If they want to keep the factions up, they have to make some Alliance factions going rogue with a justified cause. Cause at this point, the horde is all under a single banner, the banner of being pacification. And peace wont drive the WoW story engine.
Someone somewhere has to do something bad, and at this point, the undead which were the only shady ones are being bent over to the Green Jesus and the Boy King’s BFF status.
Unless you are talking about Durotar, canonically night elves got darkshore and ashenvale back. Azshara was given to the horde in a trade. Gilneas is also in control of the worgen.
And I whole heatedly hope you guys get everything back, even Trisifal glades and Lordaeron.
I want the Alliance to stomp the Horde so bad on all fronts shrinking their lands. This would achieve 3 things.
Give the Alliance a story, and something to celebrate for (other than seeing their king in a cinematic, although he was covered behind sadfang 60% of the time).
Give the Alliance some colors, not all Alliance races have be Anduin’s dogs on a leash.
Give the Horde a better understanding that if they don’t act, they will be eliminated. The war should wage on for both sides survival.
Honestly, I think the Horde is going to be ordered out as part of the cease fire. Otherwise Anduin will have a major problem because there is no way Tyrande will stop the conflict otherwise.
The Worgen could easily move back home. I played in that area a month ago and the city if fine. There is very little blighted areas still and Jaina can clean up those pretty quick.
i think the night elves should take over dire maul and restore it to the city it was meant to be. Greymane should go with them and establish a new night elf and worgen stronghold in feralas. Call it Gilnassus. the ability to control their curse and keep them from being mindless wolves is druidic in nature, it really ties in with the whole elune/moon/druids kinda thing.
The Trisfal is a noman’s land. No one has it. Sorry, I digress. I see your point. If the Trisfal is retaken by the Forsaken. I have no issue with the Alliance having Darkshore. Check and balances that sorta thing. The Worgen capital where it currently is. Is out of the question. If it was moved to another location further south I see no issue with it.
There is no way in hell Genn would every allow the Horde to tell him that he can not move his people back to their native lands. And right now Genn and Tyrande aren’t looking like they bought a ticket on the “peace” train.
this is my primary motivation for wanting the horde to lose more. when i play my horde characters the alliance doesn’t even register as a blip on the radar. alliance doesn’t feel like a threat, they’re not portrayed as one either. feels soulless. whereas when i play alliance i feel like i’m fighting for the continued existence of all alliance peoples.
that being said, it’s never gonna happen. war’s over, pack it up. wow’s population is going down the drain, we need cross-faction grouping to make sure the game stays alive for a few more years.
