Now, to make things even more wide open, here comes the second idea. Welcome to the Alliance, because the Horde will kill you on site. Same goes for your Forsaken Warlock, or Tauren Warrior. You meet at the designated spot, agree to defect, and then a 25 step questline (same number to finish unlocking Vulpera) puts you through the test, and when you pass, you are welcomed by the Horde instantly changing your faction and your Dwarven Paladin is now Friendly with the Horde and hated by the Alliance. Even though you know a Dwarf would never EVER consider working with the Horde, you as a dwarf are simply tired of Alliance politics and wars we can’t win. So your Worgen Druid, or Dwarven Paladin decides to check it out. The other side has heard of you, and wants to recruit you bring you over to their cause.

At level 20, you receive a cryptic message in your mailbox asking for a confidential meeting, outside of your faction’s zone. Sometimes, when someone no longer believes in a cause, they defect to another group and work for the other side. What does that even mean “Allied Faction”? Allow me to explain. Much like the legwork needed to unlock an Allied Race, we need something at level 20 that unlocks an Allied Faction. I believe a Traitor’s Questline would shake things up a bit. So what does it mean? Where is this all going? Glad you asked. Now, while I would never join the Twilight Hammer, or even the Darkmoon Faire, I could be persuaded to do so with the Kirin Tor, or the Cenarion Circle as an example. They all have the same goal, the same purpose. In fact, there is substantial lore and evidence to suggest this is absolutely possible.Īll of these 3rd party factions have one thing in common: they all have Alliance and Horde races working side by side together. Thank you.Īfter all these years, and all of the times the Alliance and Horde have come together to bring down the next big bad, I see the opportunity for change. The following is simply an idea, written down, and shared for discussion.

It is neither designed to sway the direction of the game, nor is it a demand for change.
