Having been on the receiving end of my unfair share of forum justice warriors. To be honest the forums have become less aggressive since the dawn of discord, A lot of the OOC hate is now vented in to there little discord community’s instead of out in public on the forums. And gonna be honest here, the only “victims” (and i use that word loosely) of any “hate” tend to be of the ERP variety and well i’m not about to defend those degenerates. As for the PCU they do get an unfair amount of rumours and undeserved hate. But there not the good guy either. They’ve made there fair share of epic blunders.
Who is Lilynore? I’ve had this name since late BC around the time Dragon Age Origins came out and I couldn’t get the name Leliana

There are plenty, any specific type of rp you are interested in?
I’ll always shill any guilds on this powerful list The [PCU] 😈 now recruiting! [250]
There’s both Horde and Alliance guilds there, something for all tastes

I have a feeling this is why the animosity nowadays is perceived as lesser - it is not as visible, and easier to evade.
Personally I’d love to just watch some quality RP and not get involved just to get more of a feel of how it’s done if that makes sense? I don’t know if that’s allowed though
I would suggest make a char you like, walk around Orgrimmar valley of honor and get a feel about rp, rather than just watch, if you interact with folk you like, you can join them.
You’d be right. I -think- I’m allowed to say that.
There are loads, and pretty much any variety you can think of, is catered to, whether it be racial specific guilds, pan-Horde guilds, warmongers, moderates, pro-Sylvanas/anti Sylvanas, Magi and scholars trying to fathom the universe out whilst our own planet is going a bit odd, you can pretty much come up with a concept and there will be a Guild out there that will suit you.
In general RP’ers tend to be very welcoming, because it is a collaborative pastime, so by extension needs people to enjoy it with, as long as someone is not an ERP’er or blatantly trolling, you will find one, I am sure.
Thank you, I will. Are there any other hubs I should know about? 
Silures, I’m really into my Vulpera and Undead at the moment I’ve met some nice Undead players! How do you go about joining an RP guild?
There is also Silvermoon, just avoid the bazaar area.
Search around the forums, I actually part of a good vulpera guild atm, as for undead, depends if your char will be a loyalist or part of the horde. Check Grim Gest and Rotgarde for Loyalist, or Hand of Conquest for horde.

Sadly I can only view AD as a whole as a bad place after experiencing a lot of negativity myself.
But with everything there are good sides, yes? Lots of nice people to be found. It’s just a case of finding them and when you find the people you enjoy being around it’s great and all that matters.
AD as a whole is very uhh… well, everybody fights a lot. And why? We all want our fun and stuff and when guilds rival to toxic levels, when people are so heavily focused on putting down others and shooing them from the server, fighting and arguing daily it gets very depressing and can put anybody off.
Dunno what my original plan for this post was but damnit. I hate and love AD. It’s nice we can all protect each other from the real bad things (you know, Jade witch levels) but then it delves to petty levels of tracking alts and stuff like that and we need to relax and be happier with people instead of always trying to find fault.

Argent Dawn is certainly more benign than it used to be, back in my day 
if there was no current witch hunt then drama would be imported from ADFB to maintain the weekly forum bullying quota; Argent Dawn had a knack for also annoying every other sub-forum with this too thanks to the popular topics section. Now you just get people either vagueposting or the bi-monthly Goldshire thread.
I think this stems from arrogance IMO, really. There was always an inherent underlying “i am better than you because i rp something ugly”, though that has pretty much died out. It was always expressed through the weekly orc/troll from “respected” guilds who would stomp through Silvermoon interrupting roleplay to REMIND people who the blood elves really work for.
It certainly lead me to avoid Kalimdor as a whole for years, really, because the roleplay you were exposed to was incredibly repetitive and dull. Thankfully, the biggest offenders are long gone and you can really get on with roleplay without a stream of insults from Dragon Age.

I’ve seen a lot of solid Vulpera RP guilds knocking around the Valley of Honour, and in Orgrimmar in general to be honest, largely based on the ‘Caravan’ feel that seems to be an important part of the Vulpera ethos, as for Undead they will always be popular, because who doesn’t like Zombies! There’s the Hand of Agony, the Rotgarde, the Grim Gest are (I think) kind of heavily focussed on if not Forsaken, characters who can roll with that mindset, the Hallowed Host (Though I believe they are Forsaken -and- Death Knights of which ever species) There is Corvenus’s idea which seems to be Forsaken who are still trying to actually deal with Undeath just as with Life, and not becoming any more or less monstrous than the living can be. They all have their merits, and cover a broad span of concepts.
Main Hubs are Orgrimmar’s Valley of Honour, and the East side of Silvermoon. You -do- get some good RP’ers in the West side, and how they keep it up is beyond me, but the area as a whole has a bad rep, not Goldshire bad, but not great.
Brill used to be good for Forsaken, but obviously lore has kind of nixed that.
Best way is check it out, and go for what you like. Sometimes Guilds may close for recruitment, but generally speaking most are always open to ‘new blood’.

Actually, not in this case.
It started, as I’ve stated in the past, when I was new to RP and would RP in Stormwind. I got a lot of abuse for it and from someone who was a friend and well, it got to the point of telling me to KMS and all that, all over the fact I just lingered the city as a bad guy.
It escalated over time. But that’s where it started. Back in 2010 when I was braaaand new so that left a sour note in my mind, especially when I would get invited to channels to be laughed at.
How is it any thread that talks about Argent Dawn or its community etc is quickly hijacked and made about Vaxir by Vaxir?

Not intentional but y’know, I do have to clarify things when needlessly jabbed at by randomers who seemingly don’t know much.
