In World of Warcraft, the next add-on, Warlords of Draenor, finally brings a housing feature to players who have been requesting it for a long time.
However, Blizzard doesn’t do things halfway here and gifts players a whole garrison that is meant to grow over time. While in Mists of Pandaria players became small farmers on a farm reminiscent of Harvest Moon thanks to phasing, in Warlords of Draenor, you’ll be the lord of the castle right away. A steep career.

Now, the design chief Craig Robinson at Blizzard introduced the Alliance players’ garrison and gave some designers and graphics artists the opportunity to talk about the creation process of the garrison. A highlight was, of course, numerous screenshots intended to fuel the imagination and anticipation of WoW fans.
The graphic artists emphasize the importance of capturing the soul of Alliance buildings to maintain a sort of classic Warcraft architecture. They want to give players a piece of Stormwind to take to Draenor. However, they aim to move with the times and create a world where players can find something surprising and fascinating in every corner.
Even within their own four walls, players should be able to experience an epic adventure. The garrison is meant to be the starting point for every player to conquer the new and threatening world of Draenor. The designers place particular value on ensuring that the individual buildings grow and become more impressive over time to reflect the progress of the players in Draenor.
