Thursday November 5 at 00:00 Spanish time (Wednesday November 4, 15:00 PST). In Mexico it's Wednesday the 4th at 17:00, and in Chile and Argentina the 4th at 20:00. More →

No: everyone starts at level 1. The level cap is 60 from day one. More →

No. Whatever you leveled in the beta doesn't carry over: everyone starts from scratch. More →

On December 9: Barrow Deeps (10 players), Hyjal Summit (20) and Onyxia's Lair (40). More →

Blizzard's minimum is an AMD GCN 1 (2012), NVIDIA Maxwell (2014) or Intel Skylake (2015) graphics card, or newer. To check yours on Windows: Settings › System › Display › Advanced display. More →

You only need a subscription or game time: from €12.99 a month (€10.99 a month paying 6 or 12 months). The packs are optional. More →

No. The Heroic pack (€29.99) is only needed to play the new race (Skyborne) and to reserve names; the Epic pack adds 30 days of game time. More →

The 6 or 12 month subscription is the cheapest in the long run; to try it without commitment, a 60-day card. More →

The Heroic pack comes with 1 invite code; the Epic pack and the Collection, 3. They arrive by email from October 20. Your friend plays free from November 4 to 11 (Pacific time). The codes can't be used to gift the game. More →

It depends on what you enjoy: we compare all nine (difficulty, leveling, groups and PvP) so you can pick in two minutes. More →

Each class guide lists its recommended races, and the races page has every Forever racial. More →

There are no realms: each character has a first and last name, and the combination must be unique across the region. Names count across all rulesets. More →

On PvP rules you can be attacked in the open world; on Normal, only if you choose to. There are also RP and RP-PvP rules. More →

Yes: Options › Nameplates › My Secondary Name. It hides it above your character, but it still shows in chat. Several characters can share the same last name. More →

Yes. At the transmogrifier you can switch it off completely and see everyone in their real gear. Classic Mode turns it off for you, but you keep collecting appearances. Collections stay hidden until you find what is in them.

Dungeon quests, Well Fed food, the Cozy Sleeping Bag, logging out in an inn and the Well Rested Legacy perk. All five are explained. More →

Yes: Questie marks quests on the map, and RestedXP or Polestar guide you step by step. We checked which ones already work in Forever. More →

Each class guide has the point-by-point talent order from 10 to 60, checked against the Forever tree. More →

At level 40: 100 gold for riding and about 20 for the mount (at 60, 1,000 and about 200; it is not yet clear whether the first mount is included). Honored with your faction takes 10% off. Warlocks and paladins get theirs with a quest. More →

In the beta, 25% durability on all your gear (it was 50% in Classic). Resurrection Sickness works the same as always. If your corpse is close, running back to it is still cheaper.

While leveling, two gathering ones (they pay for your mount); later, any crafting one you like. There's a 1 to 300 guide for all twelve. More →

Gathering and selling on the auction house is the safest. Note: Forever has nerfed Classic tricks, like vendoring wands. More →

Not reliable ones yet: Blizzard hides loot until someone gets it. We list the trinkets and key items that are known. More →

Account-wide perks you earn with achievements and share across all your characters: faster leveling, cheaper flights, more honor… More →

On top of the perks, there are prizes for the points your account earns, spent or not: 15 gets the Replica Ironforge Air Rifle toy, 25 the Spectral Bear Cub pet, 40 the Spectral Bear Tabard and 55 the epic mount Reins of the Spectral Bear. You collect them from Wiley the innkeeper in Ratchet. Without the 12 PvP challenges you top out at 53, so the mount needs some PvP. Seen in the beta and in guides: Blizzard hasn't published the list. More →

Yes. Points are earned account-wide, but each character spends them its own way, and they can be reset. In the beta a reset cost 10 gold (not confirmed for launch). A plan that works: while leveling, put everything into Professions to make gold and level your crafts; at 60, reset and switch to what you'll actually do (more honor or more reputation). Note that Dedicated Study (+1 to your lowest profession) could only be used once every 24 hours in the beta. More →

The basics that work in Forever (Questie, Auctionator, bags…) plus the PvP and Forever addons we recommend. More →

Techniques expert players use to move and fight at the same time. We explain them all, with keybinds. More →

Fast riding, level 60 dungeons, reputations and getting ready for the December 9 raids. It's all in order. More →

For a second screen: Travelcraft (wow-travelcraft.com), a map with Forever's boat, zeppelin and flight routes that works out the fastest path and how long it takes; ForeverChanges (foreverchanges.pro), talent and spell changes versus Classic, a talent calculator, Legacy, professions, dungeons and items; Wowhead (wowhead.com/forever), news and database; WoW-Professions (wow-professions.com), long-standing profession guides with a Forever section; and Everloot's Raid Buff Planner (everloot.app/tools/raid), to sort buffs for 10, 20 and 40-player raids. Damage sims (such as MythicSim) are still in beta for Forever: don't pick a class based on them.

In chat, !discord. That's where groups, the guild and stream alerts are organized. More →

The guides stay free for everyone. Subs get their own area: new stuff first, voting on the next guide, giveaways and events. You log in with Discord. More →

Yes: it's called "WoW Portal Room". The Muchamiel community one is a different server (see the question above).
