I played with a paladin character. When he fell in glorious battle, covering the retreat of his companions in the eastern plaguelands... I deleted the character and created a new death knight. Only one of my friends knew that this was going to happen. So when the character was nowhere to be found (as a friend or anything) they really felt like he died. The re-encounter, a month later (with partial absnesia included), was with crying and screaming. They scolded me in role and out of role XD. But it was worth it because it became part of the history of several of my friends. Stories of devastating loss and painful reunions with long lost companions.
@andreajofre5895 that is the BEST! Can imagine this SO well for some reason 😅. Do you guys still RP? I’m just returning for 1st legitimate time in over 10 years. Just switched some toons to the proper servers, so excited to contribute to this side of the world (of Warcraft).
A tip I can provide is if you’re on Moon Guard and looking to tap into some quality RP, look out for the character Elinore Hartwell. She is a very experienced civilian RPer who’s around Stormwind quite often and has connections to A LOT of genuinely nice people. Never a dull moment bar-crawling or relaxing at Lion’s Rest with like 4 other solid characters around
I've played my Gilnean Warrior since I started in Cata. I've honed his story of late to flow with the events of the Worgen attack on the city that the Worgen Starting zone follows, save for a few key differences that include him being found by the Night Elves and Crowley as they start to discover how to soothe the beast's rage. Since Crowley and Greymane's forces united he's been a stalwart guardian of the Alliance, embarking on several campaigns ICly throughout the game's expansions, though sometimes he's more in the faaar back as a few expansions I played out a new main for the expansion.
I've RP'd for years through website forums and gave WoW RP a shot. Having the character you physically control and move around is a bit awkward for me, but it kinda warms my heart seeing all these people enjoying it.
you prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me.
I've gained some beautiful memories Roleplaying in WoW, drama that at times would transfer to IRL drama (Can't really ever escape this fact) but also good times and events between guilds and other players. Though I remember a time where the cities in both Alliance and Horde (Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord respectively) where full of life and Roleplayers going at it in the streets, Inns, Cathedral, etc. Now a days its somewhat barren, but we as a community can change that some day maybe.
Thank you. Maybe I'll never be able to play on the same server as you, and we'll never meet because of the language barrier. But, your video was pretty damn informative and I liked it. I hope the role-playing community will grow. And the video on the role-playing game will be bigger and more interesting.
Its been awhile, but I think its the Tomb of Sargarus set, it might be the pvp variant, and I feel like that might be a brawlers guild tabard. Then just a shadow lands leveling sword.
Shaman do not need special training seen by kalterens (not sure if spell their name rights) see with quest unlock them as a race for alliance like we meet a Shaman with no training just can call on elements. (Same with Priest because Light power go to whoever believes in their goals)
Super dope vid! Sorta always been super garbo at RP, and have been on and off playing wow for a while so thought fuck it why not mix two things I wanna get more into so here I am! Thanks a bunch :D
Hey guys. I play ascension and I think with enough ppl they could make a rp server. Ascension is classless so you can litterally be Dark Ranger, Vampire, Pirate or a lumber jack. You could even choose to be "factionless".The team really did a good job and I think with more ppl they would make it better. You can even be a spartan with a spear and sword. Try it out !
You deserve way more subscribers my friend! Thanks for the guide. edit: only criticism would be to maybe increase the video quality a bit more, 720p looks too blurry nowdays.
Thank you man. Yeah I'm trying to figure that out, its happened to my last couple videos. I got a new pc and lost my export settings, and even though I'm exporting in 1080 60fps theyre not coming out good.
So if I roleplay as Dranei I should put on an Indian accent and if I roleplay as a Dwarf I do a Scottish one? Will i get in trouble for the Indian accent?
Not necessarily. And you definitely won't get in trouble for not. I would say a majority of role players land in the casual camp and are completely fine with characters Just talking like normal people. There are niche hardcore rp guilds that will expect you to do that. But there's an addon called "tongues" that lets you set what accent you want your character to have and will actually edit the text you type to better fit that accent. Super useful for dwarfs so you don't have to slow down typing all the extra apostrophes.
