Warcraft

It's maintenance day for World of Warcraft, and it's extended maintenance for everybody.

The Burning Crusade Classic Phase 2, styled the Overlords of Outland, launched worldwide on WoW Classic Anniversary realms on May 14, 2026 at 3pm pacific time. This phase continues our adventures in Outland with new content for everyone to experience, so let's take a look at everything that came to TBC Classic anniversary realms on May 14.

The fifth (and barring any dramatic changes, final) phase of Mists of Pandaria Classic will launch worldwide on June 2, 2026, once the weekly maintenance finishes, which is usually between 8am-9am pacific time.

Today's WoW maintenance isn't too bad, but it is longer than usual: all World of Warcraft servers are scheduled to be offline for two hours of maintenance.

World of Warcraft introduced Player Housing to the community as part of the lead-up to the Midnight expansion, and Blizzard is taking that commitment seriously.

We've got the details for what's coming next in Midnight with patch 12.0.7, and that means it's time to speculate on where we'll be adventuring for the first major content update of the expansion: patch 12.1.

Midnight's patch 12.0.5 offers a wide variety of new things to try, including a hide-and-seek mini-game tied into Player Housing.

It's another quick maintenance for World of Warcraft, with only an hour of downtime scheduled for all WoW servers.

World of Warcraft patch 12.0.5 brought a number of undocumented changes -- some intentional, some not.

Decor Duel is a quirky PVP mode added to World of Warcraft Midnight in patch 12.0.5, and it's basically just hide and seek, but magic.
