The long-awaited addition of Housing in World of Warcraft<\/em><\/a> is going to cost you. On top of your monthly subscription and the cost of the Midnight<\/em> expansion itself, some Housing items will require a new in-game currency called \u201cHearthsteel\u201d that players will have to pay for with real money. World of Warcraft<\/em> already has hundreds of currencies<\/a>, and at one point, the game\u2019s main currency, gold, was worth more than the Venezuelan bolivar<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blizzard said in its announcement blog post<\/a> for Hearthsteel that it will only be for Housing, not the Trading Post, mounts, or other in-game items. Blizzard also clarified that not all of the Housing items will require Hearthsteel:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe vast majority of Housing items are (and will continue to be) earnable in-game. Only a small fraction is available for purchase from the shop. Comparing this number against collectibles such as mounts is a good metric here, with more than a thousand mounts earnable in-game and only a few dozen from the shop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
