Horde and Alliance players are unable to group/party with each other, trade, create guilds, or even talk to each other unless both players have learned a common language.
meant that you couldn't do any of those things unless you had a common language. Damn dangling participles...
So, if this is the case, an Alliance character will NEVER group with, or guild with, a shaman character? How does this work for raiding? Two guilds working together?
It means you are screwed and everyone has to be the same faction.
No, you're not right... but you *have* become the most fucking annoying person on this board. Why don't you just chill the fuck out already... go back to your game forums and stop trying to cause more stupid flame wars.
Yeah, actually it is foreign to WoW players... because, you see, we're not experiencing them in WoW. We don't have the experience with it unlike what some are dealing with in the other games out there.

From your post earlier
I'm not currently playing WoW
Well, speaking as a WOW player, you are wrong. Maybe when you become a wow player you can comment.
Why do you try to turn every critical post about flaws in WOW into a flamewar against other games? I know you want that sweet sweet WOW juice.
horde and alliance can trade using the auction system in gaz....
Why would alliance need to group or talk with horde, if you want to talk to friend who isnt same faction, just make a character... defending your town and attacking other without understanding what other person is saying is a good thing, hard to have a flame fest when you dont talk same language...
Raiding... why would we in alliance need a shaman? or why would horde need a pally? 2 alliance guilds can raid np togeather. There are plenty of guilds in your faction to do so. that is the only diff between the two....
We raid quite simple without a shaman.
Communication.... my brothers, sister, and their friends are all going to play the same faction etc as myself, this is prearranged. If we want to play both, np, just make character add friends to friend list... you are told whenever friends pop on, for that faction. you can always mail your friend your new horde characters name as well so they know.
When I played, I played a Tauren Shaman. I did Tauren Shaman stuff. I didn't group - I played mostly solo (a few pickup groups) and did quests. I explored - but I never went to the Undead city. I crossed continents - but not there. I didn't try to hook up with anyone - I wanted to experience the game MY way to see whether *I* would like it - not if someone else could convince me to like it.
Did that make me "clueless" on a few issues such as grouping rules, guilding processes, and travel to places I never went? Sure it did - but it gave me a wealth of information about how the game would play FOR ME and my own determination into how well I would enjoy it.
Well, if thinking for myself is going to make it so I am like you instead of like me, I will wait.
Seeing how everything I have said that you ahve ever challenged has resolved with me being 100% correct and you falling into a name calling fit, I think we can see that your thinking process is flawed.
Ugzugz, you should have an especially acute sense of message-board trolls by now...

In EQ2, fractioning the player base into two camps that can't interact would eventually fail, since subscriptions fall out over time as players become accustomed to SoE faggishness. If WoW doesn't do this, it won't be an issue.
I actually like the constant tension with the factions, coming across someone who is PvP flagged is a lot of fun.
Think of the Arena in EQ. You can chill out and do that anywhere pretty much. Luring people into The Fray. You don't lose any exp from it, corpse runs are generally short because of the way that graveyards/binds are handled...
Really its like playing against TW people in the arena because neither of you can really speak one another's language and you can only crudely communicate through the preset emotes.
I find it amusing that Naginasoefanboy is here claiming the horde/alliance split is some awful game mechanic, while at the same time maintaining that EQ2 is flawless. While I don't much like the fact that I can't at least talk to friends who are playing horde, it does make sense within the context of their game world and game lore that sets the backdrop for the game.
Meanwhile, how many different retarded design decisions have people here called EQ2 on? Yes, even people who've played it extensively?
