'World of Warcraft: Midnight' is FINALLY delivering one of the game's most fan-requested features, but there are six things I want to see the system incorporate to make sure it really lands

On November 13, 2024, during Warcraft’s 30^th Anniversary Direct, Blizzard dropped a major bombshell announcement at the end of the event – player housing will finally be added to World of Warcraft in the upcoming Midnight expansion.

For the uninitiated: player housing is a gameplay feature that allows players to buy a house and decorate it with all kinds of furniture, trophies, and other items they acquired throughout their adventures. Player housing is a popular feature in the MMORPG genre, having been in titles like Final Fantasy 14, Ultima Online, and Elder Scrolls Online, to name a few. Yet strangely, World of Warcraft has never had player housing despite being one of the most popular and best-selling MMORPGs in history.
