What developers shared about WoW housing
We highlighted all key points from recent interviews with the game developers to share with you. Here is what Blizzard says about upcoming WoW housing:
Players were asking for this feature for the whole game’s existence. However, since some solutions were impossible due to capacity limits, this idea was nothing more than a dream. The developers were unsure if this feature would be relevant for the game. But now, they decided to give it a confident form. They base key aspects of WoW player housing on the community’s wishes. They don’t just work on what housing has to be. They also keep track of what it is supposed not to be. Even though we have very little information about WoW housing right now, the developers promised to share much more information early next year.
They also shared their retrospective opinion on garrisons from WoD expansion and admitted many mistakes. The biggest lesson they learned is that such a base-building feature has to be much more social and shouldn’t be players’ power point. This means that players must feel free and not be forced to create their own space. Everyone agreed that this previous experience with garrisons created an ultimate understanding of what WoW player housing should be and should not be.
The developers also calmed down some players, confirming that World of Warcraft housing will be here to stay. This feature will not be exclusive to Midnight expansion. They also mentioned that the Stormwind-inspired house style in the teaser will not be the only option. They want to give players a wide choice of how their houses will be.
Final thoughts
Many players were amazed by the official confirmation that WoW housing would become a reality during the Midnight expansion. The request for such an addition to the game is almost legendary and has been around for decades. There are not enough words to describe all the expectations of World of Warcraft player housing. As much as players are happy with this confirmation, they are anxious about the results. We understand how much any new information on this topic is needed. So, we will monitor the situation and update this article with any news about WoW player housing.
