WoW Forever launches on November 4th, but Raids are coming only on December 9. So what does this mean? Basically, you have around one month to hit level 60 if you want to join the first 3 Raids once they are added to the game.
Yes, 3 raids. We now have much more information about them, so let's go over all of that.
All Three Wow Forever Raids
On December 9, gather your level 60 friends, prepare, work together, and master your classes before you take on Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit, and Onyxia's Lair.

Dustwallow Marsh
The Barrow Deeps
This raid is made for 10 players, and it is hidden under Kalimdor. You will enter the prison that once held Illidan Stormrage for 10 000 years, but now, all the dark passages have been opened.
Head deep inside the mountain and descend into the prison to learn what became of those left behind. Can the wardens contain the danger below?
It is the only raid out of the 3 that has multiple entrances.
Hyjal Summit
The second raid is located at the top of Mount Hyjal, near the World Tree Nordrassil. You will face 13 bosses and begin with a battle against an ancient guardian. This raid is made for large groups of 20 players. Choose the path you want to take across the mountain, explore ruins above and below ground, and defeat the forces that threaten Hyjal.
Onyxia's Lair
The third raid is only for parties of 40 players. Deep in Dustwallow Marsh, Onyxia, a dragon of the Black Dragonflight, guards her brood and tries to manipulate Azeroth's mortal races.
This is a 3-phase encounter where she will launch powerful fire attacks that will destroy any unprepared raid. Build your fire resistance up before you go in there; that is all we can say.
This raid also has a particularity, since ALL 60 players will have to carry the Drakefire Amulet to enter.
How to Get the Drakefire Amulet
If you want to enter Onyxia's Lair, you will need this amulet. You obtain it through a faction-specific attunement quest.
Alliance
Beginning in the Burning Steppes, you will pick up the quest "Dragonkin Menace" from Helendis Riverhorn.
Horde
In the Badlands, you will begin your journey with the quest "Blood and Thunder" from Warlord Goretooth in Kargath.
Important note: You do NOT need to equip the Drakefire Amulet to enter, but you need to have it in your inventory.
All three raids release on December 9, so you have some time to prepare for them. They will also reset each week, but this can still change until they release, so take it with a grain of salt.
