Another week has passed in WoW, and we have another summary of the official Blizzard posts! Forever got another podcast and several systems articles. The podcast focused on the end of the Beta, while we got detailed previews on the raids, new campfire system, name reservations, rulesets, and dungeons. Over in retail we had the Hallow’s end post, and Classic got a new patch in the Gods of Zul’Aman. The store got a new Rexxar pack and a big sale. And finally, we just got the new Arator motion comic as well, so let’s dive in!
From the latest news in World of Warcraft: Forever to the launch of the Gods of Zul’Aman content update in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary, this week’s news is packed with fresh insights, eerie in-game events, new rewards, and adventures to explore across Azeroth.

Choose Your Ruleset in World of Warcraft: Forever
Every journey through Azeroth begins with a choice about the kind of world you want to step into. We’re changing how that journey begins by moving away from the traditional realm-selection screen and introducing rulesets, letting you choose the kind of experience you want to have first.
Each ruleset functions more like a broad player ecosystem 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.
Gather Around the Campfire in World of Warcraft: Forever
There is something special about seeing another adventurer on the road. Maybe they are headed toward the same quest objective, recovering after a close fight, or simply taking the long way through a dangerous zone. The Camping system gives those moments more room to grow by turning a simple Cooking Fire into a place where players can rest, prepare, and connect.
Explore the New Dungeons of World of Warcraft: Forever
Introducing 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.
Venture beneath familiar cities, beyond sealed gates, and into long-unexplored corners of Azeroth.
World of Warcraft: Forever Raid Overview—Locations, Raid Sizes, and Attunement
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 where to find each level 60 raid, how many players you’ll need, and how to earn the Drakefire Amulet required to enter Onyxia’s Lair.

Just south of the once beautiful elven kingdom of Quel’Thalas, the eerie Ghostlands beckon brave adventurers, daring them to enter the Amani stronghold of Zul’Aman.
Zul’Aman’s army grows stronger by the day, driven by its hunger for vengeance in Zul’jin’s name. Enter the stronghold and put an end to his plans.
Gather your allies and venture into the Eastern Kingdoms, where the dangers of Zul’Aman await.
