Just saw the teaser. WOW.
Literally, go play WOW. and /y “WOW!”
I also felt Garrisons were the closest to de facto player housing.
But now there’s ACTUALLY player housing coming in Midnight?
Yikes, wow, what a treat. Huge carrot on the stick to dangle. “HEY you always wanted player housing right? Just buy MIDNIGHT. It HAS IT!”
Sold. Thank you. WoW4Ever.
Edit: just so elated at this just HAD to make a celebratory post about it. 
Is Midnight the next expansion, or what is that?
Looking forward to the housing, hopefully it is cool.
its the next expansion, title revealed last year during blizzcon
the expansion after that is last titan
Don’t celebrate too early, it might be poorly fleshed out for all we know, or it might be okay, or it might be great. Have a wait n see.
Oh yeah, when they announced The War Within, it was explained it was part of a trilogy of expansion called the “Worldsoul Saga”. In order:
The War Within
Midnight
The Last Titan
midnight is also 12.0 lol it fits
Oh wow, good catch!!! 
I can already see Blizzard designing a $200+ mobile house for the cash shop (which is also a reskinned Brutosaur, of course).
What if Blizzard introduced player housing by making it inside of your garrison, but with one key change: you could choose the zone where your garrison would be located?
So, now you have access to your garrison along with player housing.
It was a very good reveal. Ion was channelling Columbo. “Just one more thing.”
Noice! While some would attribute that to “Todd Howard” of Bethesda “Oh, just one more thing.”…you more succently attributed that to the legendary Columbo.
Garrisons were not player housing.
The base coding of Garrisons is a starting point for a housing system. But Garrisons were a quest and profession hub. You could swap pre-existing buildings for crafting or bonuses. That’s it.
What if they changed nothing except changing the name of Garrisons to Player Housing…
They would just have to change a few things in the NPC dialog and cutscenes.
“In the name of the Alliance, we establish this gar… I mean, Player Housing as a foothold in this new land”
Garrisons
Are
Not
Player
Housing
Goodness, it surprises me how many people on this forum don’t know what player housing is and haven’t experienced it in other games.
I played Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and I started out in my own house… Oh, GTA 4, I had a few different houses, even had a TV I could click on to watch.
Its the next expansion likely in Feb since all expacs are now about 6 months per what the devs said.
Amen to this. People use the whole Garrison argument as some sort of bizarre attempt at a slam-dunk against housing while utterly missing what makes housing so appealing to many people; personalisation. There was close to none of that with Garrisons. Everyone’s Garrison looked identical other than the placement of a few plots.
Garrisons were essentially giving everyone the same parking garage and letting them choose the colour of the trashcans, at best. There was practically nothing in common with it to the housing we have seem from other MMO over a decade ago.
shrugs I hope they learned their lesson from Garrisons, and do it right. I neutral till I hear more about it.
Don’t forget that cash shop rent on your housing.
They have. Dungeons/raids/world quests are all being scrapped to focus on this new player housing. It is going to be great.
