World of Warcraft - Player Housing - Neighbourhoods are Coming!

Neighbourhoods are coming to World of Warcraft and it sounds like a lot of fun!
There is a very long and detailed article on the Blizzard site about player housing and neighbourhoods, but I have summarised it below.

According to Blizzard, homes in World of Warcraft are separated into two neighborhood zones, Founder’s Point (for the Alliance) and Razorwind Shores (for the Horde).

 Each Neighborhood is made up of roughly 50 plots of the same size, all of which contain a house.

• They can be named by their owners and the names do not have to be unique (though they do have delimiters to differentiate them from one another).

• Players control who can live in them. For guilds, this is via the Guild roster. If a guild removes someone, the player will also be removed from the Neighborhood.

Some plots are placed far away from everything for the hermits among us, while others are grouped together in small cul-de-sacs of two to three houses perfect for a small group of friends. Other houses are in larger groupings for folks looking for more hustle and bustle.

Similarly, there’s a variety of biomes in each zone, ranging from Founder’s Point’s spooky forests and autumnal farmland to the lush oases and windswept bluffs in Razorwind Shores.

It’s not just a question of where you choose to live, but who you choose to live near, that’s important. And don’t worry, there aren’t actually any HOAs in WOW, unless players choose to implement them.

Your neighbourhood can be customised, so you can work with other players to progress it together. I am really looking forward to this part of the expansion! Working with friends towards a collective goal is always a rewarding bonding experience!

There are two types of Neighborhoods:

Public Neighborhoods – These are created as needed by the game servers and anyone can buy a house in them. As they fill up, new instances are created, so players looking for a house shouldn’t see a message about all the neighborhoods being full. Public Neighborhoods are run by the game as well.

Private Neighborhoods – These are created and owned by players, either by Guilds as Guild Neighborhoods, or by arbitrary groups of players as Charter Neighborhoods.

I will be making a Swiftie Neighbourhood (In our WOW era!) so if that sounds like somewhere you'd like to live, please let me know.
