You Can Make Your WoW: Forever Character Now And Be Ready For Launch
World of Warcraft: Forever's character creation and name reservations are now live, letting you save some time on launch day by making your characters now rather than on launch day. To access name reservations, you'll need to have Forever preinstalled on Battle.net and have purchased at least the $30 Skyborne Heroic Pack , which grants access to the game's new optional playable race, the Skyborne elves. Once you've done that, you can simply log into the game, select the ruleset you want to play on, and create your characters. You can create and name up to three characters ahead of launch day.
