  Happy Maintenance, nerds! Today all Classic eras have a regular ol maintenance window, while Retail's is long, for patch 12.1. My headcanon is that they're taking this time to make sure all the snakes get a nice rat to eat. Adventurers are too stringy and lack certain nutrients snakes need to thrive. #WorldOfWarcraft #PatchDay https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/08/11/wow-patch-12-1-arrives-super-sized-maintenance-classic-realms-will-back-online-quickly/

  We're halfway through Turbulent Timeways in #WorldofWarcraft Midnight, with just three weeks left to get four weeks of the Mastery of the Timeways buff to collect your very own Vyranoth mount. (Or to just keep leveling alts at ludicrous speed while you ponder what to play in patch 12.1.) It's Classic Timewalking this week, but unfortunately I think I'm well past my lifetime quota of running Dire Maul. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/07/21/turbulent-timeways-back-12-0-7-dragonflight-d...

  It's been 10 years since we last saw this #Hearthstone Tavern Brawl. No, for real. So you might want to buckle up and grab these deck codes. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/13/shadow-towers-tavern-brawl/

  I have never once in my life wondered when I could go back to Siege of Orgrimmar, the Hotel California of Warcraft raids. So it is with mixed feelings that I report Siege of Orgrimmar is coming to Mists of Pandaria Classic with Phase 5, launching in June. Please report in if you manage to escape. We have a support group that meets Tuesdays during maintenance. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/13/mists-pandaria-phase-5-siege-orgrimmar-timeless-isle/

  I'm a little irked that these classic WoW transmogs are so amazingly rendered in Diablo 4, especially since they have armor dyes and don't have to run Void Assaults for the 3rd recolor of the same transmog, which they can't even see in isometric top-down gore-splattered combat. Just a tad. #WorldofWarcraft #Diablo4 #Transmog #TheRealEndGame https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/14/world-warcraft-diablo-4-crossover-rewards/

  We usually don't post The Queue to socials, because that's where we, like, hang out, you know? But I just have to draw everyone's attention to Liz's phenomenal Great Value treehouse build. #PlayerHousing #WorldofWarcraft https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/14/queue-trees-home/

  Don't forget to snag your free games of the week! This week its Telltale's Batman, and Sunderfolk, which is from a bunch of former Blizzard devs. Sunderfolk is really interesting in that it's a couch co-op party game which uses phones as the controllers... but I don't have IRL friends to do couch co-op :( #EpicGames #FreeGame https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/14/epic-games-store-giving-away-sunderfolk-telltale-batman-shadows-edition-free-week/

  Phase 2 of The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary released May 14. Phase 2 features The Eye and SSC raids, as well as the Skettis. This lets all players get the Sporebat mounts, answering the question "which Hunter pet is best?" #sporebat #TBCClassic #WoWClassic https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/15/phase-2-may-14-burning-crusade-classic-anniversary-realms/

  Liz went on vacation last week so I volunteered to write the weekly wrapup post. Don't call it a comeback, etc https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/18/blizzard-watch-weekly-return-mack/

  Hey girl, are you a World of Warcraft server? Because you announced in advance you're going to be offline for an extended period today for self care and maintenance, and I gotta respect that. #WorldofWarcraft #ExtendedMaintenance https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/19/long-maintenance-day-world-warcraft/

  RE: https://gamepad.club/@BlizzardWatch/116601705994265651 World of Warcraft servers are back online early. That's it, I don't have any jokes are snide comments. The servers are online, so good luck with your next loot drop!

