World of Warcraft Launches Player Housing Early Access for Midnight Preorders

Blizzard casts housing as a creative pillar for WoW with tuning to follow based on live player feedback.

Overview

  • Early access began December 2 for players who preordered Midnight, with an automatic housing tutorial quest delivered upon logging in after patch 11.2.7.
  • Blizzard published a step-by-step guide and released a Housing 101 overview video explaining how to claim a plot and start decorating.
  • A typical house costs about 1,000 gold, the fee is waived for brand-new players, and homes can be relocated between plots or neighborhoods for a charge.
  • Players can customize interiors and exteriors using items earned from quests, raids, professions, and vendors, with simple and advanced placement tools and progression that unlocks additional rooms and capacity.
  • Homes persist through subscription lapses by moving into storage for later restoration, and completing the housing tutorial grants cross-game rewards including an Overwatch 2 skin.
