Blizzard has unveiled exciting details about the new in-game housing system coming to *World of Warcraft: Midnight*. While the expansion is slated for release following *The War Within* as part of the Worldsoul saga, early previews hint at an unprecedented level of customization that has caught the community's attention.
A recent developer blog showcased in-game videos illustrating the functionality of furniture placement. The system employs a grid for item alignment with automatic snapping, ensuring seamless organization. Players can also adorn larger objects like shelves or tables with smaller accessories, which remain securely attached even when the main piece is moved.
The housing system offers two distinct modes to cater to different player preferences. The Basic Mode is designed for straightforward organization, making it easy for everyone to set up their homes. On the other hand, the Advanced Mode is tailored for creative builders, allowing them to rotate objects on all three axes and stack them in innovative ways. This flexibility enables the creation of intricate and visually stunning interiors.

Another standout feature is the ability to scale objects, which accommodates the varying sizes of different character races. For example, gnomes can create more intimate and cozy spaces, while larger races like tauren can design more expansive and grand layouts. Additionally, some furniture pieces specifically designed for this housing system will support recoloring, although legacy assets may not have this option.
With *Midnight* still several months away, Blizzard continues to release teasers of upcoming content, keeping the player base engaged and eagerly anticipating the future updates to the game.
