In reality, when there WoTLK Classic Gold is a divide between Horde and Alliance, the answer isn't so straightforward, as Hazzikostas explains. Hazzikostas calls the division between factions a "major issue" which the WoW team recognizes it has to work on.

It does. "Alone" is the main word above , but there's more to the faction split that just the narrative. There's nothing quick to fix this, but especially in regards to an equal chance of accessing endgame systems such as M+ and raiding, this is a significant issue we're aware of and must deal with.

It's a topic Hazzikostas has previously touched upon. At an BlizzConline Q&A panel earlier in the time last year Hazzikostas stated that the concept of cross-faction play was on the table.

"At the end of the day , an MMO that is like World of Warcraft is about being able to play with your buddies, being allowed to play the way you'd like, and, perhaps, having a wider expansion of your faction identity If you believe you can select the faction that you feel most comfortable with, the one you feel the most a part ofand do not be forced to give it up in order to be with your friends or would like to join a more prestigious community," he said.

The WoW 9.1.5 patch will bring about several fan-submitted changes to Shadowlands with the addition of the game's infamous AOE cap, and a range of new choices for character creation. The update is currently being tested on the game's public test realm, and doesn't yet have an official release date.
