“Alright, after getting to level 20 on my rogue, I created a huge list of characters on Bleeding Hollow (Ally) and Warsong (Horde). (...)Then I started to go on Warsong more, and I discovered that it is one of THE WORST servers ever. About 80% of its population is Brazilian, which, usually, I'd have nothing wrong with (although I hate their waxes...). But none of them speak English. At all. Trade chat is all in Portuguese, and Barrens chat is.....well, filled with more Brazilians. I want to stab myself brutally in the eyes for creating a character there.”
“Yeah Warsong is pretty horrible now, it used to be a really good server a long time ago.”
