Warcraft

Midnight's patch 12.0.5 added several Void-themed world events that involve repelling the leftover void forces that are still wreaking havoc across Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman: Void Strikes, Void Incursions, and Ritual Sites.

This week's World of Warcraft maintenance is relatively quick for most realms, with just an hour of downtime scheduled for all servers except Midnight.

Now that we're a few months into Midnight and we've had a chance to hit the new level cap and gear up, many players are looking to take a bit of a break from the constant onslaught of powerful enemies and spend some downtime in less dangerous regions of Azeroth.

The cap on upgrade crests has been removed from Midnight Season 1, earlier than we expected.

We are truly blessed by the enormous variety of mounts in World of Warcraft, from nearly endless dragons to disembodied hands to Goblin-made mech suits to extremely good boys -- but I can't help but pine for even more types of noble steeds to ferry my characters around Azeroth.

If you played WoW during early 2026's Legion Remix, you may remember that one of the many features of that particular remix was Heroic World Tier.

It's maintenance day for World of Warcraft, and it's extended maintenance for everybody.

The Burning Crusade Classic Phase 2, styled the Overlords of Outland, launched worldwide on WoW Classic Anniversary realms on May 14, 2026 at 3pm pacific time. This phase continues our adventures in Outland with new content for everyone to experience, so let's take a look at everything that came to TBC Classic anniversary realms on May 14.

The fifth (and barring any dramatic changes, final) phase of Mists of Pandaria Classic will launch worldwide on June 2, 2026, once the weekly maintenance finishes, which is usually between 8am-9am pacific time.

Today's WoW maintenance isn't too bad, but it is longer than usual: all World of Warcraft servers are scheduled to be offline for two hours of maintenance.
