Absolutely, they’ve stated that PH is an evergreen feature and will continue to be expanded upon forever.
Also if I’m not mistaken, they actually have a dedicated team for housing,
looks at the desicated corpses of the pandaria farm. the garrisons,archegology,legion missions,borrowed power systems,dragonflight skill trees…
blizzard:“we expect this to be evergreen content” *most of it gets abandoned or left by the wayside one to two expansions later.

When did they ever state that Garrisons, the mission tables, and borrowed power systems were meant to be evergreen content?

when they first rolled them out.
I remember when artifact weapons were first announced, they had stated early on that they wouldn’t follow us after Legion.

I promise goblin style flamingos on my lawn!
I wouldn’t mind having my own instanced plot with the optional ability to make it publicly available for others to visit, like in SWToR or Palia.

Yeah I fear we’ll never see anything other than the orc/human stuff we get when this launches. Seems like the plan is to waste a ton of resources on these neighborhoods no one will care about by the end of the first season instead of giving players more options.

That line right there says a lot
It’s already in game, I have one
Yup. I was hoping Blizz would have the sense to do housing like WildStar, were everyone had their own plot of land to do whatever they wanted with. And if you wanted to hook your land to the land of friends you could.
Instead, Blizz is wasting time and effort making housing zones with neighborhoods. Why make zones when you can just let the player decide what kind of land their house is on and what their house looks like? In WildStar, I had houses in deserts I had houses in spooky haunted forests, I had a house under water. I had a house on the moon. You could make your house be in any environment you wanted. And the player does all the work. All the devs had to do was make the assets and let the players go nuts with them.
I don’t have any interest being stuck in a housing zone next to people I don’t know. I wanted to build houses and landscapes again.

I live in a rural, wooded area where I would be doing well to reach any of my neighbors’ houses with a thrown baseball. Going back to cramped, apartment life in the big city where I always heard my neighbors and had to fight for good parking would be difficult if not impossible.
“2-3 more expansions”?? I think I missed something. Not sure I want to know. Nothing more after Midnight and Titan??
Unfortunately it takes at least two people to be ‘social’ and no matter how hard you try on your end, it can still be a horrible experience. It has often little to do with your “ability” to be social and more with your “perseverance of others’ inability”.
I’m curious how people have played for 20 years and even after being beaten with a shovel to unalive and back again a dozen times on this topic they still don’t get WoW is a game about Orcs and Humans.
You don’t type in caps. You have caps typed at you, lol.

Wildstar failed as a game let’s not forget. The arts and crafts people separated themselves from the larger community and MMOs live and die based on the sense of attachment and commitment to others.
Putting people in neighborhoods will forcibly create communities. Fight it all you like, driving players together is a proven model for success for WoW.
ah yes such a measured and reasonable response to someone wanting a different option that isnt in a neighborhood.
people like you are the reason wow doesnt improve. you are a blight on the forums.

Couldn’t you make a Guild Neighborhood and just not have any guildies to bypass the entire forced neighborhood thing anyway?
theres a difference between wanting a different option and genuinely losing their mind over ‘‘being forced into a neighbourhood’’ like he’s being sent to a korean detention camp
either way tho, LOL, cant believe u fell for their bait
keep ur head in the books youngin

That isn’t what killed the game. What killed wildstars was them, for many years, only catering to the elite players. There was no housing, almost no world content and everything was raids for a long long time, which too forever to be attuned to.
Once the company changed the game to be more casual, they started to add more things in, more players actually started to come back but it was far too late then. Ff14 and swtor took those players.
It was catering to the “elites” that killed wildstars. You need casuals in your game
Guaranteed, if the player base and the developers from the get go didn’t treat casual players as red headed step children, they wouldn’t have closed down the game.

Lol they give us housing and neighborhoods and you think wow isn’t improving. I swear, you give an inch and the forum community will take the damn planet.
