探索全新与重新构想的区域
《魔兽世界:永恒》通过全新与重新构想的区域以及1至60级旅程中超过1000个新任务,扩展了东部王国和卡利姆多。探索新目的地,包括海加尔山、申德拉拉斯、河畔之地和泽弗拉斯岛。
海加尔山邀请你探索阿克蒙德败亡后的余波,穿越暗语峡谷,帮助塑造一片正在恢复的土地的未来。在申德拉拉斯,莫高雷与凄凉之地之间一处长期隐藏的谜团将成为一段新冒险,与申德拉、埃雷德拉斯、厄运之槌以及该地区的半人马部族息息相关。
在河畔之地,你将发现一片崎岖的边境,这里有河流、草原、贸易路线、苦苦挣扎的社区和旧日恩怨,在30级中期至40级中期的大部分经验内容中拥有超过150个新任务。在泽弗拉斯岛,你将开始一段1至12级的元素天空主题起始体验,融合经典魔兽世界的美学与受天空之墙启发的建筑风格。
在《魔兽世界:永恒》中创造你想要的英雄
种族与职业塑造你在《魔兽世界:永恒》中成为的英雄,从你所体现的幻想风格到你在世界中承担的角色。你可以回到熟悉的最爱,探索新开放的组合,或以天裔角色开始旅程;每种选择都提供不同方式踏入艾泽拉斯的下一章。
天裔是《魔兽世界:永恒》中的新可玩种族,为逐步展开的故事带来自身身份。选择扮演这个新种族时,玩家可在部落阵营的塑风者(可成为萨满祭司)或联盟阵营的高阶天裔(可成为法师)之间选择。
《魔兽世界:永恒》开辟新的角色打造方式,包括兽人法师、巨魔术士、亡灵圣骑士、人类猎人、侏儒牧师、矮人萨满祭司,以及天裔的首次登场。探索各种可能,并在我们的文章中了解更多。
认识新的天裔
天裔——又称申多雷,即隐秘之民——是《魔兽世界:永恒》中的新可玩种族。他们的旅程从泽弗拉斯岛开始,这是一段1至12级的起始体验,融合经典魔兽美学、元素建筑,以及由风与先祖塑造的故事。创建角色时,你将选择你的天裔加入自豪的部落还是高贵的联盟。
在我们此前发布的文章中了解天裔。
选择你的体验预设
首次登录《魔兽世界:永恒》时,你会被要求“选择你的体验预设”。你将在选择规则集之前做出此选择。
经典
更传统的呈现方式,视觉更简洁,采用标准角色模型,并默认启用更少的现代界面功能,以获得更干净、更接近原版风格的体验,且自动引导更少。
初始设置:
标准清晰度角色模型
任务兴趣点和目标区域标记关闭
整合背包关闭
幻化关闭
默认将镜头转向设为键盘按键绑定
经典屏幕界面布局
增强
更新后的呈现方式,具有更高视觉保真度,并默认启用更多界面功能。
初始设置:
高清角色模型
任务兴趣点和目标区域标记开启
整合背包开启
幻化开启
默认将侧移设为键盘按键绑定
居中屏幕界面布局
如果你不确定该选择哪一个,请先从“增强”开始。该预设只是为你提供一个便捷的起点,并不会锁定你的选择,你之后可以在游戏菜单 > 选项下更改其各项设置。首次登录游戏后,你将不再看到此界面。
每次创建新角色时,你可以选择高清(HD)或标准(SD)角色模型和动画。HD使用更高细节的模型和更新后的视觉效果,而SD则提供与《魔兽世界》最初外观相关的风格。这一角色专属选择仅影响外观——不影响能力或成长——你之后可以在选项菜单中更改,或在游戏内拜访理发店。
选择你的规则集
每一次穿越艾泽拉斯的旅程,都始于你对想要踏入何种世界的选择。在《魔兽世界:Forever》中,你的旅程始于规则集,而非传统的服务器选择界面。
你不必在创建角色前挑选“正确”的服务器,而是选择你在《魔兽世界:Forever》中想要的体验类型。每个规则集都作为一个广泛的玩家生态系统运作,而非单一的传统服务器,让你更容易找到与你偏好玩法相同的人,同时保留艾泽拉斯鲜活活跃的感觉。
普通:此规则集让你专注于冒险和与怪物战斗,同时允许你自行决定是否与其他玩家战斗。
PvP:此规则集让你专注于玩家对玩家战斗;你几乎始终面临被对立玩家攻击的风险。
角色扮演:此规则集对有兴趣沉浸于奇幻世界角色扮演的玩家设有严格的命名规范和行为规则。
角色扮演PvP:此规则集对有兴趣沉浸于以玩家对玩家战斗为核心的奇幻世界角色扮演的玩家设有严格的命名规范和行为规则;你几乎始终面临被对立角色攻击的风险。
对于寻求终极挑战、每个决定都至关重要且死亡会带来持久后果的玩家,硬核规则集将在上线后的某个时间开放。
了解更多关于规则集的信息,请参阅我们此前发布的文章。
创建你自己的名字
名字是创建角色时最先做出的选择之一。它可以幽默、英勇、神秘、极具个人意义,或者只有与你并肩冒险多年的朋友才懂。在《魔兽世界:Forever》中,角色名字将通过全新的双名结构获得更多发挥空间,这一结构专为更大、无服务器界限的艾泽拉斯而设计。
每个角色不再依赖绑定于特定服务器的单一名字,而是拥有两个名字。这两部分共同组成一个在区域内独一无二的全名,为那些想要契合自己在艾泽拉斯中的角色、历史或故事的玩家创造更多可能性。了解更多请参阅我们此前发布的文章。
用露营系统安营扎寨
