Feedback: Housing

#1 - Sept. 30, 2025, 9:59 p.m.

Welcome (home) to Beta!

We’re incredibly excited for you to get your hands on Housing. Please send in your feedback and file those bug reports since they’re critical for us to make this feature the best it can be.

Buying Your First House

When you login, you’ll be given a quest “A House for You” which will lead you to your faction’s Neighborhood, introduce the Steward, and take you on a tour of the Neighborhood, and ultimately direct you to buy your house.

Please note, the house cost is not final and assuming you used a template character, you’ll have plenty of gold to afford it.

Once you have a house, start building! You’ll be able to find a variety of decorations on vendors, professions, and throughout the world and use them to make your house a home. Lay out your rooms and expand into a spooky basement or lofty attic. Explore the Neighborhood and see what’s hidden around the corner or say hi to your neighbors.

Taking on Endeavors

Endeavors are a Neighborhood-wide activity open to anyone who lives in the Neighborhood. Endeavors occur approximately once a month and when a new Endeavor becomes available the Neighborhood is provided with the opportunity to learn from various cultures and factions of Azeroth by completing different tasks.

• How to pick an endeavor
  • Public neighborhoods will have an endeavor assigned to them.
  • Private neighborhoods will have a neighborhood manager choose the endeavor for the neighborhood. Talk to your neighborhood steward to start one.
• Rewards
  • Complete tasks to collect community coupons which can be spent at the endeavor trader to purchase themed decor.
  • Complete endeavor milestones by completing tasks to unlock new decor on the endeavor trader
  • Note: You can spend your community coupons at any endeavor trader, at anytime. Community coupons carry over between endeavors and can be taken to any trader in any neighborhood.
    • Assuming the neighborhood you are visiting has reached the requisite milestones, you can purchase the unlocked decor.
  • Completing an endeavor will grant a bonus reward to your account of some extra house XP and coupons.
    • Developers’ notes: This is not yet implemented.
• Tasks
  • Endeavor tasks will both take you back to a zone (or zones) in Azeroth and beyond, and take place in your neighborhood.
  • Similar to the trading post, there will be some generic tasks for all endeavors, and many themed ones.
    • The themed ones will always be the more efficient tasks.
  • Tasks will reward Community Coupons, Gold, XP, Crests (at max level), and House XP, along with providing progress towards the endeavor.
  • Completing a task while in a neighborhood group will grant you extra progress towards the endeavor, unlocking milestones faster.
  • Many tasks can be repeated for fewer rewards, this is noted by a circular icon on the task.

New This Week

• Additional decor is available from neighborhood vendors, and more new decor (neighborhood and otherwise) will be added throughout the Beta.

Please leave your Housing feedback and issues you encounter in this thread and any suggestions and ideas you may have in a separate forum post. Thank you and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on Housing!

#6 - Oct. 8, 2025, 9:40 p.m.

Housing has been temporarily disabled while we address an issue. We’ll update this thread and the update notes when it has been re-enabled.

#7 - Oct. 9, 2025, 7:06 p.m.

Housing has been re-enabled. Here are the updates in Midnight Alpha Week 2:

What’s New in Alpha Week 2

• Outside decoration should now be enabled, allowing you to decorate the outside of your house. Build the flamingo lagoon of your dreams! This also means you can move and rotate your house around your plot as well.
• Similarly, you should also be able to customize the exterior of your house with various chimneys, roof options, dormers, and other architectural delights.
• A variety of decor is now available at the Neighborhood vendors. Shop away!

Fixed Issues

• The UI to select the destination house when visiting is no longer slow to load.
• A whole lot of other less visible fixes have been made!

Known Issues

• If you’re customizing your exterior and then you swap to any of the decor editing modes (Basic, Advanced, Customize, or Cleanup) the decor editing in that mode might not work.
  • Workarounds:
    • Avoid swapping straight between exterior customization to any of the other modes by exiting the House Editor completely.
    • If you do end up in this stuck state in a Decor mode, exit the House Editor completely, and re-enter it.
• While editing the decor outside, if you try to move decor too far outside the plot boundaries, player movement might stop working or your client might crash.
  • Workarounds:
    • Don’t move stuff outside the edges of your plot.
    • If your movement gets stuck, log out and back in.
• The red outline and gridlines that signify an “Invalid location” sometimes won’t show when moving decor or the House Exterior to an invalid location.
• The House Exterior may float off the ground slightly while dragging it. This is purely visual.
• Exterior doors are sometimes hard to click.
• Moving your house will reset your exterior fixtures so those will have to be set again if you move.
