Server:Silver Hand US

Silver Hand

Silver Hand is a Role Playing server. It is one of only a handful of roleplaying servers that have been online since release day, in November 2004, and at that time it was the only roleplaying server set to Pacific time. Hence, many of the server's first players lived on the U.S. west coast, and it attracted many players from Hawaii and Australia. That's less true now that the servers are no longer officially categorized by time zone (though Silver Hand game-time continues to be identical to Pacific Standard Time, adjusting for Daylight Savings).

Silver Hand, like all roleplaying servers, has a large faction imbalance favoring the Alliance, something which makes PvP queue times especially long for the Alliance and especially short for Horde.

"Famous" People

• Chull: Whiny and widely disliked warrior, this orc is a very skilled PvP combatant.

• Detton: Incredibly randy orc, plays "Doctor" with Alliance women.

• Frozz: Former leader of the former raid guild Afterlight and beloved "dwarven druid".

• Hennet: Infamous whiner. One of the names used by HAX in its many reformings was <GO AWAY HENNET>.

• Honorhoof: Controversial Tauren druid, who remained convinced that druids could do Feral DPS, as well as heal competitively in end game raiding.

• Jacefox/Jannice: Notorious griefer and forum troll.

• Kandiping: Notorious Horde-side farmer.

• Kretol: Staunch defender of the Horde, often found defending Razor Hill or The Crossroads, widely considered one of the most skilled Shamans in the Horde.

• Love: Priestress long suffering from awful puns with regard to her name. Hopeless fashion addict.

• Nobunaga: Made the World of Warcraft frontpage for showing up to Blizzcon in a costume of full Dreadmist. Mocked on Something Awful. Canadian multimillionaire. Also known for having an epic mount for every race, whether third-party assistance was used is unknown

• Raab: Famous for never attaining 60 and trolling the forums incessantly. It's rumored that he sold his account, which subsequently got banned. In reality, he had reached 60, but seeing as his character had been present since launch, it is a matter of constant discussion. While it is untrue that his account was sold, it was permanently suspended until the real owner could sufficiently show that the actions done on his account were not his doing.

• Sayuke/Zayuke: Former Grand Marshal (and Warlord), either loved or hated. Detractors claim she used less-than-honorable methods to gain her rank; her friends tend to support her rabidly.

• Somalin: Rabid World PvPer before the battlegrounds came out, and a staunch defender of the alliance.

• Theris: Paladin noted for his voracious love of PvP and his inutterable arrogance in-character.

• Zulgazarg: Controversial defender of Horde territories, some object to his methods or his mode of speech. He holds a weekly informative chat about the history of the world. He is known as a loremaster and is a leader of Silver Hand roleplaying.

• Zyzzyx: Nicknamed "Letters" or "Eyechart", a forum denizen and notoriously anti-elf (but pro elf-smooches).
