What I find the most annoying and obtrusive, are those “epic pranksters” who would mount their biggest mount and follow you around and be as annoying as possible.
They should add some sort of extended ignore on RP realms only, that when you put a player on the list, they would become invisible for you.
Or maybe go along the mute you get when being reported for whatever by multiple people - if you get reported for acting against the RP rules, you turn invisible towards others. Exceptions for PvP situations, party, yaddy yadda…
Point is - being invisible is the worst punishment for those individuals.
AD is a good server imo, don’t matter whether you actually RP or not.
AD Goldshire Inn mostly consists of gold farmers. Yes, gold farmers.
Let me explain.
There are a few super rich players who run Goldshire guilds and groom female players around the inn to join their guild with the promise that they’ll make like 100k-150k gold a week, with a twist of course. That promise usually doesn’t come to light, but they definitely make large sums of gold for immersing into it. They’re monitored often and told to dance naked on the tables pretty much all day, or they’ll get payed per hour for it, and “ERP” (they are usually bad at Roleplay) with clients who are willing to pay, of course.
The gold that they make sometimes funnels back to the GM, but I don’t know the full details because I’ve never stooped low enough to partake in it, but I’ve been aware of these “ERP guilds” for a year or more and even spoken to individual and ex-members of such guilds, out of curiosity. All of them explain a similar experience, and the funny thing is, most, if not all of them are guys on female characters only doing it for gold, hence why I called them gold farmers.
The rest of Goldshire consists of PvPers dueling, lollers/trolls, bored players waiting for dungeon/raids or legit erotic roleplayers. I’ve been on AD for almost 9 years now so I think I know a fair bit about the ins and outs of Goldshire.
That being said, everywhere else is usually much more “normal.” Stormwind City, Silvermoon City, Orgrimmar City, etc. They’re usually just your every day RPers minding their own business and RPing.
Being srs though, I don’t tend to bother RPers other than to place a DISCO in front of them but I do something sit in the entrance to places on a massive mount when bored.
Well I hate to promote them or their activity but the economy is already screwed up, you may as well take advantage and get some gold off of them. Make a female character and go for it. Although you may need to set up a TRP3 profile with basic info and such first for you to even get noticed by one of them, I don’t know exactly how you get initiated, but I do recall my own female character being asked to join their guild a few times. Their guild usually changes names though or gets remade to avoid gaining too much attention or whatever.
I did transfer because of the community, and did decide to give RP a shot. It’s not really my thing, but the realm itself is great. It’s alive, vibrant and people actually talk with each other, whether it is IC or OOC. Yeah there are of course a few rotten apples here and there, but if you are just there for the community and not for the RP scenario, you’ll hardly notice them. And this goes for both factions.
I also transfered to AD simply because the community is amazing. On my first day there was a memorial or something like that in the old town-trainingsground and it was just effing amazing how +30 Stormwind Soldier RPs marched in a parade.
Besides of that, Stormwind really feels like a real city with people strolling instead of running or simply having conversations in their native inGame language. The server is perfect for people who feel trapped with no real communication inGame and want to see another side of the game.
Agree. Do we have a dwarven social group or something where one can join?
I’ll never understand people doing rp in games… whats the point of it?
A while ago i ended up joining a dungeon group and 2 of them started doing rp in dungeons, we laughed at them and kicked them out of the grp.
Theres a couple of Dwarven guilds around but the problem is that everyone is in Stormwind so all the Dwarves go to Stormwind therefore all the Dwarf guilds have to go to Stormwind.
Its a snowball effect really and is really hard to get the ball rolling for people to come to Ironforge.
Anyway if you’re looking gor a Dwarf guild I would reccomend The Three Hammers.
