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.
