For first-timers and for the “one more character” crowd.
Reviewed November 6, 2026. Forever is live. Released fixes and announced plans are separate below; these highlights are not a performance ranking.
Blizzard corrected Bloom healing, Arcane Blast’s duration and several class tooltips. Voidwalkers gain about 40 base Health; Soul Siphon no longer lets Wrack increase its own damage.
Racial fixes correct excess Orc Command benefit to some Warlock pet abilities. Shadowmelded Druids no longer gain unintended Ravage and Pounce access. The November 5 fixes also prevent Plainsrunning stacks during battleground preparation or while carrying a flag, and clear existing stacks on flag pickup.
Official November 5–6 hotfixes
Announced November 6, 2026: Blizzard plans tougher Hunter pets and Voidwalkers, changes to Affliction’s Wrack and damage-over-time balance, and Strength/Attack Power gearing for Enhancement. Leveling Enhancement players are advised to collect that gear now. The tuning is still planned and may change.
Read Blizzard’s planned tuning
Blizzard’s November 2 launch-preparation notes raised class damage alongside higher-level creature health. A buff alone cannot tell you which class you will enjoy.
Your class profile explains its relevant changes. Quiz scores still reflect your preferences; racial bonuses do not raise them.
NEW IN FOREVER
The original game kept these races and classes apart. Forever doesn’t. (Every Skyborne pairing is new too, since the race itself is.)
FOREVER’S OWN PEOPLE
Sky elves, new to Forever, descended from the Highborne. The High Order kept the old arcane magic, and the Windshapers made a pact with the wind spirits. Either way, you pick from nine skin tones:
Illustrative palette based on Blizzard’s description, not exact in-game colors.
Then weave feathers into the hair in any color, add body and face tattoos, and pick one of three ear lengths. Skyborne druids get forms of their own.
Skyborne need the Skyborne Heroic Pack or a higher edition. Blizzard’s Skyborne reveal
THE TWO SIDES
You can only group with your own side, so this one matters if friends are waiting. Otherwise, pick the side whose people you like.
Human knights, dwarf explorers, gnome inventors and night elf sentinels, now joined by the High Order Skyborne. They share a long history, and a longer argument about who’s in charge.
Orcs, tauren, Darkspear trolls and the Forsaken, now joined by the Windshaper Skyborne. Most of them were outcasts somewhere else first.
The quiz never picks a side because of your personality. Your side comes from the race that fits you, or from where your friends already are.
