So i have been wondering who will own the house of my chars when housing gets in to the game…? Will it be automatic? Only one char can pick to be owner of the house?Can other chars be in house? I guess I’ll pick char im most active with…Can’t have more then one house huh?
You can have 1 Horde and 1 Alliance house.
They are account wide, so all your Ally chars can use the Ally house.
Zoning in on Home
We’ve seen a lot of discussion and speculation from the community on WHERE players will be able to have houses*.* We decided early on that there would be two Housing zones available at launch, one for Alliance and one for Horde, with more possible places to live in the future. The Alliance zone takes inspiration from Elwynn Forest with touches of Westfall and Duskwood, and the Horde’s is inspired by Durotar, its coastline, and Azshara.
A Home for Everyone
As a part of our focus on wide adoption, we wanted to ensure that Housing is available to everyone. If you want a house, you can have a house. No exorbitant requirements or high purchase costs, no lotteries, and no onerous upkeep (and if your subscription lapses, don’t worry, your house doesn’t get repossessed!). Your houses are also shared amongst your Warband with your different characters being able to come and go as you see fit (so your Orc character can hang out in your Alliance house without a problem). Housing rewards are also shared across your Warband, so you’ll be able to use your décor collection no matter which character earns it.
Furthermore, it’s not just Warbands that cross factional lines but friendships as well, so you’ll be able to live in or visit your friends’ or guildmates’ houses and their neighborhoods with minimal restrictions regarding faction. For example, while it’s not possible for your Human character to buy a house in the Horde zone, your Troll character in the same Warband can, and then your Human can use it as if it were their own.
There have been two other blog posts about housing
Can any of my chars build in house?
Yes it’s account bound.
Can I visit friends houses even if they’re not in my neighbourhood?
Like, could I sneak into Punyelf’s house and make sure she’s cleaning behind her ears?
I assume you’d have to be in a group like Garrisons.
Unless they use the key system that SWotOR uses for Strongholds
That’d be cool.
Puny gives me a key, I promise to only use in emergencies.
I insist that checking ear hygiene is, infact, an emergency.
Move all her things 1cm to the left.
That settles it.Thank you
Wonder if housing will have used templates that I can switch on the fly, like equipment… if I want a cosy home one day, to quickly swap over to a goth setting the next, etc.
You could have goth rooms and cosy rooms on seperate levels.
As a mage, I will polymorph all her pets into cats.
Unless they’re already cats. In which case they get to be monkeys for a day.
If invited in.
But I have zero interest in an Orc location or architecture, so my Alliance will claiming the housing for my Blood Elf.
i sooo hope u can make savable presets.
its like most vital thing for immersion imo
My Gnomes can still come in and inspect your ears!
…
I’ll need a stepladder or two. You might be puny, but you’re not Gnome puny.
And yeah, I’d like the choice of neighbourhood. Kinda the same with garrisons, I didn’t want to have to be in a snowy place, the alliance got the prettiest garrison. With nicer buildings and interiors.
Same with cities, Stormwind is far better for RP than Orgrimmar. And Boralus is just amazing.
My alliance will no doubt get the most attention. All Hailana really needs is a cozy tower. All Korakk really needs is a kitchen.
And the undead can rot in the basement for all I care. XD
Undead like basement, have you heard of undercity
You can check puny ears in orgrimmar .she frequently is there on her Brutosaur mount
Rest in peace to undercity .so much wasted potential there .
Unless blizzard is planning on using it in future .
That will be only three server crashes and waiting in queue for 2 hours to get in .
