As has been mentioned, Midnight, the next expansion pack, comes out in March. One of the highly anticipated features is customizable housing for players. This is something that has been on the wish list since the game first launched and Blizzard finally decided to put it in.
Aby of the above pictures should be clickable to enlarge. If they aren’t, too bad. On the left is my little piece of the world… of Warcraft. The middle is a wider view showing the surroundings, and on the right is a map of the neighborhood where my house is (look for the little silver arrow)
The guild I am currently part of is named Fallout, and the guild neighborhood is, of course, called Fallout Shelter. There are also public neighborhoods for people not in a guild, or who just don’t want to live in a guild neighborhood, and you can also create private neighborhoods for just yo and your friends.
At this point there isn’t much to do with housing. This is the beta version that they’re calling “early access” but it’s obvious there are already other features that will be added. For the time being I’m perfectly happy playing The Sims of Warcraft.
Edited to add – Of course after introducing all of the characters I’d been playing more actively, I picked up playing someone completely different.
I promise you there is an Orc Mage under that turban and those ridiculous shoulders. Guede is a Warsong Orc, one of the tribes that… blah, blah Black Portal… blah, Kil’jaeden and Gul’dan, blah, Demon Blood of Mannoroth, etc. The point is, he’s an OG orc as opposed to a Mag’har orc who only became a playable race much later. He is pictured wearing the Breezebinder’s Vestments from Mists of Pandaria (ca. 2012) which I have always kind of liked. I started Guede with a level boost from pre-ordering Legion? Maybe? Anyway, he is not one that I started from level 1 and played from the beginning but I’m still quite fond of the little guy.
