Housing in World of Warcraft

[Espon]

Meanwhile WoW is built on over a 20 years old engine without much limitations.

In all my years playing WoW, I never really saw anyone bringing up the engine unless it's the same talk as (We need WoW 2 to fix the game direction and start fresh again!)

I haven't played since MoP, but even back then there were discussions about WoW's dated engine. It was build upon a modified version of Warcraft 3's engine and there are many things that are extremely difficult, if not impossible to change since they're so hard-coded into the engine. The reason why there's never been a WoW2 is that WoW was never in such an abominable state that FF14's 1.0 was (although they did have another MMORPG in development for a while before canning it).

Some people seem to think that everything in FF14 is the way it is due to engine limitations, when actually some of it has to do with whether or not the developers want to add or change something, especially if they do not think it would help them financially.

It's not just housing that's coming to WoW. Blizzard is also launching a completely new game and judging by the trailer, it's actually pretty good. The new game is called Avowed. And my first thought was, I'm totally in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this being developed by Obsidian?
