P2Pah WoTLK:I've always been an Alliance player from DonnaStella's blog

However, things do happen which left a scar between WOTLK Classic Gold the two sides. Then, things happen in the opening of Battle for Azeroth that cement the relationship. Some of the imagery that you'll be seeing includes Sylvanas standing in front Teldrassil and setting it on fire. And then, in the opening cinematic, that event was right before the Alliance finally say, "Okay, we've had it" before they assault Lordaeron. This means that some really heavy happenings are expected to take place between them. And we just felt like this would be an extremely interesting time to delve back to that old battle of Alliance the Horde Horde.


Having two brand new continents...are the cartographers in Azeroth just really, terrible at what they do? What are the reasons these new landmasses keep appearing?You know, it's pretty rough out there. We're talking about seafaring Warcraft and blimps. It's impossible to view all of the things. It's like traversing channels that are well-known.Is it going to be something like Pandaria which is hiding in the mists time?


No. I mean this was talked about in some novels, and it's an issue that's been avoided in the game itself. It was however an area that's not known to anyone. The purpose of this is both sides reaching out and seeking to gather additional allies in this big conflict. What they don't want to do is to get one of these locations, as well as the people who are in them, fall into to the control of other side.


I've always been an Alliance player. However, when it comes to story, I take lots of criticism from Horde friends who say their stories are better. The Horde has that fall from grace that makes them feel a little less relatable in some ways, while humans appear to be the nice guys that turn out to be the dicks.


That's really interesting. I prefer playing Horde more often, but I like at playing both side so I have a top level character on each side. In my opinion, I move between the story for myself. It's like ... at times I'm thinking "Ah! The Alliance is a far better story! The Horde ought to have this!"


It's about whatever resonates with you I believe. We don't purposefully try to transform the Alliance into...whatever you've said"laughs. I think that the characters are quite powerful. Anduin in this new expansion, is really coming in to his own. He's now ready to be the king, and there's a rite of passage. In the movie we showed, there's a revelation on his part in which He basically kills off bunch of Horde individuals close to him. It's then clear, is that really his way of life or is it. In the end, he's performing this massive mass healing, which is more than what he's all about. This is why I believe he's mixing the essence of his father and the Alliance and his personal identity into this.


On the other hand, you'll get to see lots of the evolution of Sylvanas. We were able to see some of the character in Legion. We told a portion of her story, she's the chieftain in the Horde, but you'll see much more about her when you play Battle For Azeroth. The stories in these are not just about the one enemy as in Legion however they are more about two different sides.


In that sense, it's as if it's going to be a more intimate story because we've done these kinds of epic, world-ending narratives.Absolutely. It's not a big giant monster or a titan like Sargeras. The issue is about the most powerful enemy one could ever face. Actually, it's the another guy, the different buy WOTLK Gold  faction.In some ways, this is like going back to the beginning, back to the conflict that began with orcs and humans. Do you think this is gonna be the best place for first-time players to start?
