WoW's Horde And Alliance Divide Was Only Agreed On Less Than A Year Before Release
Former Blizzard veteran Jeff Kaplan revealed that the decision to divide World of Warcraft players into the Horde and Alliance factions was finalized only nine months to a year before the game's 2004 release. The controversial feature was strongly advocated for by Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham, despite initial arguments against it from Kaplan and Rob Pardo, who came from an Everquest background where such divisions were not present.
