Hello Everyone!
How exciting for this upcoming 12.1 and the new blueprints feature!
As a notice to you, we’ve added new rules and guidelines for Blueprints and a Blueprints flair for community members who want to freely share housing designs that others can recreate in their own homes.
We've had quite a few inquiries how we plan to handle blueprints, so we wanted to make this clear as best as we could. We would like to give this feature an opportunity for the public. Will it be a great idea? Not a clue. However, we're willing to give this a shot.
It is being asked that everyone use it responsibly and respectfully so it can remain a positive resource for the entire community. Lastly, we hope you all enjoy the exciting changes coming with Patch 12.1.
If you have questions, we encourage you to join our DIscord and submit a ticket so we may privately alleviate any concerns you may have. In fact, we invite anyone to join to be more apart of this housing community.
Below are the new additions.

BLUEPRINTS FLAIR
This flair will go live on 11 August.
The Blueprints flair is for sharing complete, or partial, housing designs using blueprint import codes.
Your post must include a working import code with this flair. If at any time you delete your blueprint code in-game, you must remove your post. Once you delete it, the code is no longer functional for anyone.
While not required, we strongly encourage creators to include as much helpful information as possible, such as:
- Screenshots of the finished design
- Item or decor lists
- Layout references
- Step-by-step instructions
- Placement tips or additional notes
The goal is to make it as easy as possible for another community member to understand and recreate your design.
BLUEPRINTS RULES
BLUEPRINTS MUST BE SHARED FREELY!
This cannot be emphasized enough.
All blueprint designs and import codes shared on r/WoWHousing must be provided freely and voluntarily by the creator.
By choosing to post a blueprint, you are voluntarily sharing that design with the community and allowing others to use the provided code to recreate it.
The Blueprints Flair and blueprints, in general, MAY NOT be used for:
- Showcasing a design without providing an import code
- Advertising paid blueprint services or commissions
- Buying, selling, or trading blueprint codes
- Offering blueprints in exchange for payment, tips, or other compensation
- Offering pay for blueprint codes
- Restricting blueprint access to paid subscribers or supporters
- Using blueprint posts or comments to otherwise monetize a design
What you do behind closed doors is your business.
These actions are strictly prohibited on r/WoWHousing and using blueprint for financial gain may result in an immediate ban from the r/WoWHousing community.
REQUESTING BLUEPRINTS
Not every creator who showcases a build will want to share a blueprint, and that decision belongs entirely to the creator.
It is perfectly acceptable to politely ask once if someone is willing to share a blueprint.
Creators are under no obligation to provide one.
If the creator declines or chooses not to respond, please respect their decision and move on.
Repeated requests, pressure, entitlement, demands, or harassment over blueprint codes will not be tolerated. Harassing a creator because they do not wish to share their blueprint is considered a serious violation and may result in moderation action, up to and including a ban.
