Project Lore

i wanted to roll my main a BE because i loved the look and lore. but i did not have BC. so i rolled human because they were my next choice. well after a couple of bgs.... i got sick and tired of getting ganked by the horde and ally forces not working together! so i went and bought, BC became a BE rouge and am now all. FOR THE HORDE! :)

I play Horde because when I first looked at the races, I thought to myself.

"Man if this were a real battle, these bigs guys on the Hordes team would tear apart those tiny people over there." And thats when the decision was made, been playing Horde ever since.

My friend made an Alliance character on another server and asked me where to go and I just stared at him clueless, seeing as how I have never leveled anywhere as an Alliance toon :P

Really I play both. But I agree with alot of the others here the Alliance has more younger people. I feel the Horde are more mature as well as more mentally stable than the Alliance. More than once my server(exodar) has this lvl 49 Night Elf druid twink(Don't ask) who constantly throws the trade chat into chaos by bringing up the presidental election, racism, religion, stuff that should be left OUT of WoW. People come in to get away from those things. I'm not saying that people on the horde are ALL mature *Cough Chuck Norris Barrens Chat Cough* but it seems most of the time I get better groups. I do hate the Undead though really creepy, always staring at me. Uhghh.

Thats all hope I made my opinion clear. ^_^

To tell you the truth, i started out as Alliance. Reason being is when i first started the game, my brother had already been playing and I thought that maybe i could get a little advice from him at first. So I played, and i eventually got a hunter up to 54. Then i completely stopped. I started to realise that alliance are just a bunch of either RL 12 year olds or REALLY immature adults. Either way it was ridiculously gay. My dad then got a job in the middle - east, in a country called Qatar. From there on i went to an international AMERICAN school. (Kinda ironic eh?) Anyways, i met a few friends and found out that they played as well, on bloodscalp as HORDE. So i was like, "dude wtf why would you ever play horde? Horde = teh phail." /bitchslap was basically their response. So i started out on their server, made an orc and got him up to level 8. Fuck that! I proceeded to go back to my hunter, (this is all pre-bc btw. so marks was the shit back then.) I kept dying for some reason and stopped playing, decided that i'd come back when BC came out in the next month or so. And so i waited, and waited, and waited...being blizzard and all it got postponed back. When it came out though, i thought that blood elve's looked a HELL of alot cooler than Draenei's. So i rolled a belf paladin and leveled along side my brother, a belf priest. Unfortunately, his main called and i was left alone, all by myself in the scary ghostlands. O.O I eventually got addicted to her (Yes, i rolled the opposite sex...What?! They have cool dances!) she is now level 70 and i realise that alliance can EAT MY...whoa mom aggro.

For the Horde!

i just dont like gnomes.... and would not want them on my team

i play as horde because in all RPGS I have ever played i always like to play as the most chaotic evil race and class as I can just for the sake of being able to crush anyone who pisses me off and I find the races of the horde offer that rather than the alliance

Honestly i jus like to have the feeling of bein a big dude beating the hell out of a gnome and feeling like the big guy or pretend that the human guy is that guy that makes me amd and get my anger out on him lol...

I mainly play a gnomewarrior.
They're damn cool and its fun to just know that the other person is humiliated when you kick their ass in pvp.
Also they are small, and slowingeffects and roots/frost nova owns warriors, and ive got escape artist.

Horde main cities just aren't as organized and easy to navigate as the main alliance cities.

Stormwind>Org

But yeah horde is cool too, i have a neglected 70 tauren also.

I play a lvl 66 BE paladin beacuase of the Dance ofc but under the following months ive discovered after raching lvl 30 its much more fun, the start newbie qst are kinda boring so it is understandable that u don like hordes and u had probaly played alliance so long that horde didn't seem so interresting but it can also be that u are pwning hordes in Bg that u cant realise ur playing the horde beacuase they suck compared to alliance. So just coninue play alliance dontt try joining our force cuase your better in alliance so we can kick your butt :).
Also the main cities for horde look like shit

Love ur show will stay tuned (sorry for bad enlish)

I for one ALWAYS liked the alliance,from war 2 that i first played in '99 I was crazy about the whole faction,first i finished the game just for fun,then i finished it for the lore,and sucked myself into it.I tried the horde it was great as well,but I don't fancy a weak race that asks for demons help for they're own empowerment .No don't get me wrong the horde changed a lot,they're anti-demonology now(minor exception to the warlocks that can restrain themselves).

