Blizzard has unveiled exciting details about the upcoming in-game housing system in *World of Warcraft: Midnight*. Although the expansion is slated for release following *The War Within* as part of the Worldsoul saga, early previews indicate a level of customization that exceeds many players' expectations.
A recent developer blog showcased in-game videos illustrating the furniture placement mechanics. The system employs a grid system with automatic snapping, enabling players to align items seamlessly. Additionally, larger objects such as shelves or tables can be adorned with smaller accessories that remain attached when moved, enhancing the flexibility of interior design.
The housing system offers two distinct modes: a Basic Mode for those who prefer straightforward organization, and an Advanced Mode catering to creative builders. In Advanced Mode, players can rotate objects along all three axes and stack them in innovative ways, allowing for the creation of intricate and visually stunning interiors.

A notable feature of the housing system is the ability to scale objects, which accommodates the varying sizes of different character races. For example, gnomes can create cozier, more intimate spaces, while larger races like tauren can design more expansive layouts. Moreover, certain furniture pieces designed specifically for this system will allow for recoloring, although legacy assets may not support this feature.
With *Midnight* still months away, Blizzard is keeping the community engaged and eager by continually teasing upcoming content, ensuring sustained excitement for the game’s future updates.
