World of Warcraft: Midnight review — This dark middle act has immense ambition, but Blizzard is spreading itself thin at the cost of quality

World of Warcraft: Midnight.

I should preface this by saying I have over 15,000 hours played in World of Warcraft, and have been playing largely non-stop since the U.S. launch back in 2004. I've played WoW at its best and at its worst, and never in my wildest dreams did I think back when I was a teenager that I'd still be playing it even now.

It's a testament to Blizzard and World of Warcraft's development team that the game is still as popular as it is. Nothing I say here can detract from that success story. But as a long-time player and passionate fan, Midnight has been something of an inflection point for the current regime, I feel. It's as if the update cadence is creating cascading quality issues that are coming to a head in Midnight.
