Build, decorate, and personalize your home in Azeroth with the new Housing feature. Players can earn their own house and plot of land, move into a neighborhood with other players, or establish a neighborhood with their guild. Boundless self-expression awaits you!
So alliance gets an area perfect for forsaken, and horde gets a beach resort? You know how hard it is to float when your skin is full of holes?
Iâm sorry? I loved this when horde housing on beach or jungle.
Since itâs trolls thing well. Iâll love it
You know this is going to be full of bugs.
Is it your goal to post something negative in each one of these threads? 
Could be fun if my Alliance chars spend all their time at the Horde housing area, enjoying the beaches, while the beach towels and swimwear are drying in the breeze from washing lines strung between the spikes on the primitive beach huts.
I was just responding to my thoughts on what Blizzard has been focusing on recently. The game does appear on very slippery downwards slope.
I thought corpses are floaters 
âitâs important to note that while your Horde characters can live in your Alliance house and your Alliance characters can live in your Horde house, you wonât be able to use opposite faction exteriors in that neighborhoodâ
Can you explain why this has been changed? This seems like a pointless restriction in an otherwise 100% Cross faction system. Like if people want to enforce an aesthetic why canât it just be restricted to the neighborhood owner deciding?
Integrate properly!
No, no I LOVE this restriction.
I was really worried about seeing ugly houses all around that completely didnât fit the theme of the zone.
Now, what they COULD do is not have it restricted for private neighbourhoods; having the owner decide in that case. But for public neighbourhoods, I wholeheartedly support that decision.
What I will say though: This is going to make it tough for me to invest heavily into a horde home. Because I donât like the orc and blood elf aesthetic.
Iâll wait for vulpera, tauren or pandaren exteriors to be added.
If you think people arenât going to make ugly houses even with that I have bad news for you lol.
I mean sure, thatâs pretty much what I said.
And therein lies the problem - how is a Blood elf tower more aesthetically sound in a Durator style zone, or a Night elf home in Elwynn. You can be an orc who owns a Night ELf style home in Elwynn forest, that is why this is restriction is pointless.
It should 100% just be decided by the owner of the neighbourhood.
Oh I know. I donât like their whole neighbourhood idea, period.
And Iâm going to get a plot as far away from everything else as I can.
But at least thereâs going to be some basic rules. Elwynn forest full of orc homes would have just look so out of place.
As opposed to Durator zone filled with Belf towers?
Thereâs Azshara parts to that neighbourhood. Theyâll look fine there.
But sure; night elf stuff will look jarring too in Elwynn, but meh⊠Canât have everything.
Yet, they will not be restricted to that part of the zone. Should be left up to the people who own neighborhoods.
Furthermore, the actual issue here is that this is the complete opposite of what got said last week.
Their whole neighbourhood idea is the worst part of the entire housing system.
The whole creation/decoration part looks awesome.
But theyâre trying to shoe-horn âsocial stuffâ into it, which is going to bite them in the butt. Mark my words.
Honestly: They didnât actually change what they said. They just didnât tell us âthe whole thingâ last week.
They just said that weâll be able to have human, orc, night elf and blood elf exteriors at launch.
Nothing was confirmed besides that. And none of that has changed.
I canât wait to get started on my home!!!
Urm, no. The Lead UX designer said, paraphrased:
" n Horde neighborhoods, you will be able to have alliance-themed houses and vice versa.
As part of an interview with T&E at Gamescom, it was literally one of the main takeaways. (They have now 2xâd it in the video as per this, I imagine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeA2FzXivvo&t=4s (Hell they even named the video after it!)
âSo just to clarify, you might see a night elf house in Razorwind shoreâ
âyou might, players are going to organize neighborhoods how they wantâ
Listen to what he actually says.
Heâs not actually answering Evitelâs question.
She asks: Will we able to have horde houses in alliance neighbourhoods?
He says:
When Taliesin then asks for a simple confirmation of âyou might see a night elf house in the middle of razorwind?â (which is a silly question, because I donât believe razorwind is part of the horde neighbourhood, but okay), he answers: You might.
So thatâs a very bad answer; itâs neither a confirmation nor a denial.
Anyway, weâll have to see if these rules apply for private neighbourhoods; since those are much more of a âbespoke experienceâ.
