Hehe, from what Tal's said here and in other posts, I get the impression that we're complete opposites when it comes to choosing our races. I love the bad posture, grunginess and truck-stop waitress voices of the horde. At the end of the day I prefer generic rage to complete discomfort. That being said, a new horde race and starting area might get me leveling that mage at last. (I've been meaning to level a mage for about seven months now.) :blush:
As for the PvP thing, there are enough discrepancies between article alrin posted and the ige one fractaled linked. In the first it sounded like Hellfire Peninsula was going to be a regular contested zone with regular quests, except it would flag you on the PvE server. In the ige article, it was refered to as a battleground. If it's a battleground ala alterac valley then there's no problem, if it's a "regular" zone the blizzard will have to be quite careful. The appeal of the pve server for a lot of people is the ability to choose when and if you engage in pvp. If they take that away, I can see quite a few people being a little cross. :D
(One idea I had for bringing the feeling of conflict to regular zones on a pve server was to introduce contested quest resorces that would flag you when you went to collect them. I think that would introcuce the feeling of alliance/horde tensions without taking away a player's ability to choose whether or not to flag for pvp.)

I hate flags
