As a result, Alliance players struggle in the battlegrounds game mode and face longer queue-times for raids, making it harder for them to get high-level gear. There is a big Horde and Alliance imbalance in WoW Classic that is also affecting retail WoW, with there being a lot more Horde players.

This new update should be another great addition for better raiding in WoW. Once players are in a cross-faction group, however, they can do everything they could normally do in a group, such as trade items, talk in party chat, and assist in combat. Cross-faction gameplay will only apply to instanced groups, so Horde and Alliance players who venture into an enemy zone will still have a red name and can be killed. The announcement of cross-faction gameplay is one of the biggest in WoW's history, but the update shouldn't make a big difference to the way players play the game, and should actually make playing the game a lot easier.

Instances that will now have cross-faction options will include dungeons, rated PvP, and raids. The cross-faction update will come in patch 9.2.5, near the end of the eighth main WoW expansion Shadowlands, after its Eternity's End patch. Now all possible chat filter types can be toggled for alerts - these are divided by categories in the configuration.Blizzard has said that the biggest reason to relax the divide between factions was to improve the experience of instanced gameplay. Changed to only listen for configured events, rather than all possible - listening is toggled on and off immediately. Added localization support - only English works at the moment. All have a 'Default' button to go back to the default colors. Font colors for Active, Inactive, and Alert tabs can be changed under the 'Color Picker' configuration section. New Miscellaneous option: 'Fade Inactive' - if toggled on (default), the names of inactive tabs will be somewhat faded. New Miscellaneous option: 'Hide Border' for tabs. New Miscellaneous option: 'Always Show' for tabs. The configuration panel now has three section tabs: 'Message Types', 'Color Picker', and 'Miscellaneous'. Tab flashing will no longer halt after 60 seconds - it will now continue until the tab is activated. When disabling 'Always Show', tabs which are currently flashing will no longer be hidden. The alert flash texture can now be disabled. Added support for setting the color of the alert flash texture. Added support for three alert flash textures - Default, Outline and Bold Outline. Added a default button to the tab options. Added option to toggle mouseover highlighting of tabs. Set the tab name color for un-docked frames to the active tab color. Don't lower the alpha level of flashing frames. Disallow un-docked frames from flashing. Added a fourth flash texture to choose from. Renamed AddOn from TabAlerts to ChatAlerts so people will actually know what it does. Added alert support for RealID whispers. Re-apply settings whenever the WoW client un-sets them (new and annoying behavior). Fixed Lua error due to an API name-change.

Hopefully fixed Guild Officer alerts (need feedback, as I haven't been an officer in some time.) Fixed regression introduced in the last version - tabs will flash again and the options menu will now work. Fixed errors which caused the options frame to not display. Un-docked chat frames will no longer be treated differently from those which are docked - they can flash if the channel(s) are set to flash, and all stylistic configurations will be obeyed. Added itIT localizations and updated ToC interface to 50001
