Here are some ideas I got for the single housing (please keep in mind it’s just ideas so some can be good or bad :sweat_smile:):

  • You can’t fly when you are in your house + there are no flight path in your house.
  • Every of your characters can have house but only one per character.
    If you want another one (new location) for the same character, you will got the new one but everything will be reset (except the decorations you already have + your music rolls) for the old one and you will lose the access to this one.
  • You can invite your friends in your house using a toy (30s cooldown) sells by a vendor. It opens a portal to your house. Open a portal to your house for 50 seconds.
  • You can choose your location for your house at Stormwind/Orgrimmar. Same thing if you want a new location.
  • How it works when you’re inside:
    Same concept as WoD Garrison => When you’re in your “house”, only you are inside. Of course you can invite your friends to come too.
  • Where:
    “Nowhere” => The location of your house is “unknown” but you know where you are (if your house is in Elwynn forest, you know you’re somewhere in the Elwynn forest but your “location” is “unknown”).
    So with that “concept” we can have many more locations for housing without having troubles with the current maps.
    => The best example I have for that is the Darkmoon Faire isle. You know where you are but your location is “unknown”.

  • Locations:

    • Elwynn Forest (human architecture style)
    • Durotar (orc architecture style)
    • Ashenvale (night elf architecture style)
    • Eversong Woods (blood elf architecture style)
    • Dun Morogh (dwarf architecture style)
    • Tirisfal Glades (forsaken architecture style)
    • Feralas (mix between “hunter”/highborne/night elf architecture style)
    • The Hinterlands (wildhammer dwarf architecture style)
    • Eastern Plaguelands (“creepy” architecture style)
    • Duskwood (haunted architecture style)
    • Winterspring (“Arctic” architecture style => like Everlook)
    • Grizzly Hills (“Grizzly Hills” architecture style)
    • Valley of the Four Winds (pandaren farmer architecture style)
    • The Jade Forest (pandaren/mogu empire architecture style)
    • Val’sharah (druid architecture style => like the Dreamgrove)
    • Stormheim (vrykul architecture style)
    • Tiragarde Sound (kul tiran architecture style)
    • Zuldazar (zandalari architecture style)

    (all buildings will be in the architecture style from their location except for your class building)

  • Buildings we could have:
    • Our house
    • An Inn
    • A stable => You can put 5 of your favorite mounts (as the stable of the WoD Garrison). It’s for each character and not all character, as the stable of the WoD Garrison where we have the same for all characters.
      Here each of your characters can choose what mounts it wants to see in its stable (up to 5).
      Just speak with the character in your stable to “save” your 5 favourite mounts.
    • Many other ones just for cosmetic like a mage tower, a barn, an engineering works, a tailoring emporium, a forge, an arcane sanctum, a lumber yard, an arsenal
  • Building positioning:
    • As in the WoD Garrison => You will have two large plots, two medium plots and three small plots. You will have your house too (but it doesn’t count in the plots you will take to build your other buildings).
    • Use the architect’s table in your house to choose the location and to build the building. The architect’s table is only for buildings and not decorations.
    • When you build a building there are generic characters with generic names inside => You can change their appearance (change its race and its sex).
  • Class buildings:
    It’s a building exclusive to your class. You can built it according to your class. It can be a building for a large plot or a medium plot.
    Here are two examples:
    • Class building for hunter: Pet Den => You can put 5 of your favorite pets as hunter.
      You can see them walking in this building and you can have some interactions with them (at least pat them like Deathfang, Draka’s Companion).
      The Pet Den architecture can be different according to the location you are (for example: Durotar Pet Den can be a metallic building, Dun Morogh Pet Den can be a little cave and Elwynn Forest Pet Den can be a cozy hut for your pets).
      Just speak with the character in your Pet Den to “save” your 5 favourite pets.
    • Class building for warlocks: Warlock Sanctum => You can put your demonic minions here.
      You can have interactions with them except for the Felhunter (pat option).
      We can find many interactions for your demonic minions like “Hello”, “What are you doing”, “What do you like/dislike”, “How are you”, “Goodbye”, etc. There is no need to have audio, texts should be enough.
      You can only put the ones you have => Imp or Fel Imp + Voidwalker or Voidlord + Sayaad (Succubus/Incubus) or Shivarra + Felhunter or Observer + Felguard or Wrathguard (only for Demonology warlocks).
      Glyphs work with the Warlock Sanctum (your Imp will become a Fel Imp in your Warlock Sanctum)
  • NPCs:
    • Three types:

      • Racial guards:
        You can enable or disable them.
        Default racial guards: Humans or Orcs.
        You can change them with another when you are exalted with one of these factions (buy the item to the reputation vendor to unlock this option on your character or your account):

    • Dungeons/Raids
    • Professions
    • Achievements
    • Quests
    • Vendors
  • What kind of decorations can we get:
    Statues, fountains, new chair models, new painting models and many other models
  • Decoration positioning:
    I don’t know how for now but I’m sure we can find something pretty nice.
  • Useful “tools” for housing:
    • Hearthstone to go in your house (if you delete it, don’t worry, you will receive another one in your mailbox)
    • Innkeeper (sell you Food & Drink for all levels)
    • Vendor + Repairs
    • Portal: Stormwind or Orgrimmar
    • Personal Bank
    • Mailbox
  • Music for housing:
    Same concept as WoD Garrison => You get the music rolls with the same way as WoD Garrison with more new music tracks.
    You already have your jukebox when you got your house.
    You can choose the default music for your house.
    You can change it when you want.
  • Size:
    No need to have a too big area. The WoD Garrison size or the Hall Class (Legion) size should be enough.
  • What can we keep from WoD Garrison:
    • The plots for buildings
    • Jukebox
    • Hearthstone
    • Choose your racial guards
    • Choose your banners
    • Stable but with 5 of your favorite mounts + For each character and not all character, as the stable of the WoD Garrison where we have the same for all characters
    • The architect’s table

I hope this post would be helpful :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
