World of Warcraft: Forever is back up after a crash on Sunday 9 November took the servers down for emergency maintenance, according to server trackers Timesaver.gg and DroidHarvest. As of 06:15 UTC on Tuesday 10 November, the servers were up, with players reporting them back from about 22:42 UTC on 9 November.
WoW Forever, Blizzard's permanent level 1-60 Classic experience, launched on 4 November. The 9 November outage was the first major interruption since launch, and players reported rollbacks — progress lost when the servers were restored to an earlier state. According to Timesaver.gg, players say spells and profession skill-ups trained before the crash were lost while the gold spent on them stayed spent.
Blizzard has not confirmed the rollback or said whether anything will be restored. According to Timesaver.gg, Blizzard has posted nothing about the crash or the rollback since it happened, although it did publish hotfix notes on 9 November and a player-versus-player faction balance update. That silence is now the main frustration for affected players.
There was also a fresh wave of disconnects for US players from about 00:40 to 01:00 UTC on 10 November, according to Timesaver.gg, with logins stuck on the retrieving realm list screen. An independent monitor recorded responding login endpoints for the Americas, Europe and Korea at 00:04 UTC, according to DroidHarvest, although that checks login connectivity rather than every game world.
Players should also note a separate scheduled maintenance window on Tuesday 10 November, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. PST (10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. EST), according to DroidHarvest. Blizzard has announced further class tuning for 10 November, and the first raids — Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia's Lair — are due on 9 December for level 60 players.
