Issues Resolved for Invite-a-Friend Players
05 Nov 2026 · Kaivax on the official forums
TL;DR
- A hotfix is now live fixing an issue affecting players who joined WoW Forever using an Invite-a-Friend Code.
- Affected players were unexpectedly restricted from using certain chat channels, leveling past 10, participating in guilds, forming parties, or trading items with other players.
- If you experienced this, you may wish to log out and back into WoW Forever.