Now when WoW launched,here in Romania it's nearly impossible to get a credit card.I started on a private server,and it was a horrible experience ,bugs,quests didn't work, lore was nowhere,horrible and stressing.

Then i started playing wow on the Official servers do to the Pre-Paid card's which made my 'experience' easier :-) .
Okey so there was the QUESTION,what to choose,of course i chose alliance since my Friends were alliance,though...i needed to see how things worked out.Started on Hellfire (EU) ,was a SO-so experience,tried a horde char on as well.
Well,then it came:

1.I HATED the horde zones,I am not to fancy of jungles and deserts I hate them [oh the lore wasn't appealing at all since i was mostly custom and lover of the alliance,so that was a pretty good reason]

2.Playing as the alliance i took a 'researching' approach,and i saw how every horde reacted ,mostly reading on YouTube and forums it's like this :"LOL alliance gays FTH FTH fuck you alliance ,horde beats alliance ass" and i AM NOT AT ALL dramatizing ,everybody says that alliance are 12 year olds but come on,behaving like that is not even normal for a 12 year old,yes they're adults.That was the main point,talk about racism ,but having an idiot post "HORDE FTW (copy paste) insert*some kind of drawing i didn't decipher"
That's why I rolled alliance mostly.Oh and the 'racial' thing,that counts for me (as an alliance player) in a pvp like 2% it ain't that big of a whoop that everybody is talking,they aren't really making such a bad time for me.

Well farewell to all and don't be racists ,insert your post with wisdom not *ally gay* -ism.

I started on a horde side when WOW first released getting a troll shaman to 60 then stopped playing for a while. Once BC dropped i played ally to 70 and then went back to my troll.
I noticed that when i played ally the guild i ended up getting in was childish compared to my raiding guild on my horde.
So when i went back to my horde expecting to see all the same people its was the same thing once the BE came into play.
As far as one side being more childish then the other they both are about the same you just have to look for the more mature players that are on both sides.

horde is so much better i only like dranei on alliance

On my server, the horde controls the world. Another reason I play Horde is because I play Druid, Nelf Druids are waaaaay too tiny for me. Lastly therre are no GOOD free leveling guides for Alliance.

I play Horde because the only class i can play well is a Druid. The Alliance Nelf is too small for me, though i consider them because of their nicer forms. Also there are no good leveling guides for Alliance.

Even though I play Alliance now, I started on the Horde and I still think that Tauren are the best looking race in the game. Tauren > Draenai > Orc (Lore mostly) > Everything else as far as my race preferences go. So at least I got my 2nd favorite race to play with now, but I really don't like having to play as a Night Elf on my druid. I stay shifted about 99% of the time.

I choose to play horde because on offense to the allis, but you guys can get really annoying real fast. I was always bugged to duel and even when I said no they still asked. Heck by the time I was lvl 16 my ignore list was almost flooded. It just feels that cooler players play on the horde. Also a post said earlier that all the races were very unique I will go with that guy to, the alli races kinda feel all the same accept for Night Elves and Drani.

I don't remember why I made my first character horde (troll hunter), but I know why I stay. The stories are better, with the orc's escape from slavery and the forsaken's flirtation with evil. When you play Horde, you're playing someone who has had to fight for everything they got. (Blood elves don't really fit in, but I played Horde before the expansion.)

There's also practical considerations. Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Undercity, and when you need it, Grom'gol, provide a nice central base for questing, no matter what level you are. Only Badlands, Searing Gorge, and Burning Steppes have poor accessibility. On the Alliance side, Darnassus is an abomination and neither Ironforge nor Stormwind have direct access to Kalimdor.

Aesthetics play a role as well. The Horde is made up of monsters who just look good with the WoW proportions of broad shoulders and thick arms. Alliance, humans and night elves especially, look misshapen. Gnomes are a constant joke (and have LoS problems with railings). Night elves are a bunch of hippies. Dwarves are the only Alliance race that has any appeal to me.

