Player Housing

With the announcement of World of Warcraft patch 12.1.

While sports fans of Earth are cheering on their home nations in the ongoing World Cup (go sportsball!), players of World of Warcraft have a chance to practice some footie and earn some unique cosmetic rewards.

World of Warcraft patch 12.0.5 brought a number of undocumented changes -- some intentional, some not.

Patch 12.0.5 launched Tuesday in World of Warcraft, and while there were a lot of features players were excitedly looking forward to -- Decor Duels, Abyss Anglers, or even helping Decimus help us by finishing the Voidforge -- the patch also launched with one major thing players were not expecting or looking forward to: critical bugs that caused the Player Housing system to be disabled, at least in the US and Oceania.

If you suffered from a bit of sticker shock the first time you opened up a Player Housing decor catalog in Midnight, then good news -- the price of many decorations that cost Voidlight Marl has been reduced by a significant amount.

Blizzard's 2026 roadmap for World of Warcraft didn't include anything about our new favorite feature, Player Housing (aka house transmog), but Blizzard still has lots of plans for in-game housing.

The WoW Secret Finders Discord has come through again, this time for WoW player housing aficionados, having discovered a lovely vase of roses hidden away behind a fake advertisement.

This week saw the release of Blizzard's first significant decor pack for WoW Player Housing on the Blizzard online store.

It looks like we'll be able to complete a simple, repeatable neighborly quest in Midnight to earn some powerful rewards each week.

Blizzard has come out of the gate strong with the first two Player Housing decor items available for purchase with real money from the in-game shop: an adorable plush lion and wolf.
