User:Thio/Horde-Alliance

=The Horde-Alliance Treaty= Founded in the wake of Yogg-Saron's threat, the Horde and Alliance have once again banded together to face a common evil. Players may choose to negotiate with the opposing faction but in doing so forgo organized PvP. Equivalent rewards may be gained through this system, and your alliance may be betrayed at any time. Retribution will be swift, however, and you may soon find yourself targeted by more people than you think..

The Horde-Alliance Unification was introduced in Patch 3.2 and was considered by many players to be an object of great controversy. Patch 3.2.4 introduced a great improvement in the rewards gained through this system, making it equivalent to PvP rewards of various tiers.

Starting Out
The first thing you must do to enable interaction with ambassadors is open your Reputation Pane and enable cross-faction interaction. This will cause all the factions (not just capital cities) of the opposing side to display.

You must then go to Orgrimmar or Stormwind and speak with a representative of whichever faction you wish to gain reputation with first. This is a fairly permanent decision, though it only impacts the order in which you raise reputations, not how fast. Ideally, the system will eventually allow you to fully act as a member of both the Horde and the Alliance; however, this requires a large amount of effort and will be obtained by very few.

Stormwind
Horde players aspiring to reconcile with Stormwind should enter the Valley of Wisdom in Orgrimmar and speak with Ortimene Lightquill. He will offer a series of quests to raise your reputation with Stormwind from Hated to Unfriendly and allow you to speak Low Common.
