Blizzard has provided a tantalizing glimpse into the upcoming in-game housing system for World of Warcraft: Midnight. Set to launch post-The War Within as a part of the Worldsoul saga, this expansion promises a level of customization that has left many players eagerly anticipating its arrival.
A recent developer blog showcased in-game videos detailing the functionality of furniture placement. The system utilizes a grid layout with automatic snapping, allowing players to align items seamlessly. Additionally, larger objects such as shelves or tables can be adorned with smaller accessories that remain attached when repositioned, offering a dynamic decorating experience.
The housing system features 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 on all three axes and stack them in innovative ways, enabling the creation of intricate and visually stunning interiors.

Another notable feature is the ability to scale objects, catering to the varying sizes of different characters. For instance, gnomes can design more intimate and cozy spaces, while larger races like tauren can opt for more expansive layouts. Some furniture pieces designed specifically for this system will also support recoloring, although this feature may not be available for legacy assets.
With Midnight still months away, Blizzard is keeping the excitement alive by continuously teasing upcoming content, ensuring that players remain engaged and eagerly await the game's future updates.
