How to read this update

Classic-family announcements need edition-level context. Similar names do not mean shared rules, so verify the realm type, phase, patch basis, and whether the change applies globally or only to a regional service.

Verification note

The headline, publication time, image, and source link come from an official Blizzard property. The summary and analysis are original WCL Lens editorial copy. Dates, availability, and live-service details can change, so use the linked announcement for the final wording.
