WoW Forever's Invite-A-Friend codes are scheduled to start emailing October 20, giving eligible friends access from November 4 through November 11 without an active subscription. They are launch-week invitations, not beta keys. Blizzard announced the offer in September; this is the delivery milestone, not a newly revealed promotion.

The published schedule does not confirm that your emails have already arrived. Blizzard has not provided an exact sending hour in its support FAQ.

One email per code, up to three with digital upgrades

The Skyborne Heroic Pack includes one code. The Skyborne Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection include three each, sent as three separate emails rather than one message containing all three.

Upgrading Heroic to Epic or the Collection adds two invitations, bringing the total to three. Moving from Epic to the Collection adds none. Gift orders are not eligible.

Check your friend's WoW account before sharing

A code can be redeemed on a single WoW account through Battle.net or the Battle.net app. Accounts that already purchased any Forever upgrade cannot redeem one. Choose the intended account carefully: Blizzard says support cannot correct a wrong-account redemption or replace a misplaced or already-used code.

The invitation does not grant beta access, ordinary WoW game time or access to other WoW versions. It also excludes the Skyborne race and its starting-zone quests. November 11 is the fixed end of access, not the start of a fresh seven-day period for someone who redeems late.

Missing emails have different checks for digital and boxed editions

For a Battle.net purchase, check the registered email address and its junk folder. Open Battle.net Transaction History and verify the upgrade order is marked Complete; a failed order does not generate codes.

Blizzard Gear Store Collector's Edition buyers receive invitations from Legends at the email address used for that purchase. Do not assume it is the same address as your Battle.net account. Collector's Editions purchased at local retailers in Korea, Australia and New Zealand are not eligible for these codes.

Read Blizzard's code FAQ before passing an invitation along. If your friend already has an active WoW subscription, Forever is included at launch without buying a separate upgrade. Our Forever game hub tracks the game; these guest codes are a temporary access option, not a permanent replacement for subscription time.