2:55 That disclaimer has become painfully inaccurate...I don't know if I can ever make a nelf or draenei warlock. The implications are still too ridiculous for me.
It really depends on the group that youre Roleplaying with I feel. The average walk up roleplay is very casual and more for fun, but there are guilds that deal with intricate noble house drama, wander theater groups, capital city guards, entire guilds that will only RP as the staff of certain establishments. I feel like it lacks alot of tools to really make things your own, such as guild/player housing which is big reason Im very attracted to ffxiv rp, but have struggled to find a solid group to stick with.
@@rikardlinden6800 eh, it depends how hardcore of an rp group you roll with I guess. Back when I used to rp, people generally just didn't like people using artifact weapons and some mythic armor sets. But with how flashy wow has gotten with its cosmetics I'm not sure if that's the case anymore.
@@yeenosaur2620 Not really true.. I've been on MG for 6 years and WrA for 3. I'd consider them about equal. Finding good groups only happens when you join a guild too.
I'd probably be a gnome mage (abilities flavored as gnomish devices) who survived the attack on Gnomeregan. The troggs and radiation drove him from his prized workshop and laboratory, so he is helping in any way he can to aid the Alliance and the gnomish race in the hope that he may one day reclaim what he has lost.
Thanks for this guide. No offense to anyone but wow lore is pretty lame and I regret rolling on a RP server in classic. Turns out it's not really my thing, since it feels like the community is a bit more immature than on other servers, but idk. This comment is not meant to sway anyone who want to starts RP though; try it out yourself first, maybe you'll like it
@@PrimarchRoboleonFrenchyman rp was very segregated to specific servers in vanilla so if you didn't roll on one of those you never saw it. it's the same with classic but there are even less rp servers available.
TBH as an experienced WoW role-player, it's pretty obvious that your not all that experienced in WoW roleplay. Not to say your completely inexperienced with RP, but some of your advice was just silly. on a RP server the vast majority of ppl are using TRP. The names people want are often taken along with every character map option. This is just one of example of something any experienced wow RPer would know. I've heard Alliance for Moonguard, and wyrmrest from horde, this isn't wrong, but the fact that you had to qualify it makes me think you don't really have a good gauge of RP servers either.
@@leinonibishop9480 I take on new RPers at least a couple of times a week on my guild. I'm more than happy to show new people the ropes, give them time to develop and grow on their own. However, if another guild member was acting as if they were an expert Rper and giving unsound advice to new Rpers, I would likely say something about it. Something of a false equivalency to to infer that I wouldn't be new Rper friendly because I commented that a person who is acting as if they were an authority on a topic seemed to have some obvious holes in their knowledge on subjects that are well known even to fairly new Rpers.
@@fathom117 you sound like you consider yourself the authority on how to RP 'the right way' and anyone that does it differently than you doesn't know what they are talking about. which is why i would avoid you at all costs.
@@leinonibishop9480 It sounds like you went pretty deep into the barrel with assumptions. There is no "right way" to RP besides the type of RP you enjoy. That doesn't mean new people often don't ask for advice. And when I don't know the answer, or am not well versed on the topic, I say so. Which is what I'm being critical of here. It's not productive or helpful to project what you perceive to be a "nightmare Rper" on people that disagree with you, and follow it up with dramatic hyperbolic comments like "I would avoid you at all costs." It's childish and unbecoming.

Always going for the simple folk RP. Farmer, lumberjack, merchant... Much more fun than roleplaying being a superhero

What is the best server for rp?
Eu argent dawn
Argent Dawn fucking sucks. That server died 10 years ago
How do you not have more subs
Can someone invite me to a RP group??
They are so hard to find
Thanks so much 🙂🙂🙂
Can anyone support (ore refute) his claim about about Alliance RP in Moonguard and Horde RP in Wrymrest? (Great video btw)
I can support his claim. Rp in moonguard is a heavy alliance server while Wyrmrest is a heavy horde server. At least for the moment.
Monnguards RP isn’t as high of quality but it does have more Alliance.
@@yeenosaur2620 Says who? RP isn't done by a single person, it's done by a group.
@@dalama1161 Ad most of the groups are usually not great at RP. The best RP I have ever had has been on WrA.
