WoW: Forever Reputations — What Blizzard Has Confirmed So Far

World of Warcraft: Forever adds new reputations in the Riverglades, a fresh level 30–45 zone in the Eastern Kingdoms with 150+ quests and a neutral goblin port, plus expanded Shen'dralar content around Dire Maul, Maraudon and Razorfen Downs. Blizzard has not published faction names, reward lists or rep thresholds yet; that detail lands with the beta on September 17 and launch on November 4, 2026.

Forever reputations: confirmed facts

That's the whole verified list. The Riverglades is the only zone Blizzard has explicitly tagged with new reputations. Shen'dralar is described as expanded content around three existing dungeons, which strongly suggests more to do with that faction, but nobody has confirmed new ranks, rewards or a rework of how you earn standing. Mount Hyjal is an endgame zone first and foremost; treat any "Hyjal reputation" claim as speculation until Blizzard says otherwise.

Which new factions are in WoW: Forever?

Blizzard has not released a faction list. The BlizzCon reveal named the Riverglades as the home of new reputations and mentioned a neutral goblin port there, which is the most likely anchor for at least one of them, but the actual names are unknown. Anything you read online with specific faction titles, quartermasters or rep-gated items is either datamined from a build that isn't public yet or made up.

Because the beta caps characters at level 30 and the Riverglades starts at 30, most beta testers will only scratch the edge of the zone. Expect the real reputation details to surface late in the beta window or at launch itself.

Do the original Classic reputations still exist in Forever?

Forever is built by the Classic team and set in WoW's first year, so the original world is the foundation. Blizzard has not published which factions return unchanged, which get reworked, or whether the Honor system changes (confirmed, numbers unknown) touch PvP-related standing. Professions are also being updated, which historically ties into faction recipes, but no specifics were given. The safe read: the original factions are expected, the rewards may shift, and the new content adds to that list rather than replacing it.

Is "Classic Plus reputation" the same thing as Forever reputation?

Yes. "Classic+" is the community nickname; Blizzard's product name is World of Warcraft: Forever. It sits alongside Modern and Classic as a third experience, the level cap stays at 60 permanently, and new content arrives in patches instead of expansions. So when someone searches "classic plus reputation" they mean the Riverglades and Shen'dralar reputations above, not anything in Season of Discovery or Anniversary realms.

When can I start earning Forever reputation?

Launch day, November 4, 2026. Early Name Reservation and character creation run October 27 – November 3 for anyone with an upgrade pack (up to three characters, first come first served). Riverglades reputations are gated behind reaching level 30 in the new game, so a reputation grind realistically begins a week or two after launch for most players. Whether any progress or reputation carries between Modern, Classic and Forever is unknown; Blizzard has said nothing about transfers of any kind.

What's next on the roadmap?

Per Blizzard's roadmap, raids unlock December 9, 2026 (Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and 40-player Onyxia's Lair). Spring 2027 brings two more raids, two dungeons, a new playable area and a new legendary questline; Summer 2027 adds a revamped iconic raid, more dungeons, and profession and Legacy updates. Any of those patches could add reputations, but none has been announced with one.

If you would rather have a vetted human player handle the Riverglades grind with you once launch hits, PewPewShop is taking Forever reputation pre-orders now: a play-together Forever Reputation Grind runs from EUR 16 per hour, with a long zero-ban record and no bots.
