people say this, but I find it consistently empty, same with Razor Hill
Could just be I was lucky in truth I aint been there much, but I flew over randomally one time when doing mog runs on my Orc warr, spotted a bunch of rpâers engaged abit, went n made a criminal alt to follow up on the random convo generated âleadâ I created n had fun for a few hours that night, could just be right time right place.
Admittingly I mostly do a rounds of hubs to find something to entertain my self with in the later part of the evening, well after event hours so it could be a contributing factor, even though Alliance hubs like stormwind and Duskwood certainly seems to have RP nearly 24/7
I think Horde is less hub based n more wherever the war/capaigns ect are happening where the guilds are based during that time ect I could be wrong but thats the feel I get when on my horde alts flying about seing if I can spot any rp like yourself mentioning the rounds and such, there are numerous guilds with crazy activity Horde side who engage in huge campaigns with eachother and alliance enemies, I just dont think they have that capitol city/main hub as they used to, as opposed to the Alliance where Stormwind likely wont ever be truelly dead.

Cus as a grunt RPer, we were first in line when it came to IC issues. Cus they also caused those by the boatload.

Ah, you have my sympathies.
Orgrimmar RP died off after repeated nonsense from a guild that housed people with extremely disgusting tastes.
And the breakaways from that guild are now turning up in Neutral Dalaran guilds.
Org as a hub might be dead, but thereâs still hubs out there. Razor Hill is being used as the main hub at the moment, not to mention a lot of Kalimdor aligned guilds will probably be found around Durotar/the Barrens if theyâre not pre-occupied in another area, so walk up is still possible you just have to look a smidge harder.
this reminds me of the death of the Defias Brotherhood RP server.
only guild RP was left in end x.x not that i wanna be cynical but it shows that there aint so many players anymore
Nah its not a death theyve basically just lost their capitol for a small time, these things come and go in time, plenty of Horde rp, its just not in Ogrimmar atm.
Most people tried to avoid them. It wasnât until like⌠idk 4 forum threads? (Maybe more) of disturbing RP that some actually seemed to fade away.
In fact, a lot of people reached out with very very helpful advice! Which they didnât heed.
But even now, some still linger like a bad smell. Unapologetic and unwilling to change from their unacceptable behavior.

This is another big factor. I think someone else mentioned it before, but itâs hard to overstate how much of a disaster SL has been for player retention: Droves have left the game and many havenât returned yet.
The effects can be seen on both factions. Though itâs easier to find roleplayers on Alliance side since theyâve always had a larger population of them compared to Horde - despite the loss of players.
Hopefully if the next expansionâs reasonable then people may return? However, the gameâs health is very close to the knifeâs edge at the moment: If we get another 2 years of horrificly bad story telling/gameplay then it might just be enough to push AD over that edge.
Perhaps, and for my part it will have to be on my return and when my alt is ready, butâŚ
Maybe a Horde initiative to get people comfortable in Orgrimmar again. A week of events spread across the valleys so guilds and groups can just chill. A market, maybe a duelling tournament, race/military meetings and other such.
Things like this canât happen based on hope alone, a firm and positive nudge in the right direction is required. And as a result of experienced and established RPâers returning, maybe the quality of new arrivals can be helped too.

Seems like a great idea. Iâd be there.
We must retake OrgrimmarâŚ
And give it back to the people, right?
âŚâRight!? 
pls get horde going again i wanna try it and it desrves to LIVE
You havenât been paying attention, Horde lives. Even robustly so, just not in Orgrimmar. So I suppose if you are a city gamer, you might think it isnâtâŚ
