Instead of fixing WoW’s new floating house exploit, Blizzard makes it official
“We all kinda immediately agreed this was way too cool to change.”
TL;DR
- A glitch allowing *World of Warcraft* houses to float was discovered shortly after the new housing feature launched.
- Blizzard has decided to make floating houses an official, integrated part of the game based on player response.
- Principal Designer Jesse Kurlancheek and Lead Producer Kyle Hartline confirmed the decision, citing player creativity.
- Community Manager Randy "Kaivax" Jordan announced the UI change, noting that house undersides are not fully modeled or textured.
- Suggestions were provided for hiding untextured undersides and dealing with camera positioning issues for high-floating houses.
