Deep Dive · WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVERRealmless Azeroth: rulesets replace realm lists
Forever moves beyond traditional realm lists. Ruleset, region and language preference will shape where players meet.
Realm selection is changing
Players will no longer choose one realm from a long list. Instead, they select a ruleset. Blizzard has named Normal, PvP and Roleplaying, with Hardcore planned after launch.
Regional identity remains
Characters will use two-part names that are unique within their game region. Blizzard aims to connect larger populations while preserving the familiarity of recognizable names.
Language becomes a preference
Players can select a language preference and should encounter more people who share it. For international groups, the game region remains a separate technical layer.
