New Buildingsystem - alternativ idea

Support Technical Support

I have an alternative idea for building in wow. Make it portable, like a pocket house. A house you can design and customize further when you place it, and take it down you pocket. This way, people are not forced to be certain places, forced to be in a guild area. The freedom comes with the ability to place a house at random. Ofcouse this has to be timelimited. Like 1 hour, and it will disappear. Then just respawn your house. Because come on, honerstly. Who enter World of Warcraft just to sit in a house for ages. Anyway.
You can also just build a town with you guild at places where there are plenty of open space. You all have a house, then have the guildmaster have a second guildtower to mark where we are building today.
But keep the damm house in hour pocked - this idea came from Warcraft 3, where you can place pocket towns and towers and, well… small cities.

What do you guys think?

The idea looks good on paper, with time limited housing for 1h. However, if you can plunk it down anywhere in the open world it means it also reduced NPC spawns for mobs for example questing zones or entirely block off entire other zones.

Not to mention the model of the house would need to be textured for other players causing potential serious zone/pc lag and therefore zone instability. Which is already getting alleviated by realm sharding but it shouldn’t get intentionally hit too much by being persistently present.

Atleast we’re not getting into the instant buyout/bid wars for land plots like AA/FF did in the early days :smiley: though I did like to see how the houses were decorated from the outside and wandering in when they were around for modelling ideas.
