My fiancé and I cannot wait enough for the new pve realm! We'll be going for the Orc Warrior / Troll priest combo!

Horde warrior reporting in

[TOVAR]

Gnome affliction warlock + Dwarven BeastMaster hunter + Gnome Frost Mage. Yes, I will play all three. Don't really care how long it takes to ding 60 with each one of them. I want to savour the 'voyage' again. Questing in STV! Arathi! Tanaris! Hillsbrad! Oh my!
Good thing I quitted my job!

60% alliance thus far. Just as I predicted.

60% alliance thus far. Just as I predicted.

and it would not even be a bad thing.
the only thing this % matters at is PvP. and as horde tends to be more interested in PvP/BGs generally, alliance needs a higher % to be head to head there. thus horde might eventually also get into BGs as fast as alliance does with such %

Ally warrior! And what are carebears? Seems like something that only girls and guys who want to be girls know about!

Furthermore, PvP is something that was thrown into WoW. It's an extra activity like professions and reputation for factions. WoW has and always will be about raiding. I have never seen an expansion and will never see an expansion that is solely PvP. WoW has always been about raids thus PvE. Most vanilla players don't go back to play the amazing PvP because it wasn't. People play vanilla for the old raids. Nostalgia is in the raids. And that is players versus the environment!

Ok, but then, why so much hatr..er..animosity versus players that want a PvE server? The current server is (way too much) populated enough, and I believe it will be for years. So, no drop in player base.Maybe some pvE people won't log in, but most new players will since pvP seems to be the dominant 'type' of vanilla WoW players. Also, people will continue to roll alts when they need more professions or are somewhat bored with their 60's that do only raiding plus some BG's or WpVp. So, there will always be enough 'gankable' material. And if we suppose that gankers are just a tiny fraction of the overall player base, why is it then? The small number of hardcore gankers are just much louder than the vast majority? And if so, why? Redridge/STV/etc lowbie ganking is done to Pvp/PvE lowbies alike. So i don't really buy it. Pure bad attitude toward anything that you don't deem necessary? Pure envy about people getting fun at something else you consider..stupid? Why should you even care if that would not impact your own gaming word except for lowering lag and making your gaming experience better?
Instead, ALL the PvP players with a bit of healthy thinking should have logged on the PvE test server to make 100% sure it gets done, to get rid of all those 'carebears' with their silly attiute at cuddling with the enemy and just taking space and causing lag?
Stating 'they better fix lag and bugs instead of wasting human resources/hardware/money) on new server" is a moot point.
You can't just take an old VW Beetle from a scrapyard (vanilla game engine) and upgrade it to Ferrari Testarossa to reach 340 km/h. It just doesnt work like that. But you can take another Beetle from the scrapyard and patch it up to make it run at a decent speed.
