Players report that the open beta of World of Warcraft: Forever has raised its simultaneous connection limit and that the bug kicking accounts out of the login queue has been fixed.

The open beta of World of Warcraft: Forever is racking up hotfixes: players report that Blizzard has raised the simultaneous connection limit on the servers and closed a bug that was kicking accounts out of the queue when logging in.

What's known

• The simultaneous connection cap has been raised again — this is not the first increase since the open beta launched on September 17, 2026.
• The "disconnect login queue" bug has been fixed: previously, disconnecting while waiting in the queue meant losing your spot and ending up at the back of the line.
• The fix is server-side; no client update is required.

Context

The Forever open beta runs from September 17 to October 21, 2026, with the full release on November 4, 2026 at 23:00 UTC. Until release, Blizzard continues to tune the servers under load and close out infrastructure bugs.

In practice

• Getting into the beta is easier: more people can be in the game at the same time.
• If you disconnect while waiting in the queue, your place is now preserved.
• No client update needed.
