World of Warcraft gamers have long longed for the chance to own and decorate homes in Blizzard's MMORPG however, WoTLK Gold will not be included in the game's newly announced Dragonflight expansion. In interviews with various people game director Ion Hazzikostas has explained why.
The shorter version is that player housing would be a major undertaking, and even though there is broad support for it , both within the players and the development team as well, it's an enormous undertaking while being able to be integrated thematically with the main theme of the expansion.
"Putting together any of the bundles of features of an expansion, it's a mix of what thematically best fits the expansion, and what will appeal to different kinds of players, but also what's required to deliver that feature at the standard that players demand they deserve and what will we sacrifice in order to ensure that it can happen... and housing for players is a major feature," Hazzikostas said in an interview with WoW content creator Hazelnutty. "It's one of those tasks that must be done right... this is huge, it's an enormous task, and I'd say that if we were to do it, it would probably have be spread across multiple expansions. It's one of the features that's sufficiently large from the standpoint of."
However, while housing for players isn't coming as part of Dragonflight, Hazzikostas said "the dream is still alive" and that it's something the team wants to see happen in the future. This is a sentiment that was shared by Hazzikostas in multiple interviews, and in conversations together with the other players on The WoW team. Blizzard is aware that it's at the top in the list for requested features, and they're eager to bring it in, but it's more about allocating appropriate resources and determining the perfect time to release it.
Housing for players, naturally, comes with it's own set of challenges. World of Warcraft is currently experiencing a digital housing crisis, and is now using a brand new lottery system that will give virtual land to players who are lucky.
What's new in Dragonflight will be a brand new playable race, the Dracthyr and a brand new class that is exclusive to the Dracthyr, called the Evoker. The expansion will also introduce a Dragonriding mechanic that should enable players to explore the new Dragon Isles region more engaging in addition to substantial reworks of the game's talent method and professional classes. WoW: Dragonflight does not have a release date, with Blizzard opting for an "when it's done" way to expand the game.
After months of rumours , anticipation, with leaks Blizzard officially announced World of Warcraft the ninth expansion called Dragonflight buy WOW WoTLK Classic Gold. Expectations were high, and while there are no doubt some fans unhappy with the announcement, most are more than pleased.
