only accessible to Horde players! World of Midnight Developer Paneldistricts exclusive to Horde players

Because it's a hub city, there's a small section of Silvermoon that's been set aside as a sanctuary area where Horde and Alliance share that space, but the majority of the city is Horde, and Alliance is kill-on-sight as you'd expect.

Comment by ApollomantisHopefully it will work like legion dalaran did where you just had a couple small areas that were horse and alliance only. While the majority of the city was neutral.Comment by SmDshkaSounds good enough.Comment by HipToBeScaredI thought the factions got along now? I mean, they can now play the game with each other. Makes zero sense for this.Comment by HighvalorLook, I understand that this decision was made to try and stay faithful to the Blood Elves. But I cannot help but feel that this came at the expense of the Void Elves and alliance players who have desperately wanted access to Silvermoon for almost 20 years now. Despite being a Horde city, Silvermoon is the ancestral home of the high elves, void elves, and even blood elves which have defected to the alliance, as you can see in Telogrus Rift. Between the Void elves, high elves, and defected blood elves, there are thousands of Thalassian elves in the Alliance, and this should feel like a homecoming for them too. But it does not. It feels very exclusionary towards the Alliance. Especially when the Alliance has been gracious enough to allow the Horde into Alliance cities like Bel’Ameth and Gilneas City.Comment by VaikCan't wait for someone on Reddit construes this to be an example of Alliance bias somehow.Comment by ZorridGood, about time Horde didn't get something stolen from it.Comment by yamix00Hopefully it will work like legion dalaran did where you just had a couple small areas that were horse and alliance only.

But it does not.Comment by TheBasurerusA tiny part for Alliance only? Kill on sight? Jesus, that seems extremely painful and inconvenient considering it is literally the HUB of the expansionComment by SheritzKinda weird, factions are supposed to get along now, are they not? Killing heroes who will actively help Silvermoon is oddComment by DrDoomguyLook, I understand that this decision was made to try and stay faithful to the Blood Elves.

LmaoComment by Venovenome when I can't just walk around in one of the enemy faction's capitols lol
same people who didn't complain about tww being alliance centered will now complain this expansion will be horde centered just because of the hub in S1Comment by ShinxirI thought the factions got along now?

LmaoComment by FallenReignGOOD! It's a HORDE CITY, you want access to all of it? Play Horde. Cope and seethe, Alliance.Comment by DerpyChinchillaHopefully it will work like legion dalaran did where you just had a couple small areas that were horse and alliance only. While the majority of the city was neutral.Comment by PantrellWhy would I expect to be killed on sight? We have an armistice? Totally fair we can't just run around a Horde capital city, but surely we can get kicked out, like when we go to the wrong faction area of Dalaran, rather than just be immediately executed?Comment by darthmogrinwow has content about horde which is not obut one of their leader getting killed, or going villain mode?
Pretty sure its biased against alliance
