Blizzard opens character name reservation for “World of Warcraft: Forever”
Game developer Blizzard Entertainment has opened early character name reservation for the upcoming video game “World of Warcraft: Forever”, running from 27 October to 3 November. It is available only to those who have already bought special pre-order bundles.
Game developer Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that early character name reservation for its upcoming video game “World of Warcraft: Forever” will run from 27 October to 3 November. The feature lets players secure their preferred nicknames in good time, before the game's servers open.
Who can reserve a name
The option is not open to everyone. Only players who have already purchased one of the special pre-order bundles can reserve a name. The “Skyborne Heroic Pack” is named as one example, but the source does not give the full list, so the complete set of eligible bundles should be checked in Blizzard Entertainment's official announcements.
Why it matters to players
A character name serves as a player's identity in such games, so early reservation offers a chance to claim a desired nickname before the servers open to a wider audience. The reservation window is fixed: it began on 27 October and ends on 3 November.
The announcement ties early access to name reservation to pre-orders, giving bundle buyers an advantage over other players.
