That was a fantastic, and meaningful, addition to this conversation.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. There's a part of every MMO, Tabletop RPG, or the like That makes you glad you chose the race/faction that you did. Be it a key moment in the story or some kind of "nifty" racial ability, there's a point where you say "Yeah. I made a great decision."

For me the thought was always there, but the overall culminating moment was a quest chain that ends in Dragonblight and has to do with the Taunka's inclusion into the Horde. It just kind of summed up everything I think is superior about the Horde, given the circumstances of the Taunka's inclusion. From a lore standpoint, the Alliance (with the exception of the dwarves) just seems to me to have the mindset of "We're only going to be friends for now because you have something we need. Once that goal is accomplished, you're out the damn door." Whereas the Horde mentality (again, strictly lore-wise) is more along the lines of "So your society and people were nearly wiped out, right? Join us and we'll help you rebuild to your former glory. And even after the goals are accomplished we can still hang out and go fishing or something."

Horde's battlecry: "For the Horde!"
Alliance's quasi-battlecry: "Grab your sword and fight the Horde!"

The latter only has the former on the mind, and the former has the whole world on the "to do" list. Ergo, Horde wins.

And yes I know I used a joke line from Warcraft III, it's the closest thing I could find to a battlecry. And it works.

Back when I played (I quit over 2 years ago), Allys outnumbered Horde 3 to 1 on the Suramar server. I played Horde initially, because my buddy played Horde. I tried playing Ally, but couldn't get past level 10 on any character. The reason: player quality. The Horde side had nicer people who were always willing to help. Ask where something is in general chat and you'd get directions, coords, and sometimes if someone wasn't busy they'd party up with you and show you exactly where to go. But while playing Ally....nothing. I also found out that the stereotype of Allys being nothing but immature 12 years olds to be true on Suramar. I'm not sure if its changed there, but that was my experience.

Depends, in terms of maturity, I find the Horde to be more mature than Alliance.... of course, that's not saying Horde doesn't have its share of idiots. I guess I'm in between for this.

Neither, I hate WoW.

If you hate WoW, then why come on to a thread thats obviously about WoW if your just going to bash it? Thats what I dont understand. Your obviously bashing it because people who enjoy WoW read this thread.
