danielclaw13: It be nice if our pets could walk around our homes.

SpookyStu: Your home will have a Crendoor.

robeardear: Neighborhoods is a good idea. The public one especially. Anything that forces interactions between real players, the staple of an MMO, is good.

GrokNZ: getting the basics of the system working before branching out and complicating it and underdelivering on previous promises is a better way of handling it.

JohnRhinoTheThird: They should add a super rare npc mail carrier (rarer than the mad merchant) who, if you’re home at the time and happen to see it passing by, can interact with it and be rewarded with an appropriate cosmetic or mount.

ladyofthedrgns: I liked how LotRs Online did their player housing system. Yes you had to purchase the lot, but if you want a town you came across with a Playerhousing Instance Portal you could choose, to live there or move your property to that lot. My only negative was the hundreds of abandoned lots I came across. Other than that, let's see how this is handled.

TyrannosavageRekt: My only negative so far is that the neighbourhood environments seem to be "Generic Alliance Human" and "Generic Horde Orc", which leaves something to be desired as someone that primarily plays Night Elf characters. I'm hoping that's a temporary thing that will be expanded upon, but it was also one of the big things that people said they wanted to avoid after Garrisons falling into that same homogenous category. There's a fair argument that it made contextual sense for those in Warlords of Draenor, and if the homes we can build can still have variety between racial architecture (which the pillars seem to imply) while not in their environment, then that isn't so

Dandelion_Stitches: No Man's Sky - no cash shop, no battle pass, no pay DLC, just 8 years of free updates and community.

AshleyVsTheWorld: If they can do private instances for you and your friends this will be great. As much as I love FFXIV's housing system having to fight players over limited plots really does suck.

zeldera: I'm wary of this. It will make whatever the current expansion mainhub be a ghost town if they put an AH, bank, profession areas, etc in a neighbourhood

QuickSilverTAA: Private neighborhoods? Finally, HOAs in WoW.

But seriously, hopefully it gets good implementation and long term support.

priestessholleywood: Real-estating Azeroth. I'm gonna stay optimistic.

It would be nice to have some of the past expansion features combined into it like gardening and farming from Garrison and Pandaria.

HPNomad: Looks like they took the LOTRO approach to player housing with instanced neighborhoods snd and that’s okay with me.

gregorydillon9167: Blood Elves are the most popular Horde race, it's getting a revamp, and we get orc huts again. Disappointing

The Alliance neighborhoods are going to turn into Moon Guard Goldshire within 30 seconds of going live.

colnagocowboy: Garrisons were overreaching lust want a nice place to sit back a drink tea

Overload110: Wonder what they'll do for ghost towns where you're the last one in the neighborhood.

nogitsune4452: Goldshire Inn goina lose their entire clientele.

Alveish: As someone who has played FFXIV nearly daily for more than 13 years (I've also played WoW for many years), I'm excited for anything other games take away from it and improve upon as it might get Yoshida and the XIV devs to finally think "wait... are we really falling this far behind?" and perhaps improve the game. If this is pretty decent it might also make me start playing WoW again.

myrb2622: I like how they're handling it. The weird actual housing market simulation and thus competitive housing market in FF14 is really annoying and bad. I really hope they do let private basically let you "invite" friends and people to be in your neighborhood.

arlas2000: I haven't played wow in a while, but I'll come back just for the player housing.

scynt: "a first look" i expected video footage

RoloFilms: Saying one of the most popularly requested features is stolen from another game is crazy. This feature has been requested from the community since vanilla. The idea of player housing came from the community, not any game developer.

jerseymatt848: Not happy that my undead has to settle for an orc asthetic. Hopefully they roll out more variety fast.

mlwgurl: I really hope professions play a factor in this. How cool would it be for Jewelcrafters to be making fancy lamps? Or tailors making all sorts of curtains and rugs.

lainsechoes: the instanced plot system is the exact same system that FFXIV does.

EviLReN3: Can’t wait for Onyxia to drop my [Table Lamp]

meteorwalkergg: They should've made this patch 1 of a Classic version of the game. Retail is too new player unfriendly & systems like everything syncing to my level pushes me away. Neat y'all are getting this & the shots fired at FF are cute, but I can't really get excited for a game design philosophy about rushing to endgame & skipping two decades of story.
