Okay so
today I was hit with a question that made me question my entire outlook on life…Horde
or Alliance? I have been playing Warcraft for about 15 years now, 5 of those
years playing the soul sucking World of Warcraft. For those of you who don’t
know because apparently you spend your time underneath a rock, the two opposing
factions in the World of Warcraft are the noble Alliance filled with members
that still need their parental figure go ahead to stay up late, and the honour
bond Horde who fill their ranks with slightly psychotic video gamers, a scary
notion in its self. Now back to the matter at hand, both factions offer in
depth back stories of redemption, courage, and other fancy words that make them
look heroic, while still having those moments in their history that you kind of
ignore them and say “Nope, I don’t know them”. So in terms of story they are
equal. If you ask what about gameplay, I meet you with a swift hand to the back
of the head and move swiftly on. What it comes down to for me is what you want
to do? Do you want to battle the various 1s and 0s designed to take on different
forms and shapes, i.e., PVE; or to battle the ridiculously massive fan base and
pray and hope they aren’t playing with a Rogue, i.e. PVP. In truth I play Horde
for PVE and Ally for PVP. Why? Because the Ally for some odd reason always win
PVP, because the Horde couldn’t be bothered to follow simple instructions and
their thrust for blood always get me killed. The Ally however seems able to
think during a blood thrusty encounter. However during a PVE such as a rad, they
start to panic at the smallest hint of trouble running around screaming likes
four-year old girls. Horde takes up the challenge and barrels on through honoring
their blood carving nature. Of course there are exemptions to these rules, for
example if you are playing against an all-Russian PVP team, you’re fucked
either way. Thanks Putin.
