My experiences in World of Warcraft

For the Horde!

If you don’t play Wow, you might not want to bother reading this. It is directed to players, in regards to attitudes. Especially those that float around the realm of Anvilmar.

Alliance outnumbers Horde by a ridiculous amount. And in recent months, some of the best Guilds on Horde have either switched servers, disbanded, or changed factions to Alliance.

All because of attitudes that players have acquired. I didn’t move my two 80’s from Horde to Alliance. I just made another 80 on Alliance. Leveling on Alliance was very educational. Took only a month. And to be honest, I’d much rather play Horde.

Seems more adults play Horde for one thing. Alliance is full of teens and pre-teens, who think hiding behind the mask of a character grants them the freedom to “talk like an adult” in trade chat. Take a clue kiddies. The subject matter and language gives your age away. Adults don’t talk like that, at least most have grown out of it.

Boasting about your win in Wintergrasp when you outnumber Horde five to one, is nothing to really boast about, since it isn’t even a real challenge. Try winning on Horde when you’re outnumbered five to one, then you can boast. But they don’t, they just pat each other on the back for a job well done.

You wonder why Horde don’t care? Why more often then not you can dance into their major cities and take out their leaders with very little effort? Might be because Horde players for the most part are working a job, going to college, and not playing every spare minute they have. Because some have their own kids to tend to. And they often say, let them get their achievement and leave.

Why don’t they come into your cities more often and take down your leaders? For one thing, your cities aren’t as easy to get into as the Horde cities. And many of you kiddies with level 80’s sit in the major cities doing nothing while you talk crap to each other in trade chat. And no way are you going to allow the Horde to take down your leaders for an achievement.

You think Horde don’t care. Horde just see’s the game for what it is. It’s a game. Yes, there are those who play by the numbers. They come into the game and are serious raiders. They play to get gear and all the achievements. They fight the challenge laid out before them. And choose not to deal with the immature egos of many Alliance that disrupt their game time.

Then there are players like
