ReplyWoW: Forever Name Reservations
Name reservations were scheduled to go live at 17:00 UK time, but in true Blizzard style, things didn’t quite go to plan! After a delay of a few hours, I finally managed to log in on the EU side at around 21:00 UK time and access the name reservation system. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and I managed to secure all the names I wanted! 😁

TopicDust Off Your Walking Frames, Bingo Is Cancelled! We’re Going to Azeroth!
We’re getting closer to launch, so here’s a quick reminder that we’ll be playing on the EU Horde Normal PvE server. Hopefully, everyone managed to secure their name reservations last night! Over the next few days, I’ll be making a final push to get the forums finished, with all the categories and topics properly organised. I know the current artwork is a bit of AI slop, but I’m no graphic designer! Improving the visuals is something we can work on together over time. The next priority is getting the guild up and running as soon as possible. If you’d like…

TopicWoW: Forever Name Reservations
With the launch of WoW: Forever on 4 November fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about character names! Players who have pre-purchased the Skyborne Heroic Pack, Skyborne Epic Pack, or Warcraft Forever Collection are eligible for early name reservations, giving them the chance to claim their favourite names before the servers open to everyone. For EU players, name reservations are expected to open at around 17:00 UK time. If you’re eligible, make sure you’re ready to jump in and grab your preferred names before someone else gets there first!

TopicA Nostalgia-Filled Weekend in the Forever Beta
Well, that was a thoroughly enjoyable, nostalgia-soaked weekend! After messing around with a few classes and levelling a Paladin to level 20, I thought I’d share some of my initial impressions of the World of Warcraft: Forever beta. First things first, can we take a moment to appreciate the new environmental effects? The fog looks fantastic, although it can feel a little heavy in certain areas. The updated water is absolutely gorgeous, even if I can understand the argument that it might look a little too good for a Classic aesthetic. And the lighting… honestly, I love it. It’s relatively…

TopicWe Didn’t Need Discord Back in the Day
Let’s get straight to the point. Attitude Gaming is deliberately moving away from Discord and embracing a website, forums and TeamSpeak instead. It might seem a little old-school in 2026, and I appreciate that it won't be everyone's cup of tea, so I want to explain why we're taking this approach. This isn't about being different for the sake of it. It's about the kind of community we want to build, the tools we want to use, and having greater control over our own little corner of the internet.
