I'm in agreement with Norfy here, from what I saw, there's the same amount of "retardation" on both sides. Kids on either side, I couldn't tell a difference with the maturity level between Alliance and Horde.
Still, hearing you can change factions is certainly surprising. I doubt I would have switched, but... still it's a shock.

When I first heard of it I was considering changing Lili to alliance and maybe get her raiding. But I like my Blood Elf. Our guild already has two people switching from Horde to Alliance when its available. They are friends with one person in our guild

Can you choose a faction when you create a character? Or do you have to pay for it separately in your account settings, like a realm transfer? Tried looking on the site, but didn't see any info... Either way, if I ever come back, I'll probably make that Orc Warlock for Alliance. She'll finally have "friends", even though said "friends" will make fun of her appearance.

Its not taking Horde races to alliance. You actually swap your race to an Alliance race. So your Orc warlock would either become a Gnome, or Human.

Ah, I see... makes more sense now. Though I know some races are on either side in the case of NPCs, it's rare.
Oh well, was hoping for that alliance orc warlock. XD

Next expansion they should introduce neutral races. A race that is neither Alliance or Horde and by doing certain quest lines you eventually side with one or the other. I think that would be a fun idea.

I got to tank for the first time tonight. As Kaazur, the Paladin. We also had a Druid in the group who offered to tank but I asked him to go Cat Form so I could try it out. He was fine with it even though he was higher level and had more HP. And it was fun. I enjoyed it. Most of what I did was stuff I learned by watching other tanks while playing as Raylu. Like aggro pulling and line of sighting casters around walls. So anyways. It was fun. And just now, as I type this, the group leader sent me another tell for the same instance so I shall tank a second time

Ok, first of all...... i11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/norfenstein/wow/man_woman.jpgThat Paladin chic had a dude's face for some reason but I think my game hit a glitch. I was the only one that could see it like that Secondly, I heard some rumors about the next expansion. Apparantly the PTR has referances to what we can possibly expect. The first is two new races. Goblins and Worgen. Which is alliance and which is Horde is yet to be known as both races are sided to neither. Goblins have ports and vendors for both sides and are onyl there to make a profit. Worgen are typically evil and cause problems for both factions. So my only guess is that these will be considered neutral races and you choose at creation which side to go on. The second is a possible second Hero Class. But what it is is not known. So I can't even guess. I am hoping for a Bard class though. They gave us another DPS/Tank, I think its time for a new Healer/Support class. Also, Ulduaur has only been out for a short time but pics of Tier 9 gear are already surfaced. I like the design but each class looks like each other based on the type of armor. Like Paladin, Death Knight, Warrior gear (Plate gear) all look the same with color differances. How lazy can you get? Death KnightPaladinWarrior

OMG, that's hilarious. Ugliest woman ever. XD
Nice to hear about new races and what not. I read an article a few weeks ago saying something about WoW COULD go to F2P... that would be awesome if it did. But, not holding my breath.

The rumor about the new races on the PTR came from new masks for the Halloween event. The masks you can get are male or female Goblins or male or female Worgen. The goblin one wasn't the giveaway but the fact that female Worgen have not been seen in the game yet is the giveaway that these are our new races. The masks... static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/july/newraces.jpg

Goblin was expected as a new playable race, but didn't expect Worgen. Kinda cool if it is though. However after seeing the female's face, all I can think of are Furries. D:

If I were to choose I would have Goblin on Horde side. Cause Horde doesn't have a midget race. And I would put Worgen on Alliance. Cause Alliance doesn't have a beastial type race. Some of the tier gear is cool imo. But others look absolutly horrible. Like I have loved what I have seen for Priest so far but I have not been too impressed with the Death Knight stuff. And you know me and Death/Dark/Shadow Knight stuff. Paladin has been 50/50 but Warrior I have liked through and through. But....no matter how much you may like or not like how tier gear looks. You have seen nothing as bad as this. Tier 8 Rogue. www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/02/rogue_tier8_male.jpgFucking Halloween costume! goddamn! I burst out laughing when I first saw it in game XD

Eeeeyyyyuuuuuck! That's hideous. >.> I've seen some of my warlock stuff and I'm not impressed with it...it looks like plate mail and if I wanted to wear plate I'd have been a paladin.

No way in hell I'd make Tairotha wear that monstrosity. Hideous! If I had to, I'd at least hide the helmet.
