The Roleplay-PvP Ruleset is Coming to WoW Forever

Blizzard is adding a Roleplay-PvP ruleset to WoW Forever, available from launch on November 4. It also plans to let players pick that ruleset during Early Name Reservation, which opens on Tuesday, October 27.

Highlights

• A Roleplay-PvP ruleset is available from launch on November 4
• Blizzard plans to offer it for Early Name Reservation from October 27
• Blizzard decided to add it after weighing player feedback

A change of plan

On the WoW Forever podcast, Blizzard had voiced concerns about a ruleset combining roleplaying and PvP while saying the question was still under discussion. Having looked at what one would take to build, it has now decided to add it, and the ruleset will be there when WoW Forever launches on November 4.

Name reservation

Blizzard says it is working to make the Roleplay-PvP ruleset selectable when Early Name Reservation begins on Tuesday, October 27, so that names can be reserved there too. That is a plan, not yet a promise.

Not announced yet

• Whether the Roleplay-PvP ruleset keeps the PvP ruleset's one-faction rule
• Whether it gets the faction-balance limits Blizzard described for the PvP ruleset
