How many realms does the Horde actually outnumber the Alliance?

Almost all of the more populated realms the Alliance has a 65/35 or more ratio against Horde.

Me? I've always played Horde.

I say first chose what class you want, then see which faction/race complements it the most.

In my case I wanted to make a mage/engineer charactor. I went through the races saw gnomes had engineering bonus and intellect bonus...so Alliance/Gnome was the perfect fit for what I wanted to do.

I picked Alliance because my friends were Alliance. Then I found a good guild and stayed. I have nothing against the Horde - in fact, when I was reading the lore I was really impressed by Thrall. Now that guy is a leader! I have a Tauren shaman on another server for when Eitrigg is down. There are a large number of Horde alts on the same server made by my guildies. So it's less "Horde is evil/wins BG's" or ""Alliance is good/loses BG's" it's "Where are my friends?" Besides, I suck at PvP. Carebear, you betcha.

If your talking Pve do ally side its easy mode alot of ppl on that side easy to pick up a end game guild,horde side if you like Pvp cuz well its easy mode....they have toons that can't be stunned ever try to stun a orc shammy running the flag? its just so fun..... they have rogues/warlocks that can't be feared nothing more fun then having a class that can fear you at will but not be feared....man why do they win Bg's? you would think the humans race move would stop that.....oh wait thats right its 10% to rep....um to rep? maybe you could talk them to death?


Pve easy easy mode ally side you can kick a healer and have two more in the guild before the days out,wtf where are all these ppl coming from? Horde side we have to listen to the same dam guy that we all hate and not kick his *** out of fear of not seeing another horde toon to join the guild in 4 months.....pallys we get them soon but they wont be 70 for awhile,easy easy mode they keep you from wipeing its like haveing a soulstone on crack that can heal tank and has plate armor....anyways thats how both sides look right now,all this is subject to change in what 6 days? well except ally sucking in Pvp don't make me use my plus 5 to swords you in trouble now...

Yes, all the "little kids" want to be the good guys. That lasts until they become teenagers typically, where they all want to be the rebel, the loner, the one person who fought against the stale old system. That's why lots of teenagers typically pick horde, not alliance.

You realize that you are describing my main there. I'm not going to start over and do 43 levels all over again though just to have her look different. :P

My other female Trolls do have a different face and different hair but I do wish there were more faces to choose from. They don't have to be traditionally 'pretty' but it would be nice to have a smiling Troll even if it was a wicked grin. :D




I got it on my first day playing in the starting area. Some guy Troll kept asking me to take off my chest armor and was following me around. I think that kind of thing happens more at the lower levels though.



I agree that there is immaturity on both sides and I have seen many "pro-horde" posts on this site that make me wince that I'm on the same side as them but then I see the same thing from many of the "pro-alliance" crowd so it balances out.

I like all the Horde main cities and can find my way quickly and easily around them. The only Alliance main city I like the layout of is Ironforge. Darnassus is pretty and organized but I just find it inconvenient for my normal bank/AH/profession visits. I don't like Stormwind at all.

I probably wouldn't play my Alliance characters much at all if it wasn't for the fact that my boyfriend's main is a 56 NE Hunter and he keeps pushing me to level up my NEs so they can run around with him. It is nice having someone who can run me through instances now and then but for the most part I just group with his lower level Alliance characters.


As far as the different races go, my favorite race is definitely Trolls followed by Night Elves. Dwarves and Orcs are okay and I can picture myself possibly playing them (and I do have one Dwarf already). I like the Undead but I really don't think I could stand having to look at their run animation for hours on end. The racial design of the Taurans is unique and suits them but it doesn't suit me. I can't see myself playing a Gnome and find them somewhat creepy for some reason. I really don't like the Humans in this game at all and find both the Human players and NPCs annoying for some odd reason and really don't like even being around them for any length of time. The more I see of the Draenei in the game, the more I like them and know that I will definitely be playing them as I really, really love their look. I am undecided on the Blood Elves because the NPCs I have seen look pretty but for some reason they also have a cruelty about them that disturbs me so I will have to wait and see if I can make one that I like.

Doesn't really matter, if you have RL friends playing as a certain faction join them. This game is a lot more fun when you can play with RL friends.

If not, just go with what you personally like better or what fits your personality. The only really advantage I can think of is right now, horde have instant BG queues where Alliance usually have to wait 15-30 mins.

But when the horde gets paladins and alliance gets shamans, there really won't be much of a difference.
