I've played World of Warcraft since the distant days of the closed beta (2004. Yes, you may not have been alive for it. Thanks for the reminder) and every time I return, it feels like I'm coming home. Things often change, but there's always a reassuring sense of familiarity. As a predominantly Alliance player, that's also known as chilling in Stormwind but finally, I have an actual home to call my own.
That's thanks to World of Warcraft: Midnight, the latest expansion pack which is set for launch in 2026. It's currently in beta testing for anyone who bought the Epic Edition and one of its most notable additions is player housing. It's early days, but it's the highlight of the whole experience for me right now. It feels like a particularly warm welcome for old school players keen to have somewhere they can always return.
