Rulesets instead of realms: Normal, PvP, Roleplaying (Hardcore later)
In WoW Forever you no longer pick a realm but a ruleset: Normal, PvP or Roleplaying – Hardcore follows after launch. Each ruleset is its own large ecosystem for groups, dungeons and raids. The choice is permanent.
The cooking fire becomes a Basic Campfire. Up to three camp features from professions (e.g. sharpening wheel, faction banner, incense candle) give everyone resting stat buffs. First features are available at profession skill 20.
Raids: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia’s Lair from December 9
On December 9 three level 60 raids unlock: Barrow Deeps (10 players, 8 bosses), Hyjal Summit (20 players, 13 bosses) and Onyxia’s Lair (40 players). Everyone needs the Drakefire Amulet for Onyxia.
