I’m legitimately asking.
I play wow primarily for collecting (mounts mostly) but I’ve never understood the appeal of player housing even though I seem like the primary demographic.
What are people excited for? Why is it interesting? What’s the killer feature - hanging up my thunderfury?
People like customizing, People like having a place to call their own, logic follows People like to have a place to make their own.
Also great for RP.
MMO Roleplay Game.
it could be nice if its done in a wholesome manner where you have to do ingame things to decorate/upgrade/whatever.
im scared they will end up selling stuff in the shop and thats not so wholesome heh
Garrison 2.0.
in b4 ‘dead game’ ‘cities are empty’ yad yada comments, no everyone’s just looking at the same participation trophy on the wall as everybody else.
At this point housing is kind of a basic level of MMO content. The fact WoW is the last one to implement it is sad lol.
I’m glad people are happy but I also never understood player housing.
To me the fun of a game like this comes from the story and adventure. The whole point was to be out in the world. Not inside my house.
Azeroth may be the only place younger players can afford a house for a long time 
.
So any games with housing you just spend the entire game inside the house?
Sounds like a personal issue lol.
well in other games, its just fun, another thing to do for rewards but also its fun decorating and making a building with whatever you want, for example someone posted a few days ago here about a person who made the naxxramas necropolis in gw2
but for wow? I doubt it will be good like that
i cant afford a house irl so i want a fantasy house with a gate and a dragon
A lot of it is about having a customizable space of your own.
I’m surprised Blizzard is doing it at all. It’s not an unwelcome addition, but it is surprising to me.
Blizzard will definitely be using the cash shop to sell all sorts of furniture. It may not come right away but it is in the plan because if the business is not generating revenue out of player housing, then the expansion may be considered a fail.
Also, it would be a great opportunity for them to sell real life items in Blizzard Gear that reflect the player housing in game. You have one right at your home just as it reflects what you have in game.

Inb4 random people who don’t like housing coming here and say that “Housing is trash” just because they don’t like it
It scratches the decoration/customization itch.
It adds something to the game other than “killkillkill.”
If you’ve ever played something like Animal Crossing (I’ve loved those games since the Gamecube edition), it really appeals to that kind of gameplay. But stitching it into larger game like WoW - it enhances the gameplay loop. It allows for more interesting loot and quest rewards. It opens up room for professions to have a bit “more” going on.
The ability to upgrade and expand your house, along with seeing your decor come together over time, also adds a more concrete sense of progression. It adds a sense of accomplishment to continually iterate on and expand your home.
That hadn’t occurred to me. It should have, seeing how cynical I am, suppose I was blinded by the possibility of having a corral where all my mounts can frolic.
what an odd thing to say.
No I typically don’t play house decorating games or use housing features.
That’s fine if you like those things, never said it wasn’t lol, I just don’t understand the appeal myself.
Never played Skyrim?
Why are you excited for mount collecting?
How are we supposed to gear up for M+++ in this “RP” thing?
Does it give BiS Mythic track gear?
What ilvl drops for doing Mythic RP?