《魔兽世界:Forever》中的露营系统将烹饪专业的初级营火变为共享营地,冒险者可以在此休息、准备并建立联系。附近的玩家最多可以贡献三个由专业制作的营地功能,每位玩家添加一个。在营地坐下或制作至少1分钟,即可获得其营地功能带来的增益,包括与对应职业增益互斥的效果。在重新踏上旅途前,花点时间结识 fellow adventurers。
通过传承系统取得进展
《魔兽世界:Forever》引入了一个令人兴奋的全新账号通用水平 progression 系统——传承系统。这是一种全新的成长方式,专注于探索游戏提供的一切,而不仅仅是力量提升。
这一新系统鼓励玩家升级不同职业和专业技能的多个角色,并再次体验这段旅程,不过并不需要升级小号才能从系统中获益。所有角色优势都可以在单个角色上解锁。传承系统包含三个主要组成部分:传承挑战、传承特权和传承奖励。了解更多请参阅我们的概览文章。
地下城与团队副本
探索《魔兽世界:Forever》的新地下城
《魔兽世界:永恒》为13级至60级的冒险者带来了九个全新的五人地下城。这些地下城扎根于《魔兽世界》原版,每一个都为东部王国和卡利姆多带来了新的威胁、任务和冒险。在我们此前发布的文章中了解更多关于每个新增内容的信息。
《魔兽世界:永恒》团队副本概览
《魔兽世界:永恒》邀请冒险者深入艾泽拉斯,熟悉的地方蕴藏着新的挑战和等待被发现的故事。12月9日,60级玩家可以在三个团队副本中考验他们的准备、团队合作和职业掌握程度:荒芜之地深渊、海加尔山峰和奥妮克希亚的巢穴。在我们的概览文章中了解更多关于这些团队副本的信息,以及首次进入奥妮克希亚的巢穴所需的条件。
玩家对玩家
暗矛群岛之战
在尘泥沼泽海岸外坐落着暗矛群岛,一场新的战斗正在那里成形。在这个15对15的战场中,暗矛突袭者和塞拉摩远征军为争夺战略据点、中央旗帜以及为阵营而战者的奖励而交锋。在我们此前发布的文章中了解更多信息,做好战斗准备。
《魔兽世界:永恒》中的PvP进度系统如何运作
无论你是与阵营一起冲入战场,还是将目光投向长期的PvP(玩家对玩家)目标,《魔兽世界:永恒》都为每一场对决带来了焕然一新的目标感。这种方式让玩家在整个赛季中有更多理由参与其中,同时保留了定义原版《魔兽世界》PvP的竞争精神。从我们此前发布的文章中获取更多关于未来战斗的情报。

Explore New and Reimagined Zones
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.
Mount Hyjal invites you to explore the aftermath of Archimonde’s defeat, journey through Darkwhisper Gorge, and help shape the future of a recovering land. In Shen'dralas, a long-hidden mystery between Mulgore and Desolace becomes a new adventure tied to the Shen’dralar, Eldre’Thalas, Dire Maul, and the centaur tribes of the region.
In the Riverglades, you’ll discover a rugged frontier of rivers, grasslands, trade routes, struggling communities, and old grudges, with more than 150 new quests across much of the mid-30s to mid-40s experience. On Zephras Isle, you’ll begin an elemental skybound starting experience from levels 1 through 12, blending Classic Warcraft aesthetics with architecture inspired by Skywall.
Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever
Race and class shape the hero you become in World of Warcraft: Forever, from the fantasy you embody to the role you take on in the world. You can return to a familiar favorite, explore a newly available combination, or begin your journey as a Skyborne character, with each choice offering a different way to step into Azeroth’s next chapter.
