I tried it this evening, and got a "that target is unfriendly" message. Bliz must have hotfixed it this morning. Oh well. Actually, it’s unconfirmed again.

I made an alliance toon and met up with my horde friend in Booty Bay. Once we were both zombified, we were able to talk (via /say) and trade freely. I moved over about 40 alliance vanity pets, and I'm going back for more. And recipes! The zombie thing is confirmed. I made an alliance toon and met up with my horde friend in Booty Bay.

I suppose you could post a message in the forums, but that would be chancy. On an interesting side note, I heard a rumor (but haven't been able to confirm) that during the zombie invasion going on currently, zombies of different factions can talk with each other and can trade with each other. If this is true, players could bypass the neutral AH completely. That would be really nice, I've had more then one auction hijacked by somebody who realized what was up and bought the stuff I had listed for 1c before I could grab it on my other account.

You'd create a bank alt on Alliance, maybe two so you can run one down to Booty Bay or Ratchet. Transfer a few gold from your Horde main to your Alliance alt, and use the Alliance character to wander around Stormwind.

We can't exactly meander the streets unmolested or anything. You do get flagged the instant you walk in the town. And, even if you could get into Stormwind without problems, waiting around for Lil Timmy would not likely happen. And even then, I don't think Timmy talks to Hordies. Smart boy. Neutral AH is the only place we can get the white kitty. How would being on a PvE server help a Hordie wander around Stormwind? We can’t exactly meander the streets unmolested or anything.

I am not very big on vanity items or mounts, but lately I have been spending some gold to get them done. Like spending up to 10g on white vendor items since I'm too lazy to fly around everywhere. The 50 mount achievement requires you to dump a good amount of gold by purchasing all those mounts. I personally couldn't care less about most achievements, but rather some of the more rare and hard to get ones. I've been working on the fishing/cooking titles, rare since most people couldn't care less about these things, let alone the achievement for them. As a side note, I've made some good money with these professions, its a small market and people would rather pay someone else to do it. Oh ya, achievements are like a hidden gold sink.
