Blue Posts are official communications from Blizzard Entertainment that provide updates, developer insights, and gameplay changes for World of Warcraft.

This Monday, November 17, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team in the Twilight Highlands on the “Midnight Prelaunch Event” realm to playtest the upcoming Midnight pre-launch event, where we’ll learn more about the Twilight’s Blade with the help of Magister Umbric and Grand Magister Rommath.

The experience will begin with the quest “The Cult Within” in Stormwind if you’re Alliance or in Orgrimmar if you’re Horde, and will eventually lead all players to the Twilight Highlands in the Eastern Kingdoms. The event in the Twilight Highlands has a rapid cadence, and should appear in the Event tracker, which you can view by opening your Map and clicking on the Events tab that appears when the map is minimized.
