Horde and Alliance players are enemies in World of Warcraft, but soon they will be able to join the same party. Since the game was released in 2004, players have only been able to party upwardly with players from their specific faction. These parties are used to run through dungeons, raids, and PvP areas. Later on eighteen years, players can create a party full of characters from either group.

Players will be able to invite members of the opposing faction to a party in numerous ways. If they accept a BattleTag or Real ID friendship or if the members are part of a cross-faction WoW Community. Premade groups volition also be available in the Group Finder listings for Mythic dungeons, raids, or rated arena/RBGs.

There is a catch, however. While parties tin be formed exterior of dungeons and raids, members will remain unfriendly to each other while in the main world. That means they tin can attack ane another but communicate through the political party conversation while doing so.

In one case the party enters a dungeon, raid, or rated PvP match, everyone volition become friendly towards each other. Party members can help in combat, trade boodle, earn shared achievements, and cooperate as they would if they were a role of the same faction.

The development squad aimed to have the new mechanic prepare in time for the Eternity's End update; nevertheless, that won't be the case. Instead, they plan to exam and release it as role of the 9.2.five update.
