What’s in the Midnight Beta

The Beta for Midnight launched on November 11, 2025 at 3pm EST. Although there were some really slow server issues with everyone trying to log in, around 5:30pm, we were able to get in to get our first peak at the newest expansion.

For the Beta, you have a few options for characters:

• Copy a character from your active account

• Make a Template character who will be level 80

• Start at level 1 and make a new character to play through

As of 5:30am on November 12, the Beta had more players standing around in Dornogal than in The War Within.

So now that the Beta is out, what should we expect? Well most of the content will drop on the first week. Weeks 2 and 3 will have some of the end game content, like dungeons and raids. But they’re not giving everything away, so in the Voidspire and March on Quel’Danas, you don’t have access to the last boss.

Week 1:

• Expansion Introduction

• Leveling 81-90

• All Zones

  • The battle between Light and the Void spans across four new zones: Eversong Woods, Zul’Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.

  • Earn the trust of the Haranir through a series of quests to unlock this new allied race.
