Lorewise, Horde. I really hate the character of Varian Wrynn for his ignorant hatred of Thrall. Thrall! The orc who's been desperately trying for peace between the two factions for about a decade now!

Gameplay-wise, it doesn't matter. I've been both, and both sides have their children, and their adults. it's a pretty even spread
Varian's a dick, but to be fair, Garrosh isn't much better. Plus, Putress and Varimathras, not to mention what the Blood Knights did to M'uru.

I am Undead Mage, Horde on Gul'dan and I have to say Gul'dan is neutral. Horde players aren't assholes but they will berate you if you turn down a challenge.

I hose undead becuase Sylvanus Windrunner's story sounded the best to me. The whole story made them not totally Horde but they still part of it somewhat. It sounded almost truly neutral.

This is just my personal experience on Khaz'Modan, but I like the Horde waaaay better. I rolled an Ally and got him to like 25 and I didn't HATE it, but it definitely wasn't as good as the horde. People just weren't as helpful or mature.
The down side to being horde on Khaz'Modan is that they are outnumbered about 4 to 1 by the allies. It is a miracle to win a BG and for a while WG was a joke (I think we've gotten better now). Also out of the top 50 or so guilds 40 something of them are Ally.
But really it's all up to personal preference. Even though we get dominated by the Alliance I think the Horde is way better. They have better races, better backstory and all that jazz.

P.S Also the Alliance is OCD about keeping Sentinel Hill safe and winning at their precious World PvP.

Must... resist... urge... to say "Lok'tar Ogar!!!"
There I said it. Horde all the way, better friends, friendlier guilds, and much less omfgwtfhaxxwewipedunubs

Ok I'll give you Garrosh and Putress, but I don't quite know if I wanna give you Varimathras, what with him betraying the horde and being immediately killed by Sylvanas and Thrall (at least on the horde quest anyway, haven't played the alliance one yet).

I might let you have Sylvanas for being dumb enough to trust a Dread Lord though, given that treachery is their first, middle, and last names ;)

And as for M'uru, yep, I'll give you that, BUT! During and after the fights with Kael'thas and Kil'jaeden, the Blood Elves and the Draenei/Naaru made their peace with each other, to the point that Velen gave the blood elves a new source of power to draw from, by reigniting the sunwell. Lorewise, the Blood Elves and the Draenei have kissed and made up really.

If only the rest of the Horde and the Alliance could do that!*

*Well, not really, PvP is rather fun :p

Trust me, after the BC came out, Horde became pretty much worse then Alliance. It's less noticeable on some servers, but on many... You'll be surrounded by stereotypical Blood Elf characters with stupid name, no idea of what grammar is, and general childishness.
I disagree, although I'll give you the blood elf thing. You nailed that.

From what I heard from my friend, the Horde overruns all the major servers and he's constantly getting pwned by them (He's Alliance). So Horde.

Hey Everyone. I have been playing an alliance paladin for 2 years, i'm in a nice guild but i dont raid and im getting really bored. i have the epic mounts, the pvp gear, the profs, the titles but im really bored. I rolled a hunter the other day on the horde side and im having a great time so far (im level 48) but i feel guilty about ditching the alliance. I just want an honest answer, i love both sides and i cant choose so can you please just tell me which side i should be playing?
Do not feel guilty. There is no good reason for partisanship in WoW, all that matters is what is good, non-griefing fun. You should be playing either side, and if your alliance characters have gotten stale, by all means play a horde character.

...

Okay, okay, I guess I'll throw in my opinion on the whole "Alliance vs. Horde" thing. I play Alliance, simply because every jackass and a very few otherwise reasonable people I've ever listened to online say Horde.

Supposedly, the Horde has the more honorable characters, the more interesting story, the better PvPers, the more noble and helpful players, the best gear, the best raiders, the best baseball teams, the favor of Jeebus H. Buddha III himself, etc. These same people describe the Alliance as an open cesspit, infested with the dregs of humanity, whose pitiable ignorance of their lot in life is matched only by their unrelenting asshattery and noobishness.

These people, needless to say, can go jump in a lake. There is no huge difference inherent in the factions, and the only real social factor isn't determined by faction, but by server. RP servers forever, incidentally.

