WoW Classic

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.

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 Tuesday morning, and that means it's time for World of Warcraft maintenance.

WoW Classic's latest expansion, Mists of Pandaria Classic, launched on in summer 2025 alongside a roadmap outlining a bit more detail for Mists of Pandaria Classic but it really only included the pre-patch and expansion launch, which felt a little slim for the last half of 2025.

World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary realms have officially become The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms with the successful rollout of the TBC Classic pre-patch on January 13, 2026, and players have already  begun preparations to traverse the Dark Portal on February 5, 2026 when the expansion launches.

It's a relatively short Tuesday morning maintenance for all versions of World of Warcraft with a brief one-hour maintenance for WoW Classic and Mists of Pandaria Classic, and a two hour maintenance for Midnight.

It's a big week for World of Warcraft maintenance as the Midnight pre-patch finally hits live realms.

The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary pre-patch is now live and players have until February 5 when the expansion launches to ready themselves for Outland.

Today's maintenance is completely average for players on The War Within and Mists of Pandaria Classic servers, with just a quick hour of downtime scheduled for both.

WoW Classic anniversary realms can now look forward to the The Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch officially launching on January 13, 2026 at 3 pm pacific time.
