1) There are 1% more Horde then there are Alliance on the server.

2) There are more Chinese (from China, who do not usually speak fluent or any English) on the Alliance.

3) Alliance wins almost all pre-made PvP team matches. (Either because of paladins, or skill, the jury is still out on that.)

4) Alliances loses almost all casual matches between random pickup groups.

5) Horde ques for battlegrounds are -incredibly- long (like a half-hour) even though faction numbers are close to equal because most Alliance don't give a fuck about ranking up in PvP and spend more time raiding and doing dungeons.

6) Alliance and Horde almost trade 50/50 on Alterac Valley.

I chose Alliance, because I was Alliance in retail, and am trying to relive my glory days from before I joined the (U.S.) military -- and once I have my character setup how I like, I plan to go for Grand Marshal (probably -after- they release the upgraded Grand Marshal weapons and gear). Because of the relative equality of the factions on this server? I recommend you play what your friends play... or, if you have no friends yet:

Play what you will enjoy playing.

Even though it is completely arbitrary? I hate the horde. Not because they deserve it... but because I'm Alliance, and it's fun (and in theme) to hate and for us to stomp on eachother and spam laugh or spam spit on eachother.

Play the faction you love. Have faction pride. Beat your chest. Have fun! <3

And welcome to Nostalrius. <3

At 2 hours a day every day you are looking at about a year of leveling, if my math is right. Obviously other factors like what class you play, and how experienced you are at leveling will also affect it.

Both factions are decent for both pvp/pve, and regardless of what anyone tells you battlegrounds at 60 are more or less balanced, EXCEPT for two factors: 1) Alliance have instant queue times vs horde having to wait a long while. 2) As a rule of thumb Alliance premades dominate if you can get into them. For these reasons I would recommend alliance if you are serious about pvp, but if you only want to pvp casually it really won't matter much.

Rogues are strong gankers but imo not worth much in organized pvp premades, and very strong dps, but suffer from being incredibly overplayed on this server. If you roll a rogue prepare to struggle to find groups at endgame. Mages are incredibly good but also very overplayed. Shadow priests also kick ass in pvp, but are less useful in raiding. However they are also much less common the the first two.

Every day 2 hours are round about 120 days.
Average level time to 60 is something like 10 days ingame.

10*24 / 2 = 120.

So it will take long...
