Europe gets access at 17:00 UTC, followed by North America at 20:00 UTC. The window closes November 3, and Blizzard will not guarantee that every requested name remains available.

Reservation access comes with the Skyborne Heroic Pack, Skyborne Epic Pack, and Warcraft Forever Collection. Eligible accounts can prepare up to three characters in total across PvP, Normal, and Role-Play rulesets.

Forever uses a two-part naming system built for its realmless structure. A complete name must be unique across a region rather than one server. Players may hide the second part above their character, but it remains visible in chat. The extra field creates more combinations without removing the first-come rule.

Characters and guilds from the earlier stress test will be wiped. Names reserved from October 27 are the ones intended for the November 4 launch.

Both dates are listed on the World of Warcraft: Forever page.
