The game
World of Warcraft: Forever roadmap
The plan and the dates are Blizzard's and may change. Our own dates are separate: they depend on how the core is coming along.
Name reservation
Character creation and name reservation before the world opens.
Release
The full road to level 60: new and extended zones, nine dungeons, more than a thousand quests, the legacy system, camping and transmog.
First raids
Max-level raids open and Onyxia's Lair returns.
Hardcore
A separate world with one life and its own community.
Further updates
New raids, dungeons and zones, a PvP season update, more professions and legacy content.
Our plan
The Nivord path
Right now we are going through the beta client and finishing the core. Next come the starting zones, a closed invite-only test and the server launch.
Dates will be announced in the news.