  If you could add one animal mount to World of Warcraft, it would obviously be a giraffe. If you could add a second animal mount to World of Warcraft, again, obviously, it would be a flying shark. But if you could add a third animal mount to World of Warcraft... #WorldofWarcraft #Mounts #Collections https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/20/add-animal-mount-world-warcraft-choose/

  For this week's Lore Watch Podcast, Matt, Joe, and Eric talked about who Astalor Bloodsworn is —where we've seen him before, and what the deal is with Anguish. They also talked Hemet Nesingwary’s entourage, and Elune and the World Trees, which both sound like bands from the Riverdale universe. #WorldofWarcraft #Lore #Astalor https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/20/lore-watch-podcast-astalor-bloodsworn-whats-deal-anguish/

  I had a slight panic attack earlier today because I looked at my WoW Twitch Drops, and apparently I'd only watched 1 hour and 17 minutes toward the Cuddly Pearl Grrgle decor item! Lucky for me, there's still around 24 hours to go to get it. Whew. #WorldofWarcraft #TwitchDrops #PlayerHousing https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/04/24/twitch-drops-blizzard/

  "We were trying to save you from yourselves by capping Crests, but if that's the way you want it, fine. We hope you choke on them, sickos." - probably not something Blizzard would actually say except in the Slack chat. #WorldofWarcraft #Midnight #Crests https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/20/season-1-upgrade-crest-caps-removed-wow-midnight/

  Seems like just yesterday we were doing the Epic Games advent calendar, but it's time for Summer Game Fest. It kicks off today with a Six One Indie at noon eastern, which showcases (appropriately) 61 indie games. #SummerGameFest #IndieGames #Gaming https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/21/summer-game-fest-2026-schedule/

  There are two — but maybe technically four — great games for free this week on the Epic Games Store. #FreeGames #EpicGamesStore https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/21/epic-games-store-giving-away-tomb-raider-remastered-1-2-3-bermuda-free-week/

  If you've been wondering how long you have to finish up Diablo 4's season journey rank reliquary battle pass, Season 13 is a short season, and it's just about a month before Season 14 launches. And, yes, I'm just throwing all the words at this hoping some of them will stick, because no one can actually keep track of what things are called in Diablo 4. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/21/diablo-4-season-14-start-estimating-kickoff-june-30/

  Some of us play games looking for a challenge, to test themselves. Not me! I just ran through BWL for transmog and I feel like a GOD. What past content have you been jumping back into now that we're in a much-relished content released lull? #WorldofWarcraft #Midnight #QotD https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/22/content-war-within-jumped-back-now-youre-overpowered/

  Hearthstone is probably the best weekend game Blizzard has, because you can play it while lying in a hammock with a drink and your eyes half-open. If you don't want to put too much effort into this week's Brawl, we have some decks you can use (and a primer on how to use deck codes from your hammock) #Hearthstone #Brawl #HearthstoneDecks https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/20/decks-need-win-lead-front-hearthstone-tavern-brawl/

  Not that we're trying to be a 90s hack comic or anything, but what's the deal with lights outside in Player Housing? It's been disappointing -- that's what she said -- but now we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. #WorldofWarcraft #PlayerHousing https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/04/whats-happening-external-lighting-warcraft-player-housing/

  This week's maintenance is easy peasy lemon squeezy for all eras of #WorldofWarcraft. I plan on opening my #Vault with a lemonade this week. It's a beautiful day out there. Get some sun while we wait. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/05/another-short-tuesday-maintenance-world-warcraft/

  Is #Diablo4 having its Reaper of Souls moment? We'll waiting to see how the Lord of Hatred expansion develops before deciding whether Diablo 4 is having a renaissance. This and more Diablo discussion on the latest Blizzard Watch Podcast, which is now live. Tune in for the full Diablo discussion... plus a little more Blizzard news that we felt obligated to talk about. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/01/blizzard-watch-podcast-diablo-4-lord-hatred-junk-talk/

  We're headed into an extended maintenance Tuesday as all #WorldofWarcraft realms are now scheduled to be offline an extra hour. Still, that means those of us on the east coast have a perfectly timed lunchtime vault check, so it's not all bad. (I'm trying here, okay.) https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/05/05/another-short-tuesday-maintenance-world-warcraft/

  RE: https://gamepad.club/@BlizzardWatch/116522377783905193 Good news! Realms are back online after extended maintenance, and also I pulled a pretty okay necklace out of the vault. Hopefully you got something good, too!

  On Wednesdays we wear pink. Yes, even when we're fighting demons. (Especially when we're fighting demons. It throws them off guard.) p.s. yes I have a totally normal dog and I love my totally normal dog. don't be mean to my totally normal dog.
