How we verify
Every entry has two halves, and each half needs its own kind of proof. Facts were last checked on October 5, 2026. The beta is still changing, so some of this will move.
The four labels
- Blizzard
We read it in one of Blizzard's own posts, and we link the post.
- The 2004 guide
We read it on the page of the 2004 book, and we give the printed page number. Tables are read from the page itself, never from a text scan.
- Reported
Press, fan sites or common knowledge of the old game say so, but we haven't tied it to a first-hand source.
- Not confirmed
Nobody official has said, and we haven't been able to check it in the game. We say so rather than guess.
The rules we work to
- Every fact about Forever is checked against a Blizzard post, or it is labelled as reported or not confirmed.
- Numbers found by people reading the beta's files don't count as confirmed.
- When we show a page of the book or quote it, we say which page it is.
- Other pictures are our own character renders.
- If we get something wrong, we fix the entry and say what changed.
