World of Warcraft: Midnight, Blizzard Entertainment's latest expansion for its iconic MMORPG, demonstrates that The War Within before it wasn't a fluke. World of Warcraft is going through a very strong and very enjoyable phase right now. Does Midnight reinvent the wheel? No, but it's a satisfying expansion with a mostly intriguing storyline, and some fantastic quality of life tweaks and changes that improve upon what continues to be excellent foundations for adventuring.
Hardcore raiders will have to wait a little longer for new raids (March 17 is the date to put on your calendar), but for everyone else, Midnight is a fantastic adventure. Alterations Midnight does bring, such as reinventing some familiar zones, makes me wonder what the future might hold for the game that has continued to reign supreme for over 20 years. It isn't perfect and some opportunities are missed but it already leaves me keen to see if the upcoming The Last Titan expansion – the third part of the World Soul Saga – could be the best expansion yet. Hefty praise for a game on its 11th expansion pack and its 22nd year – Midnight simply makes me feel good to be a World of Warcraft fan.
