The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms are progressing to Phase 3 on August 27, 2026 at 3 pm pacific time.

Over the last week, Blizzard implemented user interface changes to World of Warcraft Classic realms and The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms that specifically affect the look of character name plates and raid frames, and also affect all Classic realms including Era, Season of Discovery, and Hardcore.

Introduced with patch 12.0.5, Decor Duels brought the idea of "prop hunt" gameplay to World of Warcraft -- the game, ostensibly an old training exercise revived by the newly-united elves, had players split into teams of hiders and seekers; the hiders would assume the form of ordinary inanimate objects, while the seekers would have to find the disguised players.

Turbulent Timeways has returned during World of Warcraft's patch 12.0.7, and is live through August 11 — so this is your last week!

We have an unusually long WoW maintenance day, with four hours of downtime scheduled for Midnight realms and a full eight hours of downtime scheduled for core Classic realms.

The steady march of time brings both sorrow and joy, but today it's the latter as there's a new 6-month subscription mount and pet reward for World of Warcraft players.

When Pepe was originally introduced in Warlords of Draenor, this adorable orange avian companion was an interactable object in your Garrison, who got easier to reach as your Garrison was upgraded, so it make perfect sense that he's coming to visit our Player Housing house, too.

It's a quick Tuesday maintenance for all World of Warcraft realms, with just an hour of maintenance scheduled for modern and classic realms.

After many years of cosmetic appearances tied to holidays that could only be applied at the proper time of year, World of Warcraft has leaned into the "fashion when you feel like it" outlook and included some truly epic year-round transmog in the last few seasonal celebrations.

Today's WoW maintenance is is actually extremely short in length for most of the realms, only being an hour long or so.
