Something with the Kaldorei refugees.

Well there is an event planned for it… Stormwind Community Events - 29th of June

The Discord link is expired, btw. Otherwise I’d 110% join that.

Get this sorted shortly.

Sounds like an interesting initiative! In continutation of Dorlas’ post, how does the aristocracy of Stormwind (and the greater kingdom) fit into the pentagonal framework of this project, or can guilds/groups operate independently of the factions and still be involved in the overall narrative?

Absolutely - feel free to reach out to me to discuss how you/your guild might fit in.

Or even have some sort of storyline where there’s sickness spreading amongst the refugees. Because that’s a big risk, knowing from irl.

Afraid that I don’t think that’s feasible unless people try to pretend Druids, Shamans, Priests and Paladin skills that remove diseases and curses are not canon and totally hard to perform.

@Linrick-argent-dawn

if you actually care about roleplay instead of really dull and overplayed forum grudges, you’d see this as a good initiative

i honestly don’t care if people are ‘’‘mean’’’ on the forums if they’re producing good roleplay - which is what the server’s for

i’d be more sympathetic to the anti-pcu people if they produced even half as many quality initiatives as the pcu does, but they don’t

I find this confusing. On one hand people say if you make an ‘rectum’ out of yourself on the forums (Not you in particular, you as in anyone) then people will not want to RP with you.
But now people say (in this case you say) that even if you are a ‘rectum’
on the forums, if you RP well, you get a free pass?
MFW the word “a” + “ss” is not allowed.

The sickness is of magical nature and on top of trying to quarantine it and searching for a cure, people would have to find out who is responsible for it.
And done, disease can now happen in RP.

[Vilesun-argent-dawn (Vilesun)]

Much better now and more interesting too.

[Dorlas-magtheridon (Dorlas)]

Everything is better with magic.

[Kêlly-argent-dawn]

I mean it’s just a suggestion. Could circumvent it somehow- too many refugees, too few healers stretched thin. We have medicine IRL but ppl still get f*cked. Or it could be a pro-active measure, like you said, preventing it from happening.

[Wikkin-argent-dawn (Wikkin)]

I like it! As someone else also stated further above; you have my (ineffectual) support and assistance. Breathing some life into Stormwind is a welcome endeavour

Best of luck!

I mean, there are only so many healers available (as many will likely be on the front lines, what with there being a war on) who cannot wave their magic indefinitely, all the while you have patients (particularly those who aren’t presenting symptoms) breaking quarantine, or generally doing something dumb to completely scupper the healers’ efforts.

And even then those efforts may be meaningless if there is some unknown source of the disease. It could be rats, but even with magic at your disposal controlling an entire city’s worth of rats still seems like an enormous logistical effort.

So big disagree.

But magic sickness works too…

The Stormwind City Watch had a specific system for blacklisting roleplayers who didn’t behave in a way that was appropriate (the “3:15” law)

What a blast from the past that is. I don’t remember ever using it on people that weren’t lollers, but I was just a lowly constable. So many 3:15 trolls…

I really like giving people a chance, even if their grammar is horrid and they lack an RP profile addon, and they approach me in the middle of /ra bubble rp, I’ll still try to entertain them when I can, but even for someone like me, the 3:15 thing was justified in a lot of cases, some people having come by to obviously troll, others just walking in on some god character and god emoting everyone in the office dead, or other times it’d be a dwarf and his pet just dancing on our table randomly. Unfortunately people took rumours of that law and ran with it, and it kinda hurt the SWCW rep a bit, as I recall.

Idk if it was a good idea or not to give lollers an inRP designation in hindsight, it created a couple of problems but fixed a few others. I don’t think I would have gotten rid of it if it had been up for a vote, it really helped immersion.

and players scarcely even agreeing on how much bread ‘a gold’ will buy)

This has always been the #1 killer of trade RP. We just don’t know.

My solution has always been to have a general idea of character wealth. If I play a character that is middle class, then they can afford a loaf of bread, regardless of the amount of money that is asked for it. If it’s worth a copper or a gold from merchant to merchant, my character will always be able to afford it in the same way that I can always easily afford a loaf of bread IRL. This kind of circumvents the issue but has a whole host of problems itself if you try to apply it beyond your own personal RP.

Wealth is a very obscure thing, in the Garrosh novel the goblin accountants sussed out that Silvermoon was 6000 gold in debt. Implied to be a large amount. Personally, I tend to headcanon that copper is the most common currency used for trading in day-to-day good. Silvers are obviously for exotic/hard to acquire items and gold is really up there.

It’s a whiffy thing for sure, I just always make vague emotes/speeches with it as far as roleplay is concerned e.g:

“Will this be enough?”

/e holds out a palm full of coins.

There’s also that quest/book item which shows how much it costs Stormwind to train a professional miner and purchase his equipment; though for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s called.

I, personally, think it’s something best off left vague and trying to put an objective value on currency is nigh impossible never mind trying to find a consensus for it.

[Dudflex-argent-dawn (Dudflex)]

I’ve always treated it as:
1 copper = 1 pence
1 silver = 1 pound
1 gold = 100 pounds.

its just seems the best way to convert it to a modern standard.
Granted , we aren’t in a modern time period, so for some, silver is the most they’ll see.

Probably works fine for UK residents. For the rest of us mainlanders though… I tend to go with Aerilen’s approach of vaguely defined amounts myself and it has worked out this far.

Perroy and his usual goons

I like to think of myself as one of the greatest role players this server has ever seen and not as a goon, if I back something up it’s good =)

1 copper = 1 cent
1 silver = 1 euro
1 gold = 100 euros

[Tehya-wildhammer]

Yeah but 1 euro =/= 1 pound