Thrall > Varian
Saurfang > Bolvar
Grom > Uther
Garrosh All of them (Dude jumped into the twisting nether and saved the world and a cut into the leg of the ultimate evil)
L80ETC > Stormwind Polka Band

(Jaina also doesn't count as she is part of the separate Kul Tiras faction which only ever aided the Alliance)
Aw, HELL naw.

Uther = Grom, broski. And why are you comparing Thrall to Varian? How about Thrall to Arthas (though Thrall to Jaina, Furion or Tyrande might be more apt), Varian to Garrosh (in which case Varian schools that emo Maghar), so on and so forth.

Thrall = Furion
Jaina > Sylvanas
Varian > Garrosh
Magni > Cairne
Velen > That Blood Elf Guy
Uther = Grom
Bolvar < Saurfang (I'll concede that, but Bolvar is a badass in his own right. See: Onyxia Chain, Wrathgate)

Plus Alliance has Muradin Bronzebeard, Alleria and Turalyon, Kurdan Wildhammer, and Tirion Fordring.
'sif I say sir! 'sif!

Uther = Grom?, remind me which third-in-the-chain-of-command-demon-lord did Uther kill? Which race did he free from a blood curse? That's right, none . Thrall to Varian is very fair as they are both influential, inspirational leaders of their respective races(Along with Gladiator storylines and having survived horrible childhoods) it's just that Thrall > Varian any day of the week.

Also you're counting alot of the Loaderon Alliance(Arthas, Jaina, Uther. I counted Uther because I ran out of Stormwind Alliance heroes) which is different to the Stormwind Alliance, Furion returned to sleep before the NE's joined the Alliance and even Tyrande hasn't done much since joining it.

So to go through the rest:

Thrall = Furion(Nullified)
Jaina > Sylvanas(Nullified)
Varian > Garrosh(Unfair as Garrosh isn't a leader but ok)
Magni > Cairne(I'd like to actually see this one it would be pretty close but I'll agree in Cairne's old age it would be difficult)
Velen > That Blood Elf Guy(Kinda yeah kinda no, I forget his name too but he's not actually as bad as most elves. (Sunwell trilogy he helps out))
Uther = Grom(Nullified and no contest even if it wasn't)
Bolvar < Saurfang (Your words:I'll concede that, but Bolvar is a badass in his own right. See: Onyxia Chain, Wrathgate)

Plus Alliance has Muradin Bronzebeard(Loaderon), Alleria and Turalyon, LOTHAR jeez forgetting your own heroes.(I think they were from the original Alliance but I forget), Kurdan Wildhammer(The wildhammer have never been part of the Alliace actually), and Tirion Fordring(Excuseeee me? excuuuuuuuuuse me? first of Loaderon and YOU KICKED HIM OUT!)

Fix'd it for you. :D

(Sorry if this is some kind of obsecne necro I slept in and had to rush to school this morning)

Edit: I'm still up for that Azer-off just tell me when your ready to get your blue-ass handed to you and I'll be there.

Wait, wait wait. Are we arguing about who could kick more ass, or who's more awesome? I was arguing the latter, not the former.

(And Tirion's still in Valgarde. Alliance town, bro.)

(You should be playing) FOR THE HOOOOOOOORDE!

No but really, from my experience, hordes generally play better, because little children pick the Alliance, since they are more of the kind of "knights in shining armor" and the horde are "ugly beasts", but better players know more of their racial skills etc.

Neither, both have defected from their mutual alliance which could have stood. I side with the Burning Legion.

Mostly awesome for me, but you still lose on ass-kicking and don't deny it.

Edit: He may be in Valgarde but he is part of the reformed and SEPARATE Argent Dawn plus Kinights of the Silver Hand, the Argent Crusade.

Play both. I know people who have one of each. In can be done.

In WoW terms, would that make you bi?
The problem is that having one of each makes you loose out on one of the greatest parts of having a higher level main being that you supply them with good items and gold, it can be done cross faction through use of the neutral Ratchet auction(I think) but is pretty hard.

And yeah it would kinda, what's your battle cry "For Everybody!" or more like the Goblins "For the highest bidder!"?
