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.

Believe it or not, World of Warcraft's next installment of content is already on the radar -- we just got our first look at Midnight patch 12.0.7, and there seems to be quite a lot going on for a relatively minor update.

It's been several weeks, and we've all had time to settle into the Midnight addon environment -- have you been handling the transition with grace, or are you mashing your keyboard randomly and being repeatedly eaten by lynxes just outside of the Silvermoon gates without your meticulously crafted addon-heavy UI?

Warlocks, are you tired of your demons looking a little...

I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I am a little surprised at this week's one hour scheduled server maintenance.

Children's Week is upon us, when the mighty heroes of Azeroth take a break from saving the universe in order to fly kites with orphans.

The recently-released patch 12.0.5 for World of Warcraft added a nice new feature for Dracthyr Evokers: Battle Visage lets them remain in Visage form during combat, only briefly shifting to their Dracthyr forms during certain specific abilities, and then immediately shifting back.

Patch 12.0.5 launched Tuesday in World of Warcraft, and while there were a lot of features players were excitedly looking forward to -- Decor Duels, Abyss Anglers, or even helping Decimus help us by finishing the Voidforge -- the patch also launched with one major thing players were not expecting or looking forward to: critical bugs that caused the Player Housing system to be disabled, at least in the US and Oceania.

Though WoW patch 12.0.5 is just a minor patch, it's having a big impact on this week's maintenance schedule: modern WoW servers are scheduled to be offline all day, though WoW Classic just has an hour of downtime.
