World of Warcraft cross-faction raiding is on Blizzard’s radar

World of Warcraft‘s upcoming 9.1.5 patch is adding a lot of features that the community has long asked for, like more cosmetic options and the removal of the conduit energy system. However, it is not adding cross-faction raiding. According to the MMO’s director,  Ion Hazzikostas, that feature may yet be on the way.

“I’d say that is a bit more on the radar, yes,” Hazzikostas told GamesBeat in a recent interview. “That’s one of those areas where [we have] a lot of things to solve, and a lot of things to figure out to make it happen. But at the end of the day, if Jaina and Thrall are working alongside each other in the raid, why can’t Alliance and Horde players also work alongside each other in that raid? Especially when we know it’s going to solve a lot of the social problems people are grappling with? Particularly trying to keep a high-end Alliance guild together in North America or a Horde one in Oceania.”
