Cross Faction Instanced Gameplay
In Patch 9.2.5, Blizzard is implemention the first iteration of cross-faction gameplay, allowing players to play with friends of the opposite faction. Below we have a summary of the currently known limitations of cross-faction gameplay:
Guilds will remain single-faction. Random matchmade activities, will also remain same faction.
All raids, dungeons and rated PvP will be cross faction, barring some exception raids with faction specific components (e.g. Battle of Dazar’alor, Icecrown Citadel).
Group Finder will be cross-faction, however the group leader may choose to restrict to same faction if they wish.
You can directly invite members of the opposite faction to a party with BattleTag or if you’re part of a cross-faction WoW community.
