WoW Europe forums: Is having mulitple toons acceptable? |
Okay, so maybe defecting to the other side in World of Warcraft isn't a hot idea at the moment. How about maintaining an account in both?While there aren't any rules regarding this, Brunhild posted this as a matter of concern over at the WoW Europe forums. This was due to the player receiving angry reactions from fellow guildmates when they were told that Brunhild had characters for both the Alliance and the Horde.
Brunhild's apparently looking for reassurance that playing both sides wasn't some unwritten rule that would draw the ire of the rest of the WoW community. And what better source of comfort, than some words from Blizzard spokesman Vaneras, who told Brunhild that it was a perfectly normal thing to do. Here's the blue-texter's answer:
There are always some people, who are more "dedicated" towards a specific faction in games, which I guess is a quite normal thing. It is human nature to be competitive and to form groups and communities, so it is only natural to choose sides in order to more easily draw a distinction between you and others as well as friend and foe.
But some people are open minded and some are not, and that is often the sole reason why you meet this kind of behaviour in-game and on the forums. I believe that most people have characters of both factions in WoW, which is nothing to be ashamed about.
My recommendation is to try not to listen too much to those people who fanatically make an issue out of belonging to one side and are calling everyone with characters on both sides for traitors, because it is them and not you who are missing out on things!
If you find yourself having similar dilemma as Brunhild, consider this Blizzard's (semi)official stance on having toons in both the Horde and Alliance. Enjoy your adventures in WoW - just remember to take a break from the gaming scene once in a while.

..play your way. One of my biggest criticisms of some WoW guilds are they take the fun out of the game. It’s no longer about banding together to conquer the world, it becomes finite statistics and what build you must use for your character class and what role you must play. Screw big guild rules and have some fun.
Obviously if Blizzard didn’t want you playing a character on both realms on the same server it would be blocked like it is on PvP servers.
