Datamined Housing Reputations
As champions of Azeroth, we've met a wide variety of unique characters and groups throughout our adventures.
In a recent Midnight Alpha build, we've datamined various NPCs that could be part of a friendship/reputation system related to Player Housing, which includes iconic characters like Flynn Fairwind, Lillistrasza, Meerah, and more!
NEW Meerah
Far away from her home of Vol'dun, Meerah has decided to travel the world as a merchant alongside her best friends, the alpacas Dolly and Dot.
Flags: (No Flags)
NEW Lillistrasza
Lillistrasza lives at the Ruby Lifeshrine within the Dragon Isles, but is known for wandering off to visit interesting places every so often.
Flags: (No Flags)
NEW Flynn Fairwind
Flynn once made his living as a pirate captain off the coasts of Kul Tiras, though he has since promised to serve the Alliance (so long as he gets paid).
Flags: (No Flags)
NEW The Power of Friendship
This is the bucket for all neighborhood visitors who can become friends with the player.
Flags: (No Flags)
All of these strings give reason for why each character is travelling beyond their usual places they call home. While nothing is certain, it looks as though these NPCs might visit your neighborhood every once and a while. As Champions of Azeroth, it seems only fitting to have visitors every now and then, and Player Housing is a very unique opportunity to have that happen.
The Power of Friendship
A unique ID to bring attention to here is "The Power of Friendship", which details all of the "neighborhood visitors" who can become friends with the player. Based on this, we could possibly see different weekly quests or activities that allow you to build stronger relationships with them. This looks very similar to other reputation systems we've seen in the past, such as Shadowlands' Ember Court or MoP's Tillers.
Players could invite various Shadowlands NPCs to an Ember Court party and build stronger friendships with them.
Could it be possible that we could earn certain "housewarming gifts" once we reach certain friendship levels with these visitors? While much remains to be revealed, what we do know is players will have some exciting interactions to look forward to with Player Housing in Midnight.
