Well, it has been done. I have been thinking about making a faction change for awhile, due to various reasons. Drach has been a Draeni (or space goat for you racists) for as long as time. I got bogged down on my server, and was getting frustrated with many of the people I was dealing with, and one of the good friends in my life wanted to roll Horde, so it just made sense.
Drach is now an Orc!
I decided to keep the name, because I like the name. 😉 Now the character may look different, but he’s still Drach. So far this has been a great experience. At least on my server, the Horde are much friendlier and less like a feminine hygiene product that rhymes with “spruce tag”.
I’ve joined a terrific guild with a great bunch of people with an emotional maturity greater than a high school student, which is always great. There is another Hunter in my guild, actually quite a few, but one in particular that took me under his wing when he heard that I recently made the switch to Survival spec. He took me to the training dummies and helped me polish up my rotation. It was a lot of fun. We’ve actually got a Baradin Hold run set up for tonight that I’m hoping to make it to. 😀
So, what’s the point of this article you may be asking yourself? Well, many of you from the forums know that this has been a consideration of mine for awhile now, but also I wanted it serve as a motivator to not get stuck in a rut.
If you’re frustrated or unhappy with what’s going on for you in game… consider a change like mine. I never thought I would jump factions because I felt tied in to where I was, but now I’m really glad I decided to make the switch! I want to encourage those of you who feel stuck to consider shaking things up a bit. I’m not telling you to hop factions, but why not try something new – whether that means going with a new spec, taming that rare that you’ve been dreaming of, or even starting a new hunter and trying a different race’s starting quest line.
The point I’m trying to make is… we all get stuck at times and feel like there is nothing we can do to change, but there is. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, so go out and shake things up a bit!
Although, I did get myself a little treat before swapping factions… I’m now a member of the SB6 club!
Peace!

Orc Hunters are the Beast Hunters. 🙂 But, for other specs, maybe trolls? I dunno
Same thing happened to me a long time ago, My Dwarf just was getting to me along with the Allies I played with……wish we would have had Faction Change back then but it was fun leveling up a Tauren and I still play with people 4 years later that I met when I did. FOR THE HORDE and good luck.
haha, i have a nightelf hunter and decided to create a tauren druid (heal) which is now lvl82 through only instance expirence 🙂
i like the horde much and my nightelf will possible change too to horde!
FOR THE HORDE ^^
*shakes head*
I know Cel…..I know 🙁
When I first read this I was shocked :/ I will admit that horde do work better as a team overall. But how could you desert us! 🙁 we will miss the Draenei-Drach.
Grats on SB6! And welcome to the club 😀
I play both Horde and Alliance, but I like Horde the best. Fewer jerks no matter what the server. When I’m on Alliance I’ve never been ganked with the regularity that I get it when playing Horde. I don’t PVP, but if I accidentally get flagged I know some Allie asshat will kill me before it fades. They usually wait until I’m not facing them and hunting something to attack as well. Sigh.
I am hunting Skoll and thank you for your page on him. I probably don’t have the time to devote to getting him but such is life.
Enjoy your Orc. I think they are a hoot and have a great dance. Try a Troll for fun too. I love the mightly Taurens and that’s my main. Good luck with your new look and friends!
For the Horde!
I was an Alliance hunter a couple years ago. My friend told me he was on a different server, so I paid to transfer. I log in and ask where he is. He tried to invite me to a group but was unable to. Then he says, “You’re Horde…right?” ;?)
I spent the cash and ended up being an Orc Hunter. I’m very happy with my race and allegiance. Glad you are too, Drach.
Lol! Glad you ended up together, and Orc Hunters are the best!
Zub Zub!
Great move although I would have rolled with a troll!
For the Horde.
Grim Reaver
HURRAY!! *shakes pompoms* WELCOME TO THE HORDE! 😀 😀 😀
Spruce Tag. ROFL made my night.
I can’t believe I’m the only one who loved that.
Lol! I know right, I thought more people would have picked up on that, I knew that you would though!
“Lol! I know right, I thought more people would have picked up on that”
Because it was a whoosh gag… ha, ha… get it… as in…
eh, nevermind…
😀
/end cheesy humor
/jealous
not for rolling horde….for being SB6 4 life!
Way to go, Drach!
Thanks Lawman!
FOR THE HORDE! Although you could have been even cooler and went Troll! FOR ZUL’JIN!
It was for sure on my list, but the Orc racials were too good to pass up!
All I can say is: ABOUT TIME! 😛 HORDE 4 LIFE!!
Woot for Orc hunters the best hunters in the game!
Welcome to the Horde and the SB6 Club. Orgrimmar looks awesome, right?
It is awesome! Takes a little while to get used to, but it’s a really cool city!
For the HORDE!! Gratz and welcome!
Thanks!
