World of Forever is the guide name I use for World of Warcraft: Forever, the permanent level-60 branch Blizzard put beside Retail and Classic. The public product page and the 4 Nov “now live” post agree on the shape: the cap stays at 60, the old continents are rebuilt, and new zones, dungeons and a new race sit on top of that cap.

On 12 Nov 2026 I read the public product page, the now-live post and the 11 Nov hotfix. I keep five facts on the first screen: what the game is, the 4 Nov 2026 15:00 PST launch, that play is included with an active WoW subscription, version 1.60.1 as shown on Wowhead guide sidebars that day, and the 11 Nov hotfix. I do not print a live player count. The product page does not publish one.
