Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft

Hell, people are still making jokes about Barrens chat in this very post, do you see anyone talking about Westfall? If we wanna go off cultural relevancy, Horde is way more well known. Nobody cares about asking “Where’s the Defias Messenger,” but everyone knows Mankirk’s wife.

I agree that the size of Barrens meant that the chat was something else. I meant that while Alliance got three zones that felt unique and populated, horde had one giant open plain.
Might be because I started as Alliance and switched to Horde quite early

Horde also had Silverpine if you weren’t hot for the plains, and it’s not like you were actually meant to level nonstop in Barrens from 10-20, though I won’t pretend Stonetalon is that much of a change of scenery.
But again, you’re comparing two very different vibes. The Alliance was meant to feel civilized because they’d existed in the Eastern Kingdoms for thousands of years. The Horde had only been on Kalimdor for like a decade, and their start reflected that.

I appreciate you saying that. I did not want to sit still for the Silverpine erasure. Leveling my little undead priest at launch is the most fun I’ve ever had in a computer game. Me at level 10 going a bit to far up the path to Scarlet Monastery was a truly confusing moment.
