WoW Forever: Brief Beta Realm Maintenance (Oct 6, 2026): what changed

Fix 3

Beta build: these notes are for the World of Warcraft: Forever beta test. Changes can be revised before they reach a release build.

TL;DRBlizzard restarted the World of Warcraft: Forever beta realms on October 6 to apply some priority fixes. One fix is intended to restore quest items that should restock in chests but had gone missing, and others address occasional disconnects on elevators and transports and an error when joining or leaving a guild.

Who this matters to

Questers

Quests whose items are supposed to restock in a chest should no longer get stuck because the items went missing.

Everyone in the beta

Riding elevators and transports should no longer occasionally disconnect you, and joining or leaving a guild no longer throws an error.
