Hail*NOR/

WoW Forever is LIVE! The biggest launch in Blizzard history! And our NOR branch took part in it. We kicked off the launch of WoW Forever on November 4th, 2026 at 6 pm Eastern, with a well-attended launch party in Discord. All of us were fully expecting another evening of long queues from Blizzard. However, this launch went fairly smoothly, and all of us were in-game within thirty minutes. To be candid, I was somewhat disappointed: I had been looking forward to an evening of snarky comments about the typical bungled Blizzard launch!

The following evening, our proud founding members met at the Stormwind Visitors’ Center by the main gates to collect the silver pieces needed to form our NOR branch, and then posed for a picture by the statues guarding the front gates of the city.

Over the weekend, recruitment has been going incredibly well – 17 new recruits are wearing the NOR colors. Members introduced themselves by questing as well as grouping and running 5-man instances – the new Hall of Thanes dungeon, and the venerable classic Deadmines. WoW Forever features new quests, improved graphics, and updated talent trees for all classes. So far, Blizzard has done a great job delivering on their promises with this version of the game.

Our first guild dungeon run will be Thursday, November 12th, at 8:30 pm Eastern. Special recognition in this newsletter to Squire Finean for his financial contribution to get the guild chapter up and running, and Recruit Goslia, who is our current highest-level member.

Come join us in WoW Forever! Hail NOR!
