Mailbox decor in World of Warcraft’s Housing system will work once Midnight arrives, which could be a sign of some amazing improvements on the way.
World of Warcraft is making mailbox decor actually work in Midnight, marking the first Housing item that actually has a significant in-game function. With this change, World of Warcraft is paving the way for other similar service decor, meaning players might one day be able to place repair vendors, crafting stations, and more in their homes.
Housing finally became a reality in World of Warcraft in Patch 11.2.7, with the feature now available in early access. Fans can collect thousands of decor items scattered in every corner of the game, from beds and trophies to anvils and mailboxes. However, though some of these decor items can be interacted with, such as bookshelves that slide away to reveal hidden compartments or chairs that can be sat on, none of these decor items have any direct in-game utility, save for pots that enable players to craft food and drink with the Cooking profession.
World of Warcraft Housing Mailboxes Will Work in Midnight
That is changing in Midnight. While exploring a recent build of the World of Warcraft: Midnight beta, WoW content creator Persephonae discovered that mailbox decor items were no longer just for show and actually functioned as their real counterparts. The official World of Warcraft Twitter confirmed this was an intentional change coming in Midnight, meaning any mailbox decor that exists in the game now, or any that are added later, will soon let characters send and receive messages the same as ones found in a town or city.
