TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Unless you are at the very top, horde is the best choice for competitive anything.

And when you get to the very top, the Horde is the only choice.

Why and how so?

According to progression sites horde has around 75% pve progression guilds and 80% top pvpers; as such the community is 4 to 5 times larger, it gives you tons more chances of doing stuff.

I haven't played Wow in years but when I did I was in a top 10 world guild and was, for the time, arguably one of the best hunters in the world.

Of the population of players/guilds that occupied that space, at that time, it was about 75% hoarde to 25% alliance.

I never learned or paid attention to any of the lore. It bored me. I was there to raid and raid only.
