WoW Forever launch info
Checklist for stress tests and launch week. We keep dates out of the URL so a slip does not break links.
What to watch
- Public stress / load tests announced by Blizzard (time zones vary).
- Character name reservation window before realms go live.
- Realm list and queue expectations on launch day.
Provisional timeline notes
Community calendars have pointed at a late-October public test and an early-November Forever launch, with a name-reservation window shortly before go-live. These dates move. Always confirm against official Blizzard posts before you rearrange work or raid nights.
