I have to agree with Luvian that the Horde, once you are running around seem like the good guys compared to the alliance. They are definitely more "tribal" and "savage", but I see the difference as more a Advanced Civilization v.s. Barbarian theme. Tauren live in tribal conditions close to nature, orcs build crude cities and forts and have a strong honor system (thus fitting the "barbarian" stereotype perfectly), and trolls were jungle savages until they lost their lands and were forced to live with the orcs. The only exception is the undead; some of their goals would be considered evil (i.e. making a plague), but they are doing it because they are beset by enemies on 2 sides (the Scourge on one side and the humans who want their land back on the other). I always get the impression Kevin Costner did in Dances With Wolves; I started out with a "human" viewpoint, and played Horde just to play something different, and now that I've played that side I really do view them as more of the good guys, while the humans (especially) end up coming off looking like the bad guys. Just my 2 cents.
