Curious question.

I was sitting here thinking about how the changes would affect me. And it occured to me, though I have the most 80's on Alliance, and of the 6 years I have played, about 4 of them have been as Alliance.
I found myself thinking of the changes from a horde perspective.
Do you consider yourself Horde or Alliance and what do you play now? On the outside I always thought of myself as Alliance...but I think, deep down, I am Horde. I started the game as Horde, changed to alliance.

Up to and until WOW, every single MMO or RPG I had ever played had one playing from the "good guys" perspective (And I have been playing RPG's sice they were text based)...IE the humans, Dwarves, Elves etc...sure some games deviated from this, such as the multi-factions in SC, and of course the original Warcraft games..but all in all the majority placed the player on the "good"(Humans and allies) side vs "evil"(orcs, trolls, etc).
It is for this very reason that I chose to play as Horde...
I play on one server, I play Horde, and I have zero alliance toons.

I can see this perspective, but when you think of the changes are you thinking of them from a standpoint of Org is gonna be a mess or SW could use a good earthquake, what is the barrens gonna be like, how will this affect quest hubs in Westfall, etc etc.

In that context I think of SW and IF because 90% of my time in WoW has been Alliance. I took a few breaks and raided on a couple of my horde chars but I always come back to my original, Alliance, guild.

I really only play Horde characters. All on a single PvP server. I can't identify at all with the Alliance nor bother to care about anything that affects them. I actually dislike them in general at this point.
Just the way it turned out really as I never set out with a faction preference.
Full disclosure: I technically have a few alliance all under level 18 (and one DK level 60) that I might log in once every year or two if my server is down at the wrong time.

I love Orcs, I love Taurens.
I love Gnomes, I love Dwarfs.
The rest does not matter. I play for the races, how they move, how they look.
I have characters on both sides.
However, as I've said before, our guild started on Alliance side because we had a guildmate who really wanted to play a Paladin. (Yup, I play for my friends. And yup, we were the "bad guys".) We also rolled Horde on a 2nd server back when you could not have characters on opposing faction on the same server.
Since then, we've rolled more Horde on our "Alliance" server.
So, if you put a gun to my head and said: "choose!", I'd say "Alliance" from playing there so long. But the dirty secret is we have 2x Horde toons.

Recently went Horde and all, but really curious about what happened to the Alliance side. 5+ years spent in Stormwind counts for a lot in my book, hehe.

I play and consider myself part of the "monster" races, whichever those happen to be on any game. In DAoC, I was midgard. In WoW, I'm horde. Playing the "bad guys" is always more fun in games, IMO. "Good guys" are boring and predictable, especially the totally misunderstood, angry and injustly put-upon Son of the Light.

horde at heart... but nothing is better than my gnome
Started horde first. quit.
Came back and played alliance up until BC and got into PVP. Alliance were terrible at PVP and I got sick of it. I LOVED my gnome warlock that I played with my brother and his gnome warlock. To this day those gnome warlocks will always hold a place in my heart. HOWEVER we re-rolled back to horde and made undead warlocks and made a new home with the horde again.
We got really bored near the end of this season on our mains (we were sitting on our arena score) so we played those guys again in arena and had a blast.

I've always seen myself as Alliance but I tend to play the Horde in beta and on the PTR to experience the other faction. Not really sure why. I wanted to be roll an Undead Rogue for release, but all my friends were going Alliance.

Started on day 1 of release as Alliance because the Guild I was in chose that faction. After my first break, I switched to Horde and never looked back. I just like the grittier feel of the Horde. I might try a Worgen Druid at Cat just for something completely new. I put many hours into gearing my Horde DK, Shammy, and Priest and would not mind some new scenery.

I have leveled up several different alliance toons to the level cap across a few different accounts, whether it was during early vanilla or WotLK. Highest I ever got any horde toon was about level 28.
I definitely consider myself Alliance, and I really do not consider how changes affect the Horde.

I've played both but mostly alliance, main gaming partner in crime wanted alliance, tho we did some horde and I like both, but guess the answer would be I am alliance for the most part.
I'm not one of those that think horde sucks, they are very cool, their towns are very cool, I did have a hard time with the male hunchback models, I find them awful (tho handy in PvP against them).
