World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with Blizzard unveiling initial details. The developers assure players that homes will be accessible to everyone, irrespective of complex prerequisites, exorbitant costs, or lotteries. Crucially, homes won't be forfeited due to lapsed subscriptions. The complete housing feature set is scheduled for integration with the Midnight expansion.
Initially, players can select a plot in one of two designated zones: Alliance players will find options in Elwynn Forest, incorporating elements from Westfall and Duskwood; Horde players can choose from Durotar, featuring aspects of Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each zone is subdivided into districts, each accommodating approximately 50 homes. Players can opt for a standalone property or establish a private community with friends and guild members. Extensive customization is promised, with a vast array of decorative options. The majority will be obtainable in-game, while some will be available via the in-game shop.
Blizzard underscores the housing system's core tenets: extensive customization, robust social interaction, and enduring appeal. Further details regarding the housing system are forthcoming, and player feedback is actively solicited.
