Horde or Alliance?

Horde or Alliance?
If you had the chance to pick the Horde or the Alliance, without friends or guilds swaying you, which would you choose? I've played Horde for a few years and I could use a change of scenery. The Horde seem to have a lot more territory to sneak around in on a PVP server which would make those areas come to life. But I do like Org and UC as lot.

PVP or PVE?
Having played on a PVE server for years I find it to lack a certain amount of spice. Looking over my shoulder and wonder if I'm going to get ganked/attacked certainly adds spice to exploring and questing. I still have very fond memories of doing a warlock quest on the Alliance side, having to sneak, for the first time, into the Barrens. Very exciting to say the least!

Going to Ratchet as an Alliance doesn't mean anything on PVE. But going in as PVP is very dangerous and I've been lucky to get out without being killed half a dozen times.


What Server and Population?
I'm from California and want at least a Pacific server so I can interact with more players. Population-wise Medium is better than full because of long waiting times. Balance between Horde and Alliance is important I think. If I'm an Alliance who has the majority population do the Horde gank a lot more or is it safer in that respect? Would there be a reason to be in the Horde outnumbered 3:1 by the Alliance?

Gender?
I've always had female players because their nicer to look at. Although when I start my five "man" group of dwarves the paladin will be a dude because male dwarves are cool. The backup shaman will be lady dwarves.

Race?
The starting area influences me most on this. But how the femail players look comes up second.

I just transferred to Kil'Jaeden(its PST) to run with more active boxers, so far it's been pretty awesome. It's high pop but I haven't seen any ques yet.

I've played horde on 3 servers and alliance on two. My experience has been that trade and zone chats on alliance have had a much higher "Anal [Skullflame Shield]" quotient than horde. I do miss the overpopulated alliance faction's AH, though. Having access to cheap items and mats 24/7 is quite handy.

i like being against the most populated side, gives me more to kill

Also on Kil'Jaeden Alliance, it is a good server with the most active BG i think.

good place to be for a multiboxer, since theres a bunch of us here already.

look up anyone in Legion of Boom while you are on and say Hi =)

Two recommendations for Kil'Jaeden! WOW! Definitely my first choice when I start up again.

Ya but questing could be almost impossible if the other side is everywhere. And it seems everyone had a care bear friend with them in their 70's.

Course I do enjoy killing off who the carebears are protecting before they get me, over and over.

Ya Alliance is where new players often start, like maybe 20% more. But I like the idea of freaking out the new people with my group. Plus I don't need PUGs till doing 10 or more man raids which will have more mature players at those levels.

Well your server fits what I'm looking for. Seems to have about 10,000 players favoring the Alliance slightly. So no waits I assume? The name is hard for a lot of people I'm sure. At this point I would go to this server but I'm not starting up again till
December 09.

well alliance seem to have a lot younger amount of players more anal this and that
horde--- they all think they are the best for unknown reasons, every single raid for pve has "pst stats+achieve or u /ignore you" i dont mind because i dont pve much, and I got the achieves, but my friend /quit wow because he doesnt have the achieve for uludar so no one will let him go... o and gearscore lol but multiboxers dont have this prob much as they can get nice gear from heroic badges
