Battle for Azeroth: Reforged launches on Firestorm August 31 at 11:00 AM CEST.
The network's final heads-up post 567 confirms the fresh BFA realm — not another TWW update — with >3600 queued on the PTR (closed, no carryover, no name reservation), patch 8.0 content on 8.3.7 tuning, hub Plunderforged Bay, Rank 1 Essences at start and dynamic season length.
Cross-expansion cosmetics are live account-wide (TWW ↔ BFA), and the Felsong → Firestorm merge is live via /mergefelsong/index. Season 1 opens at launch, Uldir Mythic opens a week later, shop is live at launch with first-week login rewards (Gilded Ravasaur / Seabraid Stallion / Tottle).
Firestorm remains the largest retail-mirror network — TWW (Dornogal) plus legacy realms plus now BFA: Reforged. Tracked: Firestorm — now BFA: Reforged + TWW, updated 2026-08-31.
