WoW

In addition to giving us the Paladin class as an immediate reward for pre-ordering the second expansion for Diablo 4, pre-ordering the Lord of Hatred also brings a cross-promotion which rewards Player Housing decor for World of Warcraft.

If you've been frustrated by the slow pace of gathering lumber in The War Within in order to craft player housing decor with your professions, then good news -- new achievements have been added to the Midnight beta that allow for mounted lumberjacking.

It's another speedy WoW maintenance this week, as all World of Warcraft servers scheduled to be offline for an hour this morning.

If you're seeking the perfect spread for your Player Housing dining room, look no further than the Cooking profession.

One of the more time-intensive aspects of Player Housing so far has been using our profession skills to craft unique decor, and if you've got an army of alts like me you've probably spent a decent amount of the past month flying around Azeroth in search of enough lumber to create two entire house-fulls of adornments.

While we are currently in Early Access for the World of Warcraft Player Housing feature, there are still a number of aspects that won't be available until the Midnight expansion launch, including some exterior options.

This week's World of Warcraft maintenance should be another short one, because no one wants to put in too many hours of work on a holiday week (not even the poor admins in charge of rebooting the realms just before New Year's).

We're being given the gift of a (hopefully) short WoW maintenance for the holidays, so be merry!

When the sun rises at the turn of the new year in January, so too will the World of Warcraft Trading Post turn out some new stock!

The longest-awaited feature in World of Warcraft history, Player Housing, is here for players who have pre-ordered the Midnight expansion, and with these new zones come a new collection of Azeroth's fauna to love and admire.
