Blizzard has closed more than 2,100 gold-buying accounts and almost 1,600 accounts tied to selling or botting during the World of Warcraft: Forever beta. Senior Game Designer Josh Greenfield shared the figures in the official podcast, while saying the stricter approach will continue after launch.
In short
- Accounts: over 2,100 buyers and almost 1,600 sellers or bots
- Dungeon: City of Dalaran is open in beta
- XP: creature kills in dungeons grant roughly 20% more
- Schedule: beta ends October 21, launch follows November 4
The same beta build opened the City of Dalaran dungeon and raised creature-kill XP inside dungeons by roughly 20%. Blizzard also restored the Classic Era calculation for lower-level enemies: the penalty now looks at each party member separately. A vastly overleveled character can still prevent the whole group from earning XP.
A new trade warning is also planned. It will remind players to accept gold only from people they trust, reducing the chance of being pulled into an RMT chain through a suspicious trade or mail attachment.
The closed beta ends on October 21, with launch set for November 4. Our earlier beta report covers access and the previous dungeon lineup, while the game page tracks both dates.
