The discussion turned to the fact that some “fields” in the World War II craft craft or the Servers Alliance or Horde have a fairly small population. And because players can only navigate in raids, dungeons, and do most of the other stuff with their same group, players can either switch to higher population servers or switch groups, effectively either some servers or even more. Becomes squid or abandoned. Absolutely. Hazzicosta cited features such as cross-server gameplay and the connected area as the bulk of the issue, but acknowledged that among other issues, the need for guilds made up of all the characters on one server was still a problem.
Johnson then asked the panel a question that he admitted came up mostly on an annual basis, each time with a negative answer: will Blizzard ever let Horde and Alliance raid, or will the mythical dungeon go together?
With his response, Hazzicosta saw the trend:
“I will never say honestly … there are many reasons why it is necessary to maintain the identity of a liar, but for the sake of a rated arena, from day one, the Alliance can fight and fight Horde Horde. When the Crusade Burning Classic will come out later this year , It will be a thing and it will be a competitive activity, and it was one of those areas where the need for gameplay and matchmaking was and should be a priority. In the ideal world, all of these priorities co-existed, but at the end of the day Like MMOs will be able to play with your friends, play where you want to be and arguably, group identity has a higher elevation if you think you can actually choose the group you know with, which you feel most part of Is, and it doesn’t have to be sacrificed because you need to be with your group or you want to join a high-rated guild.
“I have colleagues who are lifetime Alliance players who now play Horde, who really wish they could be an alliance, which they are doing for guild reasons, and I know there are thousands of people in exactly the same boat around the world, maybe more. “We would love to do something for them.”
As this transformation ends as it appears, it is clear that the possible unification Hazzikosta suggests is not coming any time soon. The ChainsDF Domination of P9ch.1.1 includes a number of new features, including a new raid, a mega-dungeon and a new outdoor area, it doesn’t look like Alliance and Horde will play together anymore.
But Blizzard seems to be taking a bigger leap than anyone who has not thought in the past, the developers told IGN in a pre-Blizzone interview that they are open to the idea of one day releasing the wrath of the Leach King classic version – if enough players are interested.
