Have you ever thought that you pledged your allegiance to the wrong faction?

[razorfire]

A playable neutral faction would sap out all my bloodlust for the Horde. and that'd be a good thing.

yeah there's something to be said for not further encouraging community warfare between players of different factions when some are willing to go into a thread with opening comments meant mostly to curse the other side out.

on topic, no I don't feel like I chose the wrong faction, I enjoy horde and while I like occasional bits of alliance storyline I do agree with a fair number of its players that it's made worse (as is the horde's story) when the two factions are focused on fighting each other. actual GOOD reasons for going to war with each other are rarely if ever used and terrible writing is implemented as an excuse to extend the faction war, then the playerbase gets angry about it and neither side will admit the other has any reason to be annoyed and....well then we get what we have on every forum that has both horde and alliance players, a yelling match.

I did not pledge any allegiances. I play both sides. Why should i miss half the game?

Exactly. First time I started an ally toon I liked, I realized what I was missing out on. Now I get to see both.

I feel allegiance to Horde is all good and well ever since Vanilla, but if the Warchief was to stop being Orc? That's when I'll start thinking about rolling Alliance.

I too started as Alliance, rolled horde in TBC because friends (fuck friends! never again) and end of cata, transfered all my million alts to different server and faction. That cost a lot but i have no regrets. I have said this one many times before but: when i logged in after transfer and heard SW music, i really felt like coming home after all those years.

[Scummer]

I did when I started as i was initially Horde. Then I rerolled Alliance.

I do ofcourse play play both factions, but you ofcourse kinda have to main one of them if you want to actively raid without having your schedule consumed by raid knights with two factions.
Atm I'm kinda so so on my "allegiance" atm. I still prefer the Alliance, but to be blunt Blizzards story telling atm has just been way out better on the Horde since Cata so I've been finding myself playing my Horde toons more often than my Alliance ones. So it's not that me allegiance changed, I just wanted to play where the current story was better. Hopefully next expansion will be better.

I picked Alliance because that's what my boyfriend chose a year before me, and I never regret. Feeling horde usually feel akward. I had a period where I played a horde character which I got to level 73(during WotLK), but because of how I imagined my character, it felt right. It was a PvP focused undead warlock on a PvP server. I normally play Alliance PvE. During that period I just wanted to be left alone, and felt a bit reckless and "I don't give a shit". That's how I imagined my undead warlock to be too. I don't RP, but I do feel my characters have some kind of personality anyways.

[Lemons]

I've never wanted to go horde, but the Alliance storyline makes me facepalm constantly. I wish Blizzard gave us half the attention and care they give to the Horde in that department.

[yetgdhfgh]

I feel i nailed my colours to the right faction for me

I never wanted to play the good guy but i knew the horde wasnt gonna bad per say instead it would be a very very dark shade of grey which suits me.

Ive enjoyed the horde storyline way more than the alliance storyline which i have done cause i have a lvl90 worgen alt.

[Wildtree]

I pay for 100% of the game, I play 100% of the game... That simple...

[Deleted]

I've always just found the horde more interesting, so i believe i choose the right faction.

[Elian]

For the shoulder pads!!!

[Deleted]

I faction change all the time, so pretty much. I pray for the day when Blizzard gets rid of the stupid Red vs. Blue concept so I can play with my friends on both sides

You can stop praying because it's never going to happen. It's the core of their franchise. Don't fix something that isn't broken.

Changing their core philosophy like that would be like playing Legend of Zelda without Link. Or Grand Theft Auto without being able to steal cars. Or Assassin's Creed without assassinations. Fallout not set in a post-apocalyptic world. You get the idea yet?

mindless raging horde

No. Night elves, wherever they are, I join them.

[ItachiZaku]

Started Alliance, got hacked, switched to horde and never looked back. My only sadness is the 12Kish kills I had on that jabroni alliance priest I played.

[Airlick]

I started out as Alliance, then switched to Horde for a year or so, and I did regret it. Returned to Alliance for 5 more years, until I quit, and never looked back.

[Deleted]

I was Horde for a lloonngg time. I always preferred the Alliance's races, lore and settlements though, so I moved over a few months ago. Never looked back. I mean, compare Ironforge to old Orgrimmar for coziness.

Alliance capitals actually fit what I, personally, think of a capital - a safe, relaxing place. Spiky orgrimmar doesn't feel like that at all. Though, I'm biased, and I'm sure a Hordie could argue with my point with Silvermoon City. The Horde cities have their charm, like Thunder Bluff with it's amazing views and the feeling of being high up, but I just prefer the gold and blue.

We also have gnomes and two practically immortal races. You jelly? \o/

[Ciddy]

Not really. I wanted to play with my friends, so I chose the faction they were playing (Alliance). I would've been a Horde player if they'd been. My "faction loyalty" is based entirely on that.

Although, Dwarf is by far my favorite race in just about any fantasy setting. So even if I'd been playing solo and had no outside influence from friends, I probably still would've rolled a Dwarf and been Alliance anyway.

[Combatbutler]

I am neither Horde or Alliance, I play both to get the entire lore, though almost all of my friends play horde, which is why I am far more active there.

[Orangetai420]

If you had went with your gut you would be making the thread: "Have you ever thought you should have chosen a different server/faction to play with friends?"

The grass is always greener on the other side.
