在《魔兽世界：永恒》中重返艾泽拉斯

World of Warcraft: Forever begins a new journey through a reimagined original world, with new zones, quests, dungeons, systems, and character options designed to expand the adventure while preserving its foundational character. If you’re returning to Azeroth, we’ve got what you need to get you started on your path. Where Your Story Begins WoW: Forever begins in the early “Year 1” period of original World of Warcraft, before Kazzak reopened the Dark Portal and before later journeys to places like Northrend reshaped the timeline. The game is built from the original level 1–60 world, expanding events, characters, and locations that exist—or could have existed—within that foundational era. This opens up new opportunities to delve into previously undeveloped areas, experience new tales, and travel roads yet untaken. Discover What Awaits in WoW: Forever Explore New and Reimagined Lands WoW: Forever expands the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor with new and reimagined zones and more than 1,000 new quests across the level 1–60 journey. Explore new destinations including Mount Hyjal, Shen’dralas, the Riverglades, and Zephras Isle. Brave Nine New Dungeons Nine new five-player dungeons span levels 13–60 across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Each adds new threats, quests, and stories rooted in the original world. Eastern Kingdoms: Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Excavation Site, City of Dalaran, The Drowned City, and Krol’dok Stronghold. Kalimdor: Alcaz Prison, Blackmaw Hold, and Shaper’s Terrace. Read the previously published dungeon overview for locations, level ranges, access notes, and story details. New Class and Race Combinations Your favorite race or class may still be waiting for you, but WoW: Forever also opens combinations that were not available in original World of Warcraft: Alliance: Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman, and Gnome Priest. Horde: Orc Mage, Troll Warlock, and Undead Paladin. The Skyborne race adds more choices. This new playable race can join either the Alliance or the Horde at character creation, with unique racial abilities depending on that choice, and begins in the level 1–12 Zephras Isle starting zone. Skyborne can be Druids, Hunters, Rogues, and Warriors; Alliance-aligned Skyborne can also be Mages, while Horde-aligned Skyborne can also be Shaman. Skyborne access requires the purchase of the Heroic Pack or higher digital upgrades. Make Every Part of the Journey Count with the Legacy System World of Warcraft: Forever introduces an exciting new account-wide horizontal progression system—the Legacy System. It’s a whole new way to progress, focusing on exploring everything the game has to offer, rather than power progression alone. This new system encourages players to level multiple characters of different classes and tradeskills and experience the journey all over again, however leveling alternate (alts) characters is not required to benefit from the system. All character advantages can be unlocked on a single character. Take a closer look in our previously published article. Progress Through the Updated PvP System Whether you’re charging into battlegrounds with your faction or setting your sights on long-term PvP goals, World of Warcraft: Forever brings a refreshed sense of purpose to every match-up. Players earn Honor and Rank points through battlegrounds, PvP quests, weekly seasonal tasks, and other PvP activities; battleground holiday weeks provide additional gains. Learn more in our previously published PvP progression overview. Battle for the Darkspear Islands Darkspear Islands is a new 15 versus 15 battleground off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh for levels 30–60. Teams earn points by controlling four capture points and securing a central flag; the first team reaching 2,000 points wins. Players can build reputation with the Darkspear Raiders or Theramore Expeditionary Force to unlock faction rewards. Read the previously published Darkspear Islands battleground overview for more information. See Azeroth the Way You Remember It The first time you log in to World of Warcraft: Forever, you’ll be asked to Choose Your Experience Preset. You’ll make this choice before selecting your Ruleset. Classic A more traditional presentation with simpler visuals, standard character models, and fewer modern interface features enabled by default for a cleaner, more original-style experience with less automatic guidance. Starting Settings: Standard Definition character models Quest points of interest and objective blobs off One-bag off Transmog off Defaulted to camera turning keyboard binds Classic screen UI layout Enhanced An updated presentation with higher visual fidelity and additional interface features enabled by default. Starting Settings: High Definition character models Quest points of interest and objective blobs on One-bag on Transmog on Defaulted strafe movement to keyboard binds Centralized screen UI layout You can change the selection later or fine-tune your experience in the Options Menu under System – Preset. After your initial log in to the game, you will no longer see this screen. Each time you create a new character, you can select either High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD) character models and animations. HD uses higher-detail models and updated visuals, while SD offers the style associated with the original look of World of Warcraft. This character-specific choice affects only appearance—not abilities or progression—and you can change it later in the Options Menu or by visiting a Barbershop in game. Make a Name for Yourself—Twice In WoW: Forever, every character has a two-part name, similar to a first name and surname. The complete combination must be unique within your region, giving you more room to carry forward a favorite name or build a new identity. Use the second name to build identity. It can suggest a family, place, reputation, title, guild theme, or connection among alternate characters. Follow the naming policy. Both parts are evaluated together and must comply with the in-game Code of Conduct. Have a backup. Full-name combinations are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. Adjust how it appears. You can hide your secondary name above your character through Nameplates options, although it still appears in chat. Learn more in the previously published character-naming overview. Choose How You Want to Experience Azeroth Instead of choosing from a long list of realms, players select a Ruleset that matches how they want to experience Azeroth. Each Ruleset operates as its own large ecosystem for grouping, dungeons, raids, and community. Normal: Focus on adventuring and fighting monsters, with player-versus-player combat available at your discretion. PvP: Focus on player-versus-player combat, with the risk of being attacked by opposing players through much of the open world. Roleplay: Enter a community with naming and behavior rules intended for players who want to immerse themselves as characters in a fantasy world. Roleplay-PvP: Join an immersive roleplaying community while also facing the danger of open-world conflict with the opposing faction. Hardcore (coming later): Take on a high-stakes challenge where every decision matters and a character’s journey can end with death. Additional details and timing will be shared later. Make sure you coordinate with your friends and guild before creating your character to play in the same Ruleset and faction to group, run dungeons, and raid together. Review our previously published Ruleset overview before organizing a guild or friend group.