These are all reasons for why I don't choose Alliance now. But the reason I stick with the Horde is that I am Horde. I've played Horde for long enough now that I take delight in hurting the Alliance any way I can. Whether it's on a battleground, world pvp, as part of a quest, whatever, I'll whatever I can. I'm not a RPer, but I'll always respond in kind when someone shouts, "For The Horde!"

i picked the Tauren cause it was the closes to me and my Personality and looked really cool. I know a Noob reason for picking it lol

I made an orc because the racials are excellent for enhancement shamans (though, healers don't appreciate how I pull aggro in instances when I've got Blood Fury reducing their heals by 50%). In addition, the Alliance just seems boring and way too religious. Not to mention that a large percentage (from experience) of the toons are played by immature 10 year olds who made an Alliance character because they're the "good guys."

Plus, the Horde seems somewhat "better" than the Alliance in terms of crimes...okay, the old Horde was just insane and did really wicked stuff, but the new Horde tried to make friends with the Alliance. How did the Alliance respond? They cut off the hand that was held out to them in a friendly gesture before the owner could speak.

"Wall of text crits you for...", "lollore", "WERE BETTR THN U", "NUB LMAO", etc etc

Feel free to correct me if some of my lore is off, there's too much to remember accurately. :)

What appeals to me about the Horde is how honorable they are. (The NPC's anyways..) Whenever they greet eachother it's always "Strength and honor", and that stuff. Also, their entire lives are dedicated to serving the warchief and the horde. When the orc mogrim in warcraft III failed to deliver a note to the warchief, he said "This would be a good death, if it hadn't been for my failure." And then he went on to say that his honor had been lost. So Rexxar took his note to the young Orgrimmar and its warchief and started on his voyages.

But the horde also has a feel that you don't get with the alliance. The fact that you're living in a warrior society where your powress in combat reflects your standing in society is really obvious when you're walking the streets of orgrimmar. The music too helps bring this feeling to light,

I used to play alliance. (Mostly because of my IRL friends) But whenever I did I couldn't help but get the feeling ut's much harder to level as alliance. It may be bacuase I'm used to leveling horde, but it just felt so much harder. You had to travel between all sorts of zones before you even hit 25. Playing as horde there's only 2 zones uptil lvl 25. Your start zone and the barrens..

Seeing as I'll never change anyones opinions on which side is the better, I can'y help but wonder... Why did I write this? Anyways, good luck out there.

Personally, I like both sides equally, Alliance and Horde alike. They both have their seperate appeals.

As Alliance, you (can) have the feeling of actually being there, as a Human per-say, and of living a medieval sort of life. The races on that side are more familiar with people, and they are easy to connect too.

As Horde, you get to be something different, something outside the norm. You get to be something that has been traditionally viewed as a 'badguy' race, and it's interesting to see just how not-bad the people are.

I think that is the main reason I like playing Horde a bit more then Alliance though. I have always been the type of person to like the stories behind things more then what is set as face-value. The Horde are presented as the 'evil' ones, but they are really just as 'good' as any of the Alliance. They are just on opposite sides of a war, of course the opposing side is going to be evil to them. The Alliance just seems to attract more of the young, ignorant kids that believe only humans and such are all good and happy. I like to prove them wrong. ;)

like everyone just said about horde getting racials. But, i seem to see more experienced players on horde and they are all (in general) older and nicer. It's not bias, it's just what i see. I would prefer to play on alliance but the flames you get while leveling would make me have to shoot someones knee cap off

To be honest, other than the racials, there isn't really too much of a difference. I can see how players on one side might hate the other due to ganking/etc, but you have to remember, behind every player is a person just like you. So based on that, I really can't see how you can truly HATE the other faction. I like to think of it as a competitive rivalry.

I have to go with the horde the racials are better and for me there is nothing better then running around westfall as a lock and finding a nice lvl 17 gnome thats flaged that tries to run with a dot on him. also its more interesting to play a orc then the standard human, gnome guys. And the final thing is the horde have a much better story and lore then the alliance.

FOR THE HORDE

the first time i played WoW, i waso na friends computer at his house. i was so addicted i practically lived there the entire week. i chose the horde because i enjoyed the trolls starting area, and the barrens zone. ever since ive been addicted to trolls. (troll hunter)

horde appeals t ome more than the alliance, however i do enjoy playing multiple characters for a little variety. for instance my main is a trolll hunter, but i have a gnome mage, dranei shaman, and night elf rogue (one of which i will choose to be my main on the alliance)

doesnt matter which you prefer, as long as your on a different realm, you can play both!
