Until then, we do know that WoW Midnight will feature player housing. This new system will include two zones at launch. The first will be Horde-themed and inspired by Durotar, its coastline, and Azshara. For the Alliance, it will draw inspiration from Elwynn Forest, Westfall, and Duskwood. Cross-faction visiting will also be possible alongside 50 plots per neighborhood, plus various ways to obtain decorations.
