Midnight is a tough expansion for me. I refuse to play a Monk if I can’t have Xuen (p.s. Xuen is no longer baseline). I don’t love being a Paladin when I can’t live out my battle cleric fantasy by being a healer, which my guild doesn’t need. What am I supposed to do now?

Well, we’re a week from early access and I still haven’t decided. It’s probably fine. I’m sure I still have time. The answer will come to me any minute now. (Help.)

And whether I successfully decide on a class or not, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we do our best to answer your questions (but sometimes we have questions of our own). Let’s get to it.

Wednesday is typically maintenance day for European realms, but this morning NA realms have an extra maintenance for Midnight realms.

All World of Warcraft realms have a longer than usual maintenance today, but hopefully not too long: all servers are scheduled for two hours of maintenance this morning.

The Lunar Festival is back in World of Warcraft!

Roadmap season is officially over for Blizzard games, as this year's 2026 plans for Hearthstone and Diablo both rolled out last week.

The butterfly I’m interested in is unfortunately not in a book. If it were in a book I could just check it out at the local library (btw support your local library). But instead it’s a rare drop World of Warcraft mount, which is in every way worse.

Still, we persevere, holiday after holiday and kill after kill. Eventually this butterfly will be mine. Maybe.

It's 2026, and Diablo 2 is getting a new DLC: Reign of the Warlock.

This week's maintenance is scheduled to last all day for Midnight realms as Blizzard rolls out WoW patch 12.0.1, which includes many class updates and additional UI improvements — primarily things we've already seen testing on the beta, just rolling to live a little before the Midnight launch.

It's Monday, so it's time to try to catch up on the last week in Blizzard games.

I am not a fan of gaming showcases and events. They’re usually heavy on hype and light on things to actually be hyped about. Last week’s Warcraft showcase actually went pretty well, with a lot of info to share and some exciting reveals. But today’s Overwatch showcase? Well, since my expectations were on the floor, it managed to exceed them, but I’m not exactly overwhelmed, despite a new cinematic trailer … something we haven’t seen since… well, I started scrolling to find one and eventually gave up. It’s been a while.

Maybe Overwatch can stage a comeback. Maybe.

But while we wait for that to happen, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column. Let’s get to your questions.
