When I first played at WoW's launch, I leveled a Tauren hunter to 48. WoW wasn't as appealing to me back then, so I didn't really start playing serously until WotLK. However, due to my obsession with achievements, I have love since passed the limit of quest for the 3000 quest achievement and the Loremaster achievement. So, I know almost everything about lore brought through Alliance quest, but not much about horde ones since I only did a few quest back in the day, and was doing them from a leveling standpoint rather then a info one.

I think it'd be neat to see things from the Alliance side, but... c'mon, Tauren.

Tauren are by far my favorite playable race in both looks and background. The Horde's bestial races just look cooler, and although I play a human, I'd prefer another race (but it'd be hard to ween off the human's excellent racials.)

Really, as proven by the Battle for the Undercity, a lot of the evil is being plotted by the Apothecaries without Sylvannas' knowledge. Blood Elves... I can honestly see both sides. Keep in mind, though, that they don't all feed off of demonic powers. Most of them drain energy from mana wyrms, which are the equivalent of pests. I agree with them drawing power from the captive Naaru, but lore-wise he's gone, and it's been said that many of the Blood Knights have started using the powers of the Light legitimately. The only Alliance race I really DISLIKE is the humans. I like the Night Elves a lot, and the Draenei really tempt me sometimes (I actually fooled around making a female Draenei Shaman this morning), but since I like all of the Horde races, I think they're more my thing unless for some reason I wind up playing with people who are strictly Alliance.

Most Orcs, Trolls and Tauren are for the most part normal. However, I don't believe that The Forsaken or Blood Elves aren't particularly as neutral as the rest. The Forsaken, while tragic in creation, have the same basic goal as the Lich King - wipe out the living. Really, they are no better then him. As far as I am concerned, Blood Elves also pretty bad. They are glorified drug addicts who are willing to do anything, including feeding off demonic powers, to feed their addiction. The creation of Blood Elf Paladins is the worst, as they basically took a being of ultimate good and siphoned it's powers until it was drained into a shadow being. Overall, no race is good or evil exclusively, it's all based on the individual in charge. However, the races of the Alliance are still the more honorable in recent times in my opinion. Well, except for the Tauren, they are perhaps the most honorable of the races. Most of the horde, not so bad. Most Orcs, Trolls and Tauren are for the most part normal.

Sometimes doing bad stuff in games is just funny, but other times it doesn't quite feel right. For instance, I really like animals, and I can never bring myself to eat Crunchy Chicks in Fable... They're so cute! On another note, I recently got the WoW trial version and it's pretty fun. True to form, I play a Night Elf Druid. I haven't read any of the lore but now it really does seem like the humans are the bad guys. It’s strange, I always play the good guys too.

Playing a hero was impossible because in many cases, everyone else wanted to be the hero, and no-one wanted to be the villain. Win some, then lose some, and things went along great. And it was all the more enjoyable to defeat said villain if they were worth kicking the crap out of. ;) Back when I used to roleplay in various places, one of my favorite joys was playing villains.

I didn't like purposely being an ass to people at first, but after a while it got funny. Renegade Shepard has awesome lines that paragon Shepard can never bring him/herself to say.
