illicit gold can lose the gold or face suspension or permanent closure. An in-game warning now appears when you trade with strangers, and enforcement continues after launch.
Beta level cap raised to 30
Blizzard took the beta down for maintenance and brought it back with a new build that lifts the cap from 20 to 30, adding a new dungeon, Excavation Site: Wetlands (levels 26–31). Level 60 and endgame raids stay out of the beta.
Class redesigns for Hunter, Druid, Priest and Warrior
Blizzard detailed reworks for all four classes, including a modified return of Druid powershifting.
Gold buyers, not just sellers, will be targeted
In a forum post, community manager Kaivax said Blizzard will increasingly act against buyers’ accounts: illicit gold will be removed from the recipient, and accounts that knowingly receive it can be closed.
Beta population cap raised again
Blizzard raised the beta’s population cap for a second time to keep up with demand. A senior designer called the turnout “the craziest numbers I’ve seen in 17 years working at Blizzard”.
Beta build adds gamepad support
A new beta build brought class tuning across seven classes, gamepad controller support and an optional Cooldown Manager. Blizzard said classic UI options will come through addons rather than built-in settings.
Beta goes live
The beta opened with a level 20 cap, the Skyborne race and its Zephras Isle starting zone, and two dungeons: Hall of Thanes (13–18) and Ruins of Lordaeron (15–20).
WoW Forever announced
Blizzard revealed Forever as a permanent level-60 “Classic+” version of WoW, launching November 4 with a new race, new zones, nine new dungeons and three raids.

WoW Forever Launch Facts
Launch weeks are the most volatile and scam-prone time to buy gold in any new MMO: prices swing, delivery slows and fake sites multiply. Our guide to buying gold during a new MMO launch explains what changes and how to protect yourself.
What's New in WoW Forever
Forever starts from the original 2004 world and adds to it. Here's what Blizzard has announced so far.
Skyborne
Playable on both factions: Windshapers (Horde) and High Order (Alliance). Starts on Zephras Isle (levels 1–12). Requires the Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher.
Mount Hyjal & more
Mount Hyjal, Shen'dralas, Riverglades, Tearsfall Glades and the Zephras Isle starting area, all fitted into the classic world.
Nine new dungeons
Spanning levels 13–60, including Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Drown City (35–40) off the Stranglethorn coast, and a dungeon under Dalaran.
Three raid sizes
Barrow Deeps (10), Hyjal Summit (20) and Onyxia's Lair (40), with tier gear from all three. Molten Core isn't planned for launch.
New race and class combos
The nine original classes, now with combinations like Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock and Undead Paladin.
Darkspear Islands
A new 15v15 battleground built around capturing control points.
Legacy, camping & crafting
Legacy perks that carry across your alts, campsites that give profession buffs, and 600+ new crafting recipes.
Normal, PvP, RP, RP-PvP & Hardcore
You pick a ruleset instead of a realm. Roleplay-PvP arrives with launch; Hardcore (one life) arrives after launch.
WoW Forever vs Classic vs Retail
How the three versions of World of Warcraft compare on the things that matter most to players and buyers.
| Forever | Classic Era | Retail | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level cap | 60, permanently | 60 | Rises each expansion |
| New content | New zones, dungeons, raids, race | Original 2004–06 content only | New expansions and patches |
| Flying mounts | No | No | Yes |
| Level scaling | No | No | Yes |
| WoW Token | No | Varies by Classic version | Yes |
| Paid character boosts | No | Varies by Classic version | Yes |
| Cross-faction groups | No | No | Yes |
| Dungeon finder | No, group listings only | No | Yes |
| Raid sizes | Fixed 10, 20 and 40 | 20 and 40 | Flexible |
| Access | All three are included with one WoW subscription or game time | ||
Why it matters for gold: with no WoW Token and no paid boosts, Forever has no official way to turn real money into gold or levels. Blizzard has also reportedly said gold-bid (GDKP) raids won't be allowed. That usually means strong demand for gold, and close attention from Blizzard on anyone trading it.
Anyone selling beta "keys" or "invites" is running a scam. Digital beta access is attached to your Battle.net account, not a code you can buy from a third party.
What Happened to Gold at Past Classic Launches
Nobody can predict WoW Forever gold prices before launch. But Blizzard's recent Classic launches show a clear pattern that's worth knowing before you spend anything.
Classic launch: sellers back within weeks
WoW Classic launched in late August 2019. By mid-September, gold-selling spam and bots were already widespread in game, despite Blizzard's bans.
Wrath Classic: mass bans at launch
Around the Wrath of the Lich King Classic launch, Blizzard banned roughly 120,000 accounts and restricted Death Knight creation to slow down bad actors.
Season of Discovery: gold-bid raids banned
From February 8, 2024, Blizzard banned GDKP raids in Season of Discovery to cut demand for bought gold. Forever is reportedly following the same rule.
What that means for Forever
- Prices are usually highest in the first weeks, when gold is scarce and everyone wants their first mount. They tend to settle as more players reach level 60.
- Enforcement is usually heaviest at launch. Blizzard has a track record of ban waves in the first weeks of a new Classic version.
- Fake sellers peak too. Expect "pre-order" gold and instant level-60 accounts the moment the game goes live. Neither can be real on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does WoW Forever launch?
Blizzard announced World of Warcraft: Forever at BlizzCon 2026 and launched it on November 4, 2026. It is a permanent third version of the game alongside Retail and Classic, built on the original Azeroth with a level cap that stays at 60.
Can I buy WoW Forever gold right now?
Yes — AOEAH lists live WoW Forever gold (1G $2.49 at our November 8, 2026 check), Alliance and Horde, delivered by in-game mail or face-to-face trade. AOEAH says it never asks for a game password. Treat level-60 accounts and instant-delivery promises as scam signals, and check the live price before paying.
Is there a WoW Forever beta?
Yes. The beta opened on September 17, 2026 and closed on October 23, 2026. It started at a level 20 cap, which was raised to 30 on October 1, and nothing carries over to launch. Access is included with the Skyborne Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection pre-orders, and players could also opt in for a chance to be selected.
Do I need to buy WoW Forever separately?
No. Blizzard says Forever is included with an active World of Warcraft subscription or game time. Optional upgrade packs add rewards such as cosmetics and the new Skyborne race.
Is it safe to buy WoW Forever gold after launch?
Blizzard's terms prohibit trading game currency for real money, and for Forever it has said it will act against buyers, not just sellers: illicit gold can be removed and accounts suspended or closed (forum posts of September 28 and October 1, 2026), and on October 8 it said penalties will escalate faster, up to permanent bans. Launch weeks are also the most scam-prone window for gold buyers. Read our guide on buying gold during a new MMO launch before you spend anything.
When will MMODude list WoW Forever gold sellers?
AOEAH lists live WoW Forever gold now — see the gold sellers section above. Until more reviewed vendors list launch gold, see our World of Warcraft and WoW Classic pages for vendors we have already researched.
Will WoW Forever have a WoW Token?
No. Blizzard has said WoW Forever won't have the WoW Token, and there are no paid character boosts either, so there's no official way to turn real money into gold or levels.
Are GDKP raids allowed in WoW Forever?
Blizzard has reportedly said gold-bid (GDKP) raids won't be allowed in Forever, the same rule it introduced in Season of Discovery in 2024.
When do WoW Forever raids open?
Raids unlock on December 9, 2026, five weeks after launch: Barrow Deeps (10-player), Hyjal Summit (20-player) and Onyxia's Lair (40-player).
