'World of Warcraft' will finally let Alliance and Horde players raid together
cross-faction dungeon crawls, raids and rated PvP matches. You won't be cut off from your friends just because they chose the 'wrong' allegiance for their characters.
You'll have the option to both directly invite people from an opposing faction or join premade groups in the Group Finder listings for a given event type. Group leaders can limit instances to same-faction players, however. And don't expect to be living in harmony with rivals outside of these controlled circumstances. Guilds, matchmaking-based events and the regular world will behave as usual, so you'll still need to be on your guard most of the time.
The feature is available regardless of level, although there will be a few old instances where multi-faction parties can't enter, such as Battle of Dazar’alor, Trial of the Crusader and Icecrown Citadel. They'll need to be"reworked" to eliminate single-faction elements, Blizzard said. There's no release date for the 9.2.5 update at this stage. It's a long-requested update, and it's well-timed in a post-environment where the Alliance and Horde have reached a delicate truce. Whether or not it boosts player counts is another story.
