Midnight

With Player Housing just around the corner — early access launches with patch 11.2.7 on December 2 — players are stocking up on materials across several expansions to prepare to decorate their perfect home.

Arator the Redeemer son of Alleria Windrunner and High Exarch Turalyon has been an occasional presence in the narrative of World of Warcraft until now but with Midnight he'll be moving to the forefront, stepping out from the light and the shadow cast by his famous parents to forge his own story.

One of the headline features of World of Warcraft: Midnight will be Player Housing, a feature that has been requested since release 20 plus years ago.

Midnight opens with the heroes of Azeroth called to the desperate defense of the Sunwell by Lady Liadrin, but before we accept the summon request we should refresh ourselves on the background of the Blood Knight Matriarch.

The Midnight beta is now live, and you haven't gotten in you can sign up right now.

We've been looking forward to the beta test for World of Warcraft: Midnight, to get a better look at the game (and what some of its features look like with more players).

We've seen many changes to the Skyriding system since it was first released in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, under its original name of Dragonriding.

We've known for a long time that Midnight is going to involve fighting back the tide of darkness falling across Azeroth, so when our characters answer the call and step out of the Sunwell we want to be dressed head-to-toe in the finest Light-based transmog -- and that includes weapon slots.

Blizzard told us when the trilogy of expansions comprising The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan, that they would be over time replacing and blocking third party addons that perform computational actions as combat helpers.

Player Housing is a long-desired feature in World of Warcraft, and there was certainly some unhappiness when the Blizzard team announced that the feature required would require you to own Midnight to try it out.
