I was not thrilled about the looks of the Horde side and finally settled on an undead warrior. I leveled up to about 30 ish and had my first pvp run in with the alliance, who happened to be a rogue - who promptly sapped me, unstealthed in front of me, did a /point and a /laugh, and then went about his business. <br /><br />Needless to say I had no idea what just happened, but I knew I had to do that to an alliance guy and rerolled rogue.<br /><br />About the time my rogue hit 47 the people we had started the game with all quit, which just left the wife any myself leveling. Eventually we found a guild to join up with and I have some of the best memories from that guild.<br /><br />Playing Horde for as long as I have has afforded me two things:<br /><br />1- An outstanding affection for the old Horde races. I still don't like blood elfs that much.<br /><br />2-A strong dislike for the Alliance races, due to the fact we leveled on a pvp server when the game was first released.<br /><br /><br />I have always been curious as to the Alliance story lines and such. I have managed to get a paladin to 42 (before the Horde had paladins, I wanted to see what they'r about) and ended up going back to the Horde. I had friends there and it was a comfortable fit for me.<br /><br />I've been curious, though, about that faction. Especially now, because I've leveled through Horde side so many times (6 characters level 60+ & 3 @80) I know the quest lines like the back of my hand.<br /><br />I've been curious about leveling through the alliance zones to get to know the quest lines before cataclysm comes and changes the old world.<br /><br />There's one thing that holds me back. <br /><br />Why does the alliance always get their ass handed to them in pvp?Deftighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404189161333779934noreply@blogger.com
