Your first steps in WoW Forever

Five short steps: where to play, your side and race, your class, your first levels and the tools for your plan. Your answers stay in the link, so you can come back to them or share them.

Step 1 of 5

Where will you play?

There is no realm list: you pick a rulesetRuleset What Forever has instead of realms: Normal, PvP, Roleplay and later Hardcore. Each one is a single big world per region, split into layers., and everyone on it in your region shares one world. A character cannot change ruleset later (HardcoreHardcore A ruleset where death is permanent: a character who dies there can only be resurrected by moving to another ruleset. Forever’s Hardcore ruleset opens after launch. ones only after they die), so choose with your friends.

HardcoreComes after launchThis challenging ruleset features permanent player character death. Dead characters may transfer to other rulesets to be resurrected.

Help me choose

Four quick questions. The rulesets that fit light up above.

Are you joining friends or a guild that already chose?
Should other players be able to attack you almost anywhere?
Do you want to roleplay, with in-character names and behavior rules?
Will you play characters on both factions?

Open at launch

  • PvP (ES: JcJ)
  • Normal
  • Roleplay (ES: Juego de rol)

Answer the questions to see which ruleset fits.

Every ruleset side by side

Step 2 of 5

Which side and race?

Alliance and Horde can’t group, trade or talk with each other, so the side your friends play decides most of it. Your race sets where you start and its racial traits.

Step 3 of 5

Which class?

Your class decides how you fight and what you can do for a group. Every class has its talents rebuilt in Forever.

Help me choose a classFive questions; the answer comes from each class’s own data.
How do you want to fight?
Do you want a pet at your side?
Do you want to move unseen?
Heal or tank for a group later?
Heavy armor (mail or plate)?

Answer any question to see the classes that fit.

Step 4 of 5

What do the first levels bring?

Quests carry you through a string of zones for your level, and every few levels something new opens. Set your level to see what comes next.
