Faction Lock - Vanilla Style

After reading several post on what people will choose to leveling, I see a good amount of people choosing - Horde & Alliance - classes. Back in vanilla you had to create two accounts on same server to have this happen. Not sure about PVE or RP servers but in PVP servers you did.

I would rather have the Faction Lock vs the capability to do both in 1 server like how we have now. What are your guys thoughts on this?

It was only locked on PVP servers back in the day and it should be that way this time around for Classic also.

The faction restrictions were in place to prevent harassing whispers against gankers, strengthen faction pride (identity), and limit cross faction collusion.

Absolutely - pvp servers should be faction locked. These types of things were the flavor of vanilla, and a staple.

I’m confused. Why is this even being questioned?

This is akin to asking if we’d be upset if alliance could have shamans.

reason being due to current status of retail. I can’t find anything stating this type of info with the roll outs of phases and stuff… but there’s a big chunk of pvp details left out.

I think it was a good idea that forgot that the internet existed. The entire point of what they were going for was easily defeated by an unofficial server forum, or any VOIP program.

Really, it’s a completely unnecessary restriction that should never have existed and should just stay out of classic.

My thoughts on you.

I will be looking in this thread for people who where crying about devilsaur mafia who are also supporting the idea of having the ability to make a alliance and a horde toon on the same pvp server. I will be ridiculing your intelligence until i get another suspension. This will be worth it.

Also can’t wait for them to blame discord on this as if that’s the underlying issue with how this happened lol.

Sure the rest of the internet does make it easy to talk and work with the opposite faction but still requires effort. Atleast blizzard can keep the one restriction to atleast tell the players playing that the 2 factions are at war on this sever please choose your side and fight! Its a good midset to have on a pvp sever.
