World of Warcraft Introduces Accessible Player Housing in Upcoming Expansion

Blizzard unveils details for its long-awaited housing feature, emphasizing inclusivity and social interaction.

Blizzard confirms player housing will debut in the Midnight expansion for World of Warcraft, offering homes to all players without restrictive costs or lotteries.
The housing system will include two initial zones: one for Alliance players inspired by Elwynn Forest and Westfall, and one for Horde players inspired by Durotar and Azshara.
Houses will be shared across a player's Warband, allowing characters from different factions on the same account to access the same home.
Neighborhoods will consist of 50 plots and can be public or private, enabling players to live alongside friends, guildmates, or strangers in persistent, customizable communities.
Blizzard aims to avoid common pitfalls seen in other MMOs, such as Final Fantasy XIV's lottery system and maintenance requirements, ensuring players retain their homes even if inactive.
