Midnight is coming... 

Welcome to the Midnight Open Beta! Here's everything currently ready for testing. Content marked (WIP) is still in progress and will be added or expanded over the coming weeks.

The beta realm runs on a copy of the characters from the live TWW realm (Dornogal), taken on October 19, 2026. Your characters from the live realm are already waiting for you on the beta.

The Open Beta will open its doors on Friday, November 6 at 4:00 pm (Server Time).

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE OPEN BETA

Open the Firestorm launcher and you'll find the Midnight client there.

From there, you can choose to either update your current TWW client, both realms will work, or install Midnight from scratch.

A NEW WAY TO REPORT: IN-GAME BUGTRACKER

Hey, everyone! Players can now send bug reports and follow them without leaving the game. Everything lands in the website bug tracker. Beta and PTR realms only as of now. 

Opening it

• The bug button at the top of the screen, /bug, or the new Firestorm button on the minimap (/fssettings)
   

New report

• Same categories as the website, with guided questions for each one.
• Title, what happens, what should happen and the steps.
• Quests, creatures, items and achievements need their ID: quest log picker, "Use my target" or shift-click.
• If that ID already has an open report, the form says so and the new report is added to it.
   

Your reports / Old reports

• Status and the whole conversation: Firestorm Team in blue, other players in grey, status changes in between.
• Replies: More details anytime, Still broken / Fixed for me while a report is in Need test (20 characters minimum).
• Resolved and invalid reports move to Old reports.
• The link icon gives the website link to copy.
   

Notifications

• When the team answers or changes a status, the bug button and the minimap button blink, with a sound and a chat line (within about 5 minutes).
   

Of course, you can still reporting the bugs via our website bugtracker

Thank you for helping us test! Please report any bugs you find!
