WoW: Midnight Early Access opens — welcome to “housing brainrot”

Early Access for World of Warcraft: Midnight starts today, meaning the race is on: leveling, gearing, and (let’s be honest) instantly disappearing into player housing.

What it means for gamers: if you bought in, you get a head start on economy, progression, and bragging rights. If you didn’t, expect your guild chat to become 80% “look at my house” screenshots and 20% “please stop.”

Player housing has been a feature requested by the community for over a decade, and its arrival is expected to create a massive social hub activity that persists long after the initial leveling rush.
