Will Your WoW Character Remain Homeless?

The world of Azeroth is huge and heavily populated – but where does everyone live? Unlike many MMOs, World of Warcraft does not have in-game housing for its players...and that probably isn't changing anytime soon.

In an interview with Eurogamer, WoW producer J Allen Brack seems skeptical that player housing will find its way into the game. Throwing in some instanced apartments wouldn't be too difficult for Blizzard; the bigger challenge is coming up with compelling content tied to the homes.  "I don't think it's sufficient enough for us in WOW to just say, 'Hey we have player housing - great,'" says Brack. "There's got to be some reason to have that, there's got to be gameplay behind that, stuff that happens."

The team is aware that some players want this feature, and it has been on the list of considered features for every expansion pack so far. It has also not been pursued after all this time, so the team clearly has higher priorities. That isn't to say that housing will never happen  but Brack doesn't seem particularly optimistic, saying "we'll see what happens for the next time."
