What is new and changed in Forever, by kind

Site

5 October 2026

  • A What's New page and feed: every game build we load, with what it added and changed, and the site's own changes, newest first.

4 October 2026

  • Night mode. A Night colour scheme and a Day/Night switch at the top of every page, so the white 2005 page no longer has to hurt at 2 a.m. Suggested by u/HalunaX and u/BloodSyndicate.
  • Sortable item lists. Every column of an item list sorts, and a new Stats column prints every stat of the item, attributes first, bonuses in tooltip green. Suggested by u/HelpmeRhonda3.
  • Filter box on every list page: type to narrow the rows you see, without a reload. Suggested by u/HelpmeRhonda3.
  • The suggestions page is now an ideas board: see what is planned, post your own and vote, with or without an account. Shipped ideas are marked done and credit whoever asked.
  • Fewer false Changed in Forever badges: stats Era printed as an "Equip:" line, recipes, food and drink, weapon damage ranges and NPC prop models no longer read as changes against Classic Era.
  • Forever-only stats have names in lists and tooltips (school spell damage, attack power against a creature type, skills) instead of "Stat #87".
  • Faster under load.

3 October 2026

  • ZugZugDB opens: items, spells, NPCs, quests, zones, item sets, talents, achievements, dungeons and professions of World of Warcraft Forever, with drop data, comments and News.
  • New in Forever badges and a New in Forever page: what Forever added or changed against Classic Era.
  • Zone maps with pins, profession leveling guides, Best in Slot and "where to farm" pages, and a talent calculator.
