World of Warcraft: Forever Adds Darkmoon Faire as First Event
The faire opened on November 9, 2026, and Alliance players reach it from outside Stormwind while the Horde faces a much longer journey.
World of Warcraft: Forever released its first in-game event, the Darkmoon Faire, on November 9, 2026, according to gamerant.com. The event marks the first such addition to the game.
Reaching the faire is simple for Alliance players, who can travel to it from just outside Stormwind because the grounds sit in Elwynn Forest. Horde players face a considerably longer route.
For the Horde, the trip begins with a zeppelin from Orgrimmar or Undercity to Grom'gol Base Camp. From there, players travel northeast through Stranglethorn Vale and then north through Duskwood to the faire grounds near Goldshire.
Blizzard Entertainment previously said one of its main goals with its new Classic Plus experience was to put the "war" back in World of Warcraft, with more Alliance versus Horde conflict and a focus on PvP. The developer has also described Forever as a success with fans, with its dedicated realms and new graphics distinguishing it from retail.
