Do you need to buy the game?
No. Forever is included in the World of Warcraft subscription or game time. The editions sold in the shop are optional: they add bonuses and codes to invite friends, who can play for free from 5 to 11 November. The new Skyborne race requires one of the higher editions.
Which class should you pick?
It all depends on how you like to play. The class pages detail spells, talents and playable races. [Jobwow's personal advice for a first character.]
What changes compared to Classic?
- The level cap stays at 60.
- More than 1,000 new quests spread between levels 1 and 60.
- Nine new dungeons and raids for 10 and 20 players.
- New zones: Mount Hyjal, Riverglades, Zephras Isle and Shen'dralar.

Where to start, where to go next?
