  "account": "World of Warcraft Forever is set to launch on November 4 with a global release, meaning players around the world can start playing simultaneously. Blizzard has confirmed the global release times and preload details for the game. To preload the game, simply open the Battle.net launcher and the World of Warcraft Forever game should appear in the Favorites bar by default. If not, go to Games and search for World of Warcraft, then click the WoW icon, select the game version, and hit the Install button. The game requires at least 128GB of available space, but Blizzard recommends at least 150GB, especially considering the number of mods available right from the start. Additionally, an SSD is preferred over a hard drive for the best performance.",
