Blizzard have announced that World of Warcraft has been updated to 9.2.5, which doesn’t sound all that exciting on its own, but the update allows players from either the Horde of the Alliance to team up.

Specifically, the update introduces limited cross-faction gameplay where players are now able to directly invite members of the opposite faction to a party if they are Battle.net or Real ID friends, or if they are members of a cross-faction WoW Community.

Players will have the ability to find Premade Groups in the Group Finder for dungeons (Normal, Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+), raids, rated arena/RBGs, and also Torghast. However, the group leader may restrict the listing to same-faction applicants if they choose.

Once in a party, members of the opposite faction will remain unfriendly while outside of instances, though they will be able to communicate through party and raid chat, as well as use /say and /yell within proximity of one another.

Additionally, 9.2.5 also brings with it some additional content and quality of life updates, including:

• New Customization Quests – Blood Elf and Dark Iron Dwarves can complete a new questline that rewards a new mount and weapon appearances.

• New Achievements – Players who have been hard at work unlocking all covenant achievements will now see those achievements completed across all their characters.

• Quality of Life Changes – Increases to Renown earning and catch-ups, character class tuning, increased Grateful Offerings and more.

Does this update make you want to jump back in? Or are you content to stick with your faction, let us know in the comments.
