Blizzard has unveiled exciting details about the upcoming in-game housing system set to debut in World of Warcraft: Midnight. Although the expansion is slated for release post-The War Within, as part of the Worldsoul saga, early previews hint at a level of customization that exceeds many players' expectations.

A recent developer blog showcased in-game videos demonstrating the intricacies of furniture placement. The system utilizes a grid for alignment, with automatic snapping that ensures items are positioned perfectly. Players can further enhance their spaces by decorating larger objects such as shelves or tables with smaller accessories that remain attached even when the larger piece is moved.

The housing system offers two distinct modes: a Basic Mode for those who prefer straightforward organization, and an Advanced Mode tailored for creative builders. In Advanced Mode, players have the freedom to rotate objects along all three axes and stack them in imaginative ways, facilitating the creation of intricate and visually stunning interiors.

Another highlight of the system is the ability to scale objects, catering to different character sizes. This feature allows gnomes to craft cozier spaces, while larger races like tauren can enjoy more expansive layouts. Additionally, some furniture pieces designed specifically for this housing system will support recoloring, although legacy assets may not include this option.

With the release of Midnight still on the horizon, Blizzard continues to generate buzz by teasing upcoming content, keeping the player base engaged and eager for the game's future developments.
