What other games do has no bearing on what WoW does/can do.
Housing will probably be good, I’m not doubting that. Imjust letting you know, expectating detailed building like in the OP is gonna cause you a massive let down.
but if basically the only argument that WoW can’t is because it’s old…
but we see older games that did implement it.
then I am not going to just accept WoW can’t…for no other reason than it’s old.
I am not saying it will or won’t. and i fully believe people are going to have too lofty of expectations.
edit : mobile auto correct hates me

This is why we can’t have nice things.
I think people let their mind wander and get ahead of themselves.
Just keep your expecin check, it’s not going to be the most detailed.
I’m really putting my money on New World style.
Your house is gonna look the same as everyone else’s. Sure you might get to pick some colour differences here and there. But your bed will be in the bed spot, your dresser in the dresser spot ect…
sure I don’t expect it to be anything highly customized.
but I do think it could be. I just believe they will intentionally go in a different direction. and it won’t be because it can’t be done.
I doubt it’ll be that restricted
I would take LoTRO-style housing neighborhoods and be good with that, but those neighborhoods should have a good variety of biome options.
LoTRO’s had housing for 17 years and only just recently finally made the decoration hooks fully mobile, giving us a lot more freedom to place interior and exterior decorations more precisely. Everyone starts with the same canvas, but 20 people who have my Rohan meadhall can come up with 20 different ways to decorate it.
They worked on housing years ago and scrapped it. So this is at least their second attempt, if not more.
I think they’ll take a lot of what they see in other MMOs and make it their own. But it will have it’s limits for sure.
It will be just a restricted as garrisons. I mean this is just Garrisons 2.0.
Nah that’s silly. Nothing they’ve said or showed hints at that.
My expectation is that the house shell will be pre-built but like dragon/dirigible customization, there will be lots of modifiable components/skins.
It will be interesting to find out if this iteration has basically a single base house with a focus on the interior or if there is any variety of exterior templates and/or some landscaping/gardening options,
In order to make the housing system an Evergreen system, they will have to place the house on an island.
I was thinking the evergreening could be to introduce new house/plot templates in different locations, the way the dirigible is this expansion’s version of DF’s customizable dragons.
Good thing we have dozens of those thanks to the past 6 expansions…
They can and should give us full customization. FFXIV and ESO allow for a grid-free placing of items practically anywhere using simple click and drag axis guides.
What I fear happening is us getting a few templated house layouts with empty slots where we can place things from a preselected list. Creativity isn’t deciding what city’s theme I want the coffee table slot to be, it’s deciding I want a hot tub in the middle of my living room!
Also, people should remember that the housing system almost certainly will NOT launch with everything they have planned for it in Midnight.
Hero Talents aren’t exactly great so I wouldn’t get your hopes up about housing.
