I know wery well it's the place with most flight connections, and it
doesn't matter where you are at Kalimdor, it's only 1-2 flights away,
and that's why people often keeps their home inn there till past lvl 50.

Not only that, there are way fewer quests to do in Silverpine, and
they're only for getting reputation with Undercity, while at XR/Barrens
we can get reputation with all the Horde factions. So Silverpine isn't
the place to quest, if we want to get lower prices fast.

This is one of the main reasons, I believe. None of the Alliance low lvl
areas are so easy to get to for Horde players.

Well, since Stormwind and Ironforge are a bit harder to raid than
Orgrimmer and Undercity, it's not that big a surprise. However, at my
main server with a ratio of 1:1.2 in the Horde favor, those raids are
not uncommon and they often succede. On the other hand does the Alliance
raids on Orgrimmer normally fail, and if they attempts to raid XR,
they're faced with at least twice the number within 10 minutes.
- The battle is instead going on in Hillsbrad Foothills, and for the
lower lvl there are often smaller raids in Ashenvale Forest (think
Astranaar and Splintertree Post are equally attacked).
