World of Warcraft: Forever Early Name Reservation gives eligible players an opportunity to secure character names across Azeroth's server rulesets prior to launch. Participants can create up to three characters total, selecting their race, faction, appearance, and a two-part name consisting of a first name and surname. Each two-part name is unique per server region.
The reservation process locks in character creation choices, but it does not provide early access to gameplay, level progression, or items. All created characters remain at level 1 until full launch, and desired names are awarded strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
