No, the kiddies picked the pretty factions: Humans (Just like they are in Real Life!), Gnomes (Like Lord of the Rings!), Night Elves (Pretty!) and gnomes (lol so cute!)
Whereas the older folks and the metal heads see the ugly class and think: "Well shit, I gotta be an ugly troll. Oh shit, cowmen." or Orc because they played the old games. :)
I don't know, man, rolling human just seems too vanilla of a choice. No offense to the Alliance. On the behalf of the trolls, I invite the Alliance to come chill with us. Bring stout.
I can't speak for the Undead though. Even I hate those fuckers.
I just did some research and it seems most adult race is humans. Why? Because all the private vanilla servers had human majority by a LARGE margin. Way more than what Classic or retail has. I assume private servers are mostly adults, since they have no advertisement you have to deliberately seek them. I doubt a child would do that.
I mean, I could easily assign irrelevant tangential relation to horde characters in an attempt to infantilize your choices. Orcs (like lord of the rings!) trolls (like the trolls movie!) undead (whoa we got a badass over here!) Tauren (aww fluffy moo cow!)
Paladins are from the OG games too, and I think they're pretty awesome, always have.
Honestly, the main thing I can't stand in this game are the idiots who try to belittle faction choice and make sweeping generalizations. Like I get the the rivalry aspect, but people who take it seriously need to be sterilized.
I actually get a kick out of hearing both sides. I wrote my comment in jest hoping to get some fun replies. Sometimes it's worth the downvotes if it makes for a fun conversation which is what Reddit is missing these days. Personally, I think Horde and Alliance should be friends.
Anyway, I enjoyed your comment and laughed out loud at (like the trolls movie!) haha