The Skyborne are a new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever, bringing their own identity to the unfolding story. When choosing to play this new race, players can choose between Horde-aligned Windshapers which can become Shaman, or an Alliance-aligned High-Order Skyborne which can become Mages.
World of Warcraft: Forever opens new ways to build your character, including Orc Mages, Troll Warlocks, Undead Paladins, Human Hunters, Gnome Priests, Dwarf Shamans, and the debut of the Skyborne. Explore the possibilities and learn more in our article.
Meet the New Skyborne
The Skyborne—also known as the shen’dorei, or hidden people—are a new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever. Their journey begins on Zephras Isle, a level 1–12 starting experience that blends classic Warcraft aesthetics with elemental architecture and a story shaped by wind and ancestry. At character creation, you’ll choose whether your Skyborne joins the proud Horde or the noble Alliance.
Get to know the Skyborne in our previously published article.
Select Your Experience Preset
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 Defiition 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
If you are not sure which to choose, start with Enhanced. The preset gives you a convenient starting point rather than locking in your choices, and you can change its individual settings later under Game Menu > Options. 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.
Choose Your Ruleset
Every journey through Azeroth begins with a choice about the kind of world you want to step into. In World of Warcraft: Forever, your journey starts with a Ruleset rather than a traditional realm-selection screen.
Instead of picking the “right” realm before creating a character, you choose the kind of experience you want in World of Warcraft: Forever. Each Ruleset functions as a broad player ecosystem rather than a single traditional realm, making it easier to find others who share your preferred playstyle while preserving the feeling of a living, active Azeroth.
Normal: This ruleset allows you to focus on adventuring and fighting monsters while allowing you to fight other players at your own discretion.
PvP: This ruleset allows you to focus on player versus player combat; you are almost always at risk of being attacked by opposing players.
Roleplay: This ruleset has strict naming conventions and behavior rules for players interested in immersing themselves as a character in a fantasy-based world.
Roleplay PvP: This ruleset has strict naming conventions and behavior rules for players interested in immersing themselves as a character in a fantasy-based world focused on player versus player combat; you are almost always at risk of being attacked by opposing characters.
For players seeking the ultimate challenge, where every decision matters and death carries lasting consequences, the Hardcore ruleset will become available sometime after launch.
Learn more about rulesets in our previously published article.
Create a Name of Your Own
A name is one of the first choices you make when creating a character. It can be humorous, heroic, mysterious, deeply personal, or something that only makes sense to the friends who have adventured with you for years. In World of Warcraft: Forever, character names gain more room to breathe through a new two-name structure designed for a larger, realmless Azeroth.
Instead of relying on a single name tied to a specific realm, each character will have two names. Together, those parts form a full name that is unique within a region, creating more possibilities for players who want something that fits their character, history, or story in Azeroth. Learn more in our previously published article.
Set Up Camp with the Camping System
The Camping system in World of Warcraft: Forever turns the Cooking profession’s Basic Campfire into a shared campsite where adventurers can rest, prepare, and connect. Nearby players can contribute up to three profession-crafted Camp Features, with each player adding one. Sit or craft at a campsite for at least 1 minute to gain benefits from its Camp Features, including buffs that are mutually exclusive with their corresponding class buffs. Take a moment to meet fellow adventurers before returning to the road. Learn more in our previously published overview article.
Progress 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. The Legacy System has three major components: Legacy Challenges, Legacy Perks, and Legacy Rewards. Learn more in our overview article.
Dungeons and Raids
Explore the New Dungeons of World of Warcraft: Forever
World of Warcraft: Forever introduces nine new five-player dungeons for adventurers from level 13 through level 60. Rooted in the original World of Warcraft, each dungeon brings new threats, quests, and adventures to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Learn more about each of the new additions in our previously published article.
World of Warcraft: Forever Raid Overview
World of Warcraft: Forever invites adventurers to journey deeper into Azeroth, where familiar places hold new challenges and stories waiting to be discovered. On December 9, level 60 players can put their preparation, teamwork, and mastery of their classes to the test in three raids: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit, and Onyxia’s Lair. Learn more about each of these raids and what you’ll need to do to enter Onyxia’s Lair for the first time in our overview article.
Player versus Player
Battle for the Darkspear Islands
Off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh lies the Darkspear Islands, where a new battle is taking shape. In this 15 versus 15 battleground the Darkspear Raiders and Theramore Expeditionary Force clash for control of strategic footholds, a central flag, and the rewards waiting for those willing to fight for their faction. Get battle ready by learning more in our previously published article.
How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works
Whether you’re charging into battlegrounds with your faction or setting your sights on long-term PvP (Player vs. Player) goals, World of Warcraft: Forever brings a refreshed sense of purpose to every match-up. This approach gives players more reasons to take part throughout the season while preserving the spirit of competition that defined PvP in the original World of Warcraft.
