The Pandaren race (added in Mists of Pandaria) remains neutral until after getting past the beginner zone, where the player must select one of the two factions. There are currently 12 races, 6 for each faction. Once you have chosen a faction, the next step is selecting your avatar's race. The only consideration is that a faction cannot openly communicate with players that do not belong to the same faction. Both factions have their fair share of heroes and villains, whether it is the Alliance or the Horde. Experience what millions of players have since 2004 in adventuring in the World of Warcraft. Prepare for adventure and build your own legend! Enter the World of Warcraft and join the endless conflict between the noble Alliance and the courageous Horde, as these factions battle each other, as well as the dark evil that seeks to engulf the world of Azeroth.
