WoW Forever launches 4 Nov, and Blizzard is aiming for patches about every four months

World of Warcraft: Forever launches globally on 4 Nov, 3pm PT (5 Nov, 9am AEST), per Blizzard. It's included with a WoW subscription or Game Time.

In an interview with IGN, principal game designer Kris Zierhut said the team thinks the right pace for new content is "something closer to once every four months or 17 weeks", with about four months between raid tiers and between PvP seasons. He said Season of Discovery's 8 to 10 week schedule "felt way, way, way too fast", and that some content will unlock between the major patches on a timed event calendar.

Zierhut also told IGN there are no plans for player housing in Forever right now. Wowhead also covered the interview.
