WoW's Future Housing Plans Include Co-Decorating And A Long-Requested Feature

"In an interview with PC Gamer about the future of WoW player housing, many of the biggest names on the WoW development team, including Blizzard VP and executive producer Holly Longdale and senior game director Ion Hazzikostas, outlined what players can expect from housing in the months and years to come. Among a long list of improvements and new features coming to housing in the near future are Guild Halls."

"What form Guild Halls will actually take remains to be seen, as Kurlancheek didn't offer more details, but they are certain to be a shared space a guild can customize and call their own. On that same subject, Blizzard also confirmed it's looking to add the ability to co-decorate homes, which would be useful for a Guild Hall but also a major boon for those who lack interior decorating skills and would like some help."

"Other housing additions coming soon include "exterior" rooms which will allow for sunlight and exterior views while indoors, larger "medium" sized home exteriors, additional decor and housing renown levels, more visible plot boundaries, and interactive housing objects. Housing features that will take longer but are in the works include an option to have the pets and mounts a player has collected wander their home, as well as a way to import and export player-housing creations."

Blizzard confirmed upcoming player-housing updates will add Guild Halls as shared, customizable guild spaces that are expected to arrive relatively quickly but not in the Midnight pre-patch on January 20. The update will add co-decorating and explore home co-ownership options. Additional immediate housing features include exterior rooms with sunlight and views, larger medium-sized exteriors, more decor and housing renown levels, clearer plot boundaries, and interactive objects. Longer-term plans include allowing collected pets and mounts to roam homes and providing import/export tools for player housing creations. Multiple decor and quality-of-life improvements are planned.
