In 2025, World of Warcraft will finally introduce its highly anticipated housing system, and Blizzard has unveiled initial details. They've promised a system accessible to all players, regardless of subscription status, avoiding complex requirements, exorbitant prices, or lotteries. This exciting feature is slated for release with the Midnight expansion.
Initially, players can select a plot in one of two zones: an Alliance zone (combining elements of Elwynn Forest, Westfall, and Duskwood) or a Horde zone (blending Durotar, Azshara, and the Durotar coastline).
Each zone will be divided into districts, each hosting approximately 50 homes. Players can choose to settle in an open area or create a private community with friends and guildmates. Extensive customization options will be available, with most obtainable in-game, and some offered in the shop.
Blizzard emphasizes three core principles underpinning the housing system: extensive customization, robust social interaction, and enduring longevity. Further details will be revealed in the future, and they encourage player feedback.
