Is WoW Forever down? Live server status

In short: this page answers one question, whether WoW Forever is up, for all four regions. It reads the same realm-status service as Blizzard's official status page, once a minute, and logs every check. That log gives the outage history and uptime figures on this page. "Unknown" means a ruleset is missing from the newest answer for its region (rulesets that are reported offline still show offline); "Data outdated" means it is more than 5 minutes old. A status can stay on screen for up to 5 minutes plus our 1-minute check and the page's 1-minute refresh.

WoW Forever outage history, maintenance and server time

• Outage history: every offline window in our once-a-minute log, with start, end and duration by region.
• Maintenance schedule: each announced window with its source, next to how long the rulesets were really offline.
• Server time and weekly reset: current UTC from your device clock and a countdown to each region's standard WoW reset time (not confirmed by Blizzard for Forever) in your time zone.

WoW Forever uptime since we started tracking

This is our own record, not a Blizzard figure: online minutes divided by minutes Blizzard answered, per ruleset, since 2026-11-10 03:24 UTC. Minutes with no answer are left out, so this is not a player login success rate and a gap in answers is not counted as downtime. We logged at least one answer in 1,484 minutes since then.

WoW Forever rulesets by region

Forever has no realm list: you pick a ruleset when you make a character. Blizzard launched Forever worldwide on November 4, 2026 (Blizzard). Rulesets currently listed by Blizzard's status service:

"Yes" means the ruleset has appeared in Blizzard's answer for that region since we started; we never drop one just because it is missing from a single answer. Hardcore source: Blizzard's ruleset announcement.

What to know about WoW Forever before you log in

• You pick a ruleset, not a realm. Blizzard replaced the realm-selection screen with rulesets; each is a broad player ecosystem rather than one traditional realm (Blizzard). That's why status here is per ruleset.
• You normally need a subscription or Game Time. Blizzard states World of Warcraft, including Forever, requires a WoW Subscription or Game Time (Blizzard). One exception: during launch week, November 4-11, 2026, players invited with an Invite-A-Friend Launch Code can play Forever without either (Blizzard).
• New raids unlock December 9, 2026. Blizzard announced the date in its what's-next panel recap (Blizzard).

WoW Forever servers up but you can't log in?

If every ruleset above is green and you still can't get in, the cause is somewhere realm status doesn't cover: a queue, the Battle.net app, your region selection, your account's Game Time or your connection.

1. Make sure the Battle.net app shows World of Warcraft: Forever under the same region you play in.
2. Fully restart the Battle.net app and let any pending update finish.
3. Check the official channels below for a login-service issue that realm status doesn't cover.

How this WoW Forever status checker works

Every minute our checker asks Blizzard's public realm-status service for the forever-us, forever-eu, forever-kr and forever-tw regions, the same data behind Blizzard's official status page. Each answer is stored with a timestamp. We do not guess or estimate: if Blizzard doesn't answer, the minute is marked as missing, not as online or offline.

The status reflects what Blizzard's service reports for each ruleset. It does not measure queue length, login-server health or your own connection. We have logged 1,484 minutes of checks since 2026-11-10 03:24 UTC.
