Blizzard has recently unveiled exciting details about the upcoming in-game housing system in *World of Warcraft: Midnight*. While the expansion is slated for release post-*The War Within* as part of the Worldsoul saga, the early previews have sparked significant anticipation among players due to the extensive customization options on offer.
A developer blog showcased in-game videos that provided a glimpse into the furniture placement mechanics. The system utilizes a grid layout with an automatic snapping feature, making it easy for players to arrange their space. Moreover, the ability to decorate larger items, such as shelves and tables, with smaller accessories that remain attached even when moved, adds a layer of realism and convenience to the decorating process.
The housing system offers two distinct modes: Basic Mode, which simplifies the organization process, and Advanced Mode, tailored for creative builders. In Advanced Mode, players have the freedom to rotate objects across all three axes and stack them in innovative ways, allowing for the creation of intricate and visually appealing interiors.

Another standout feature is the option to scale furniture, which caters to the varying sizes of different character races. This means gnomes can create snug and cozy spaces, while tauren might prefer more expansive designs. Additionally, some new furniture items designed specifically for the housing system will support recoloring, although this feature may not be available for legacy assets.
With *Midnight* still on the horizon, Blizzard is keeping the community engaged by regularly releasing teasers of the upcoming content, ensuring that excitement for future updates remains high.
