Even I’m considering one ”noble’s mansion” build among other ideas just for the purposes of creating a space for some dance night event, with big enough ballroom to fit a raid’s worth of people.
Alternatively an inn build with a courtyard for the same purpose, if I can fake it well enough with the tools and furnishings. On FF14 I enjoyed faking outdoor spots indoors, plus fake windows & window views is a guilty pleasure of mine.
You can import housing builds/design like you can import talents. 
I think this is great.
In today’s Creator Clash: Housing Showcase starting at 5pm CEST / sever time, there’ll be 4 different streamers:
Managed to grab this snap from Marcelian’s stream (linked above) before he went for a break, and it’s nice to see players already exploring ways to make fake windows!
I’m totally going to try and use this to make some weird wizard/haunted house things
I can tell I’m gonna lose/spend so many hours in Housing, and I am a-ok with that.
It’ll be the perfect ’I’ll do this for an hour or so to relax and wind down after work, and before I realize it’s 10pm’
Also link to the official housing clash stream, starting soon:

In the press kit, they have updated the renown track for player housing, it now displays some more information, for renown 7:
I call it ‘weight’ even though it’s not official because they went from 10_000 items in their previous showcase earlier this year to 2500 weight and 10 rooms in the streamer showcase two days ago.
What’s a weight then? A large counter is 5, a small pot is 1, something like a chair is 2 or so. You could see it increase like this in the streams.
If you average the weight at 2/item, then 1400 weight is 700 items for your whole house. The current limit is thus way smaller than before, but still large enough for building multi-rooms houses.
I would love to build a (mecha)gnome hovel.
Inside and out, for all my gnome characters too live in…
A gnome can dream.
I have a wild question.
As somebody who is planning on 2 charatered neighbourhoods (immersive Durotar/Azshara & make-pretend Lordaeron) tailored to open RP and public social hangout, I’d like to advertise those at some point.
When would you folks lean toward advertising such neighbourhoods for inviting people to hang out whenever they like, and is there a risk of flooding this forum with nothing but neighbourhood threads? (remember the old days of 2 pages of guild recruitment threads and 0 discussion?)
I’m just wondering if it might not be worth thinking about how to go about this ahead of time. Say, if there’s enough to make a masterpost, maybe we should organize one by, say, maybe early Spring?
I’m sorry, I had to get these thoughts off my chest right this second.
That’s a good question, Rakihu!
I’m sure there will be many hub-style houses and neighborhoods. Taverns, inns, villages, baronies, secret cult hideouts, you name it, popping up over the course of months.
My take is, hold off until the feature is actually working. Players will definitely experiment with housing at first, and a lot of them will probably change their minds about what they want. I think we should let people try out the feature for a while before asking them to commit to something, and for those already planning to manage private neighbourhoods and falling in love with a concept for it; be understanding if others rethink what they want their house for, especially since you only get one per faction.
Once the feature’s out, maybe a master post would be worth it, as you suggested. The challenge will be just like with guild and Discord listings; they pop up and disappear constantly, and from keeping guild lists on the forums, I’ve learned people never tell you when a guild’s on break or gone. So, there might be a bunch of cool housing/neighbourhood venues that people get hyped about, but then they just stop using them after a while.
When people manage their own threads, it shows dedication and that the place is still looked after. And gives people better control keeping the information up to date. So perhaps the master post, if anyone made one, could act more as a link tree to all the different threads, and if a threads fall inactive, they could be removed from the listing.
The planning can’t start too early… maybe these notes come handy to others too when designing kaldorei style homes.
Posting here from the Midnight thread.
There was an official preview on the WoW Instagram that showed a screenshot of the Renown track at level 7 (out of how many? either way, doesn’t seem too difficult) unlocking 40 rooms, which isn’t even the upper limit.
I’ve tossed and turned trying to wonder which character will get the honour of having their own house, but after looking at all the streams during Gamescom of creators trying out the housing, the rooms can be huge. The Large Square Room in specific is absolutely massive in its size, and you can partition the rooms any which way you like.
So I’m going to build an OOC corridor/lobby from which I’ll then branch out to build the houses for each respective character, allowing one house to potentially host dozens of different builds. Each wall section and room is themed individually, so you need not worry about that Blood elf interior theme clashing with your Orc’s section of the build.
Enter my house
Wonder how you managed to get into rebuild Undercity.
It never left, saw one in the Slaughtered Lamb last night.
As for what house I want to build… naturally a place where a paladin can live, or an adventurer or heck… I remember having a ton of ideas for garrisons aswell back when we thought we could place them everywhere in Draenor, not just in the fixed locations of Lunarfall and Frostwall.
So I reckon I will just hold off and see what’s actually possible over the coming time.
MUGA, Make Undercity Great Again 
Made another housing sheet for the humans among us:
At first, I thought I’d scarcely get anything written for the Elwynn style given how “basic” it is at a glance. However, after I spent some time looking for similarities between houses in-game, and potential real-world influences, I was running out of space! Tried to focus on the most prominent features of the aesthetic.
I wonder of you can place multiple of those small houses on your plot for your characters 
Also, I would love the option for hunters to have a stable where your pets can roam, or for warlocks the option to have your demons wandering the halls of your house.
Kind of what I’m thinking. with 40+ rooms avaible, a room themed to each character seems entirely plausible.
Yeah, but I dont want rooms, I want all of my Alliance characters to have their own little home.
Kinda hard to explain warlocks, death knights, Light worshippers and nature lovers living under the same roof!
Atleast for my Hordies its easier, its just a warlocl and dk
