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.

It took me three years, but I did it; I read every book and short story anthology in the Warhammer Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra series. All 67 of them, and boy, are my eyes tired.

First off, shout out to my local library and its ereader app for letting me read all of the books legally and for free. That really helped on the wallet front. Second, I’m going to miss the series. I’ve been reading it for so long that now it’s going to be weird reading anything else. Maybe I’ll ease myself back into non-Warhammer stuff by making a stopover in the Alien novels.

I’m glad I was able to stick with it and read all of them. I’d tried to get through the series as they were first coming out, but having to wait a long time between novels was tough. I love the big over-the-top shooty sci-fi of it all, and getting so many books to watch characters grow and evolve was a fun time. I liked knowing the gist of the ending and seeing how everything lined up to get there, especially at the end, as so many narrative throughlines started getting their payoffs, or their set-ups for Warhammer 40,000 stuff.

While I go sit on a golden throne couch and think about everything that brought me to this point, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Is there any D&D 5E class more flexible without a single multiclass level than the Artificer?

We're all still waking up from our holiday season slumber, with Blizzard starting to dole out new announcements for the new year.

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’s a culinary battle out here, and Two Bosses Enter the arena: “Hemborger Steak,” a delicious beef patty served with eggs, vegetables, and a rich sauce faces off against “Yakisoba Pan,” a hot dog bun filled with noodles, pork belly, and yakisoba sauce. Who wins? Who loses? What’s the ultimate dish?!

As you ponder this extremely important question, we welcome you into The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we’re hungry. We’re very, very hungry.

It's 2026, and the more things change, the more they stay the same.

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.
