WoW Forever name reservations open soon with a three-character limit
WoW Forever name reservations begin October 27, but your favorite name is not guaranteed
We all know it, getting the name you want when an online game releases is pretty hard, especially when it comes to MMOs.
Luckily, for those who pre-purchased any of the Skyborn packages, you will have access to an early name reservation. These will still be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so your name is not guaranteed. But if you log in early, it should be fine.
Wow Forever Name Reservations Date and Time
Name reservations begin on October 27 and run until November 3rd, right before release on November 4th. You will get access at the following times, depending on your region:
Europe: October 27 at 18:00 CET
North America: October 27 at 1:00 p.m. PDT
Korea: October 28 at 07:00 KST
Taiwan: October 28 at 07:00 CST
If you want access, you can still pre-order the Skyborne Heroic Pack, Skyborne Epic Pack, or limited-time Warcraft Forever Collection.
You can create and reserve names for up to three characters total across all Rulesets. So, for example, if you decide to reserve 2 PvP characters, you will only have one more slot for Normal or Role-Play Rulesets.
Obviously, this restriction only applies to Early Name Reservation. For those who create their characters at launch, you can make more than just 3 characters.
How to Reserve Your Names in WoW Forever

Create up to 3 characters with your chosen name
And there you go, you are now ready for launch!
Since you have to pick a Main Name and a Secondary Name in Forever, the risk of someone taking the same name as you is really low, so you should not have any issues, even if you cannot participate in the early reservations.
Get ready to make your mark in Azeroth! World of Warcraft: Forever Early Name reservations will be available from October 27 through November 3, offering an early opportunity to reserve names for up to three characters.
