Silvermoon is sadly a shell of a city, it feels more like a village with the amount of players, Though, I am working on a realm event to bring some life back to the place though! Stay posted on the forums for updates!
Another point that’s been made to death. blood Elves are proud, if at times arrogant people, They should be played as individuals who have a very tragic past, hold great pride in their country and people as there are so few left.
A lot of them would be learned and knowledgeable of crafts, with great affinity for the arcane and well aware of where powerlust and greed can lead, as such I feel they’d be constantly keeping themselves in check, aware of their own shortcomings and where they need to adapt. They should in my opinion keep most people at arms length, being cordial and at times friendly, but this is mostly etiquette. Being long lived they’d also probably have fewer friends and be far less social than is portrayed in RP today, with a select cadre of associates and close friends, I doubt elves are social butterflies like many people play them as.
Also, people that play beggars and street kids are ridiculous to me, blood Elf society is highly regimented, everyone has a role, be it a botanist for food, magister for the arcane, farstrider, blood knight, et cetera, Layabouts would not really be tolerated, especially since Quel’thalas has been depicted in game as slightly authoritarian, with the Arcane golems repeating what is essentially propaganda and that NPC text in the Bazaar.
There is plenty more, but I’ll save you my ramblings
That’s funny as I recall belfs was looked down one or two years ago for exactly those reasons. Nobody liked them because they - at the time- portrayed that type of behavior… curious that one! I guess people in general don’t like belfs no matter how they behave
Personally I can’t speak for the last 1-2 years, I took a break from the game shortly before Legion released, which was a shame as I had preordered it
At the end of Warlords, Blood Elf RP was booming, as was Horde RP, Silvermoon actually felt alive, there’d be dozens of players and more than a few guilds around RPing with loads of stuff going on. I returned to a dead city and community, and I see the whole Guild-Centered RP to be a shame, I’ve been playing Alliance quite often since its less controlled by a small number of guilds with their own agenda. I can walk around and see hundreds of RPers about, whereas Silvermoon and Orgrimmar is far more quiet. Deserted really.
Horde RP was like a camp fire, it seems to have gotten smothered by a blanket of guilds stitched together. This isn’t purely a Belf problems, it affects the whole community.
It does indeed! But the whole guild centered RP is a whole different topic I suppose, yet closely related. I’m interested to see what you have in mind for your events! Let me know if you want help or feel like sharing, my guild have their base… surprise!! Falconwing square.
(Just send a in game letter)
Quite so, By the whole guild centred thing I don’t just mean a certain legion, I mean the whole community in general. But yes, not the bag of cats I want to kick right now I’ll definitely drop you a message, I think you’ll like it, want to get every blood elf guild on the server involved, Make Silvermoon a hub and show what it can be once more, But yes, at risk of revealing my hand to early, I’ll have to leave you in suspense. I’ll be doing an interest check on the forums in the next few days hopefully, just got to work some stuff out IRL and in-game. ^^
Isn´t there a drunk elf in front of inn in Murder Row who passed out from the wine? Or Lord Saltheril, who has bunch of elves who attend a party in his estate. Or, as was mentioned before, those two elves who went on a vacation to Dazar´alor.
Kinda feels like they all are layabouts.
Yes, I did consider him, But, out of all the NPCs that are blood elves, there are only a handful that are layabouts, and until we get a proper update (which will never happen) to Que;'thalas ingame, we can only speculate, for the most part, everything in this thread is fan theory about belf lore and how -we- personally think things should be, not the writers. As for Saltheril’s Haven part, I refer to this-
Seems WoW and IRL have quite a few things in common!
I mean Luci was a Royal Guard at the Spire… He’s just missing the mage part… Or I could spend a few hundred years on a mobility battle scooter… Hmm… I like that idea. Broom Broom!
Yeah, but I think there´s huge difference between “rich can afford to do nothing” and “Quel´Thalas is like Soviet Union, where you aren´t allowed to be unemployed”.
I agree with that point, however, with such a dwindling population, I do not think a society would survive if there were a great number of them. there’d need to be efficient management of manpower.
