WoW

The latest World of Warcraft Twitch Drop is a new color variant of the murloc plushie decor that we've seen a few times before: the Cuddly Pearl Grrgle, a light gray and pinkish option on this cute Player Housing Decor item. The Cuddly Pearl Grrgle decor item is available from April 23 at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern) through May 21 at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern).

The recently-released patch 12.0.5 for World of Warcraft added a nice new feature for Dracthyr Evokers: Battle Visage lets them remain in Visage form during combat, only briefly shifting to their Dracthyr forms during certain specific abilities, and then immediately shifting back.

Patch 12.0.5 launched Tuesday in World of Warcraft, and while there were a lot of features players were excitedly looking forward to -- Decor Duels, Abyss Anglers, or even helping Decimus help us by finishing the Voidforge -- the patch also launched with one major thing players were not expecting or looking forward to: critical bugs that caused the Player Housing system to be disabled, at least in the US and Oceania.

Though WoW patch 12.0.5 is just a minor patch, it's having a big impact on this week's maintenance schedule: modern WoW servers are scheduled to be offline all day, though WoW Classic just has an hour of downtime.

Abyss Anglers is a new fishing activity coming to World of Warcraft in patch 12.0.5 that some have been comparing to indie game Dave the Diver (it was us; the whole thing seems suspiciously legally distinct).

With the opening chapter of Midnight concluded, we are left still pondering some of the most intriguing mysteries in the Worldsoul Saga.

One of the new features coming in WoW patch 12.0.5 on April 21 is something new called the Voidforge.

In recent interviews and public chats with the player community, Executive Producer and Vice President Holly Longdale has mentioned that she feels World of Warcraft is underutilized and could be expanded into other media.

We're well into Season 1 of Midnight, so hopefully you've made steady progress towards the Voidspire tier set transmogs -- but which ones are shining bright in Silvermoon and which are barred entry at the gates with Umbric?

It's another quick maintenance day for World of Warcraft, with just an hour of downtime scheduled for all servers.
