Blizzard has unveiled exciting details about the upcoming in-game housing system in *World of Warcraft: Midnight*. Although the expansion is set to launch after *The War Within* as part of the Worldsoul saga, early previews indicate a level of customization that exceeds many players' expectations.
A developer blog recently showcased in-game videos demonstrating the intricacies of furniture placement. The system utilizes a grid with automatic snapping, making it easy to align items. Players can also decorate larger objects, such as shelves or tables, with smaller accessories that remain attached even when moved around.
The housing system offers two distinct modes: a Basic Mode designed for simple organization and an Advanced Mode tailored for creative builders. In Advanced Mode, players have the freedom to rotate objects on all three axes and stack them in unique ways, facilitating the creation of intricate and visually stunning interiors.

Another highlight of the system is the ability to scale objects, catering to the varying sizes of different character races. For example, gnomes can craft more intimate, cozy spaces, whereas larger races like tauren can design more expansive layouts. Additionally, certain furniture items designed specifically for this housing system will support recoloring, although legacy assets might not have this feature.
With *Midnight* still several months away, Blizzard is keeping the community engaged by continuously teasing the upcoming content, ensuring that players remain excited and eager for future updates.
