Left Alliance for Horde

Original Post

To those of you who know me on here or have participated in my “Blizzstore Free mount Giveaway Raffles”, you know I have always been the “Alliance for Life” type of player. Over the past year most of my friends that I have played with for over 10 years have gone Horde. Well to put a final nail in the coffin my husband bought the 8 faction changes+ Server xfer packages during the last sale and went Horde.

Has also bought the same thing for me. So the 8 icons are sitting there waiting for me to use them. Originally I told him he is on his own; however after some serious reflecting and long talks with him I have decided to join him on the Horde and Faction change to an Undead. Not quite sure WHEN exactly ill do the swap but I am swapping soon™. I will be joining him and others as Tichondrius or Area52 Horde.

As I said my Lock will go Undead hands down. I think I will be taking my DK female Orc, Druid to HMT, Monk to Vulpera, Pally to Blood Elf and Mage to Nightborne. Id love to hear some Opinions on this. Did I pick good races? Im not doing the swap till I make final decisions on my class/race combos.

Haven’t been Horde in years

I said this before. I’m not a fan of the horde races. They look like they were taken pretty much right out of the county fair stockyard. Goodluck in your future though and I hope it works out.

Trolls are my favourite Horde Druid. My sister always chooses Tauren. :slight_smile:

Anything Tauren is the right choice!

But seriously I wish they would go ahead and pull the trigger on the faction barrier so people wouldnt have to feel like they need to make these hard decisions. I want SOME of my characters to be worgen and not feel like Im all alone on the alliance

You and me both however I think it’s going to be quite a long time before we see the barrier actually drop such as cross faction guilds and being able to Q for random BGs and World quest with the opposite faction.

Maybe next expansion after dragonflight

And see I’d just make an alt on Horde. If you have that kind of time and availability.

I play both unless you are just that attached to the toons

It’s too late for that my friend like I said the 8 faction change icons and server transfer icons are already sitting there.

They’ve already been bought. I am very attached to my characters though I have a lot of old school PVP titles that are character specific

It’s sad to see another alliance player go horde but I understand the pressures and wish you the best.

Cross faction instances is a good start but without cross faction guilds or the ability to do queued and open world content there is still a massive gap that painfully separates friends and family. The current implementation actively hurts raiders that want to be cross faction and blizz knows it.

That all said it’s not just cross faction that needs to happen, unfortunately the damage of shadowlands means that yet another round of connections is needed because of just how unsustainable server populations have dropped. Economy is not faction specific and it’s particularly painful on smaller servers, without a region wide economy or a way to server hop to take advantage of higher pop servers and their economy without paying money to blizz is just painful.

Realistically, if you wanted to you could recreate that character as a Blood Elf. You could have just about the exact same look.

On top of that, Forsaken have pretty terrible racials for a Warlock, especially if you don’t PvP.

Good luck with that…Shudders

You’re obviously a fan of blood elves!

better than Area52 or the toxic pool known as Illidan (shudders)

I wouldn’t go to Tich if I didnt enjoy pvp. As for racials I have never really cared. I pick what I like. I like the look and lore elements of Undead for the warlock class fantacy. To be honest before Void Elves the Alliance didnt have a Race I was happy as lock on. No dark lore races on ally :woman_shrugging:

Sadly FULL cross faction will probably be after Dragonflight if ever

Aww what’s wrong with Area 52? I thought it was a great server. As big as Tich and Illidan but not as toxic.

Have fun! You might not have wanted to go Horde, but hopefully you’ll still have fun.
