Warcraft

The Midnight pre-patch is almost upon us, and with it will come the long discussed "addon apocalypse," where changes to the back end have either made it impossible to maintain certain addons, or made the task of updating them too daunting for some developers to want to continue.

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.

While the vast majority of Player Housing decor can be obtained without relying on random chance, there are a few pieces so far in early access that require some good ol' luck to acquire.

It looks like Midnight will arrive with a much asked-for tweak to Player Housing -- the ability for decor mailboxes to actually function and allow the retrieval of in-game mail.

It won't be long until the Midnight pre-patch is upon us, bringing with it a whole slew of changes to the game -- the overhaul to transmog, Void Elf Demon Hunters, and major revamps to every spec except Frost Death Knight (who already got their turn).

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.

World of Warcraft Classic anniversary realms will take the first step to becoming The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms when the TBC Classic pre-patch rolls out on January 13, 2026 and players will have about 3 weeks to prepare themselves before the actual TBC Classic expansion to launches on February 5, 2026!

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.
