Top Housing Features for Launch in World of Warcraft Midnight

WoW Midnight Housing — What Launched

Player housing arrived with World of Warcraft: Midnight on March 2, 2026, giving every player their own plot in one of two dedicated neighborhood zones: Founder's Point for Alliance characters and Razorwind Shores for Horde. The system launched with full Warband integration — your home and its decor collection are shared account-wide, meaning every character benefits from a single decorated plot.

The placement system launched with two modes: Basic (snap-to-grid) and Advanced (free placement with axis movement and resize tools). Four exterior kits shipped at launch — Blood Elf, Night Elf, Orc, and Human — and none of them are faction-locked, so any player can use any exterior style regardless of character faction. Cross-faction visitation works with minimal restrictions, letting Alliance and Horde players tour each other's homes freely. The decor economy runs on:

• Monthly Endeavors — neighborhood-wide cooperative activities that reward themed decor sets.
• Auction House trading — decor items can be bought and sold between players.
• No housing lottery, no plot upkeep costs.

For players building their collection from the start, explore the WoW housing decor catalog to see what items are available and the fastest acquisition routes.

Confirmed Features in Patch 12.0.5

Patch 12.0.5 expanded housing with several of the most-requested post-launch features:

• Housing Layouts — save, import, and export full housing setups or individual room configurations. Players can now maintain separate seasonal or event-themed layouts without rebuilding from scratch.
• Pet Placement — battle pets and companions wander indoors. Outdoor pathing is confirmed as a later addition.
• Housing Showcases and Visitor Codes — share a code so friends or strangers can visit your home directly without knowing your neighborhood location.
• Approximately 50% increase in decor storage capacity — collectors who hit the launch cap quickly will find meaningful breathing room here.

Several more capabilities are already confirmed in development, even if they missed the March release window.

On the Housing Roadmap

Blizzard has confirmed the following features are in development with no committed release dates:

• Weapon, Mount, and Armor Showcases — displaying gear and mounts as wall or floor decorations is confirmed as a roadmap item. It was not ready for the March launch.
• Mass-Select and Group Rotation Tools — adjusting or rotating multiple objects simultaneously is planned. The current system handles individual item placement but requires manual adjustment for each piece.
• Co-Ownership of Homes — Blizzard has confirmed the ability to jointly own a house with another player is on the roadmap. This differs from visitation access (which is live) and from real-time collaborative editing, which has not been announced.
• Guild Halls and Basements — long-term roadmap items with no timeline.

With these features confirmed and a longer roadmap in place, here is a quick reference for where each capability stands today.
