Realm questions

[Dusterino-magtheridon]

Hey there!

I’m thinking of moving some of my characters to AD because my current realm is kinda dead.

I’d like to try an RP realm and AD since like the best option.

I have a couple of questions about it though if anyone can help me!

1. I only play Horde and I enjoy PVP / WPvP a lot. I’ve checked the realm pop for AD and it seems like the population is heavenly balanced towards the Alliance. My question is: is it impossible to quest out in the open world / current content zones? How likely am I to be ganked up on and camped as horde with WM on?

2. I also quite enjoy raiding, not exactly a mythic raider but I do like to try it out. Are there also horde guilds that focus on progress too on AD?

3. I’ve never RP-ed before but I’d like to try. How hard is it for an RP noob to start?

Looking forward to your guys’ responses. Thank you if you decide to help!

Hello

1. Won’t happen. People pretty much ignore each other save for the weekly quest. AD is only phased with RP Realms and alliance guys are usually chill there.
2. If you come to mythic raid, I suggest a pve realm
3. The saving grace of this thread. Download the TotalRP3 addon, create your profile (super easy to use). Look for nice guilds on the server depending on your character concept. Apply, say you are a noob and ask for guidance and usually good people will help you.

Regarding raids, you could as well pug the stuff/join a community that’s not based on the realm you play on (whihc will be more than fine for anything except mythic early into the tier) while still being able to join a roleplay guild.

[Blithere-argent-dawn (Blithere)]

Join a roleplaying guild rather than a raiding guild to start, it’ll be hard for you to try roleplaying without the proper support.

Makes friends, some rp guilds do raid.

There’s a list of guilds on the forums, plus many others recruiting in trade. Find one with a concept you like that is active and you’re good.

very unlikely, on either faction it’s a miracle if i meet an enemy layer, let alone a friendly one.

i’m sure there are.

Very easy if they’re with the right group, I highly recommend one of the following guilds:

[PCU] Forsaken Loyalist RP - The Rotgarde

He moved a set of wooden models - little painted dragonhawks - across the map to loom over Jintha'Alore. He stood to lose a lot, yet he could not leave this point unproven. He would not allow his people and those who stood with them to suffer this injustice without extracting a tithe of flesh - they would all pay for their crimes ten times over, for Phillip Perroy still remembered the first of his beloved Queen's teachings - that of vengeance. He found himself staring a model of himself - a l…

[PCU] Grunt RP - Hand of Conquest

Glorious combat await us, my beloved Thirteenth.

[H-RP] Grim Gest - Gruesome deeds for the greater good

<The Bilgewater Battalion> Troll Troubles!

Do you want to serve in the military? Do you want to secure the financial security of Horde and by extension you? Do you want to innovate and receive a semi-decent healthcare plan whilst doing it? Then Uncle Bedlam wants YOU! The Bilgewater Battalion have opened recruitment for a new hit squad unit which shall focus on, as well as keeping the peace, going on deployment to lands across Azeroth and beyond as a fist of the Bilgewater Cartel and testing new innovations in engineering and science…

[PCU] Horde Elf RP - Highblood Myrmidons

The Highblood Myrmidons’ doctrine is based around the idea that the Horde now stands as the logical continuation of the elven empires of old, having recruited the two high-blooded mage cities of Silvermoon and Suramar to their cause. The Horde provides the strength and backing that is needed to achieve the goal of Highborne dominance, being an excellent tool, as well as coming to both Suramar and Quel’Thalas in their ultimate times of need. Characterised by an undying, sometimes fanatic loyalty…

[Zandalari RP] Painted Shields

They emerged from the undergrowth, each one a dizzying burst of colour in the darkness of the jungle. Leering faces, strange and chaotic scenes of long-forgotten battles and intricate murals dedicated to the profane loa glared out from the hardened wood of the shields. More like a phalanx of red-plumed golems than the common trollish rabble, the column came to a halt and stood in silence, as if to give their foes either a moment to make their peace or at least enjoy the artistry of the cohort… …

[PCU] Gnome RP - Assemblage of Uld

It was all perfect, once. A flawless work beyond what mortal hands could ever create. It can be perfect again. We need only get it of what is gumming the gears of progress. Not even the army’s finest minds can comprehend this. We have always looked to the future and ignored our history - well, they are fools. I posit to you that the optimal future for gnomish interests lies only in the daring synthesis between the work of the gnome and the design of our Grand Architect. Assemblage, assemb…

[PCU] Worgen/Night Elf RP - Dirge of Teldrassil

We’ve lost everything. It’s all ash, now. The witch gave the order, but what of those who cheered as the flames rose? What about those who cut a bloody path through our sacred forests? What about those who loaded the demolishers, who pulled the levers? They are all complicit. All collaborators. Never forget that. Elune willing, we’ll take from them just like they took from us. Their livelihoods, their families… To lose one home and then another by the hands of the Forsaken. What a mon…

As you can see, virtually every possible angle for Horde RP is catered to, as well as several Alliance ones.

I can guarantee quality and helpfulness in each and every one of these guilds.

[Baerhugues-argent-dawn]

You hurt my soul Dorn, not even showcasing your favourite Ebon guys.
:shooketh:

[Dusterino-magtheridon]

Thank you all for the responses! <3

It’s nice to hear that WM on ganking isn’t that big of a deal.

Also, mostly by wanting to raid I meant getting curve (a must) and maybe a few mythic bosses down (this is optional).

I’ll try and level a character on here first and see how it feels.

[Tehya-wildhammer]

alas, the Onslaught isn’t on a megathread full of easily copypasted URLs

You’ll be able to pug that without an issue. No need to have people from AD to get this.

[Dusterino-magtheridon]

Yep, I know, I’d just like a guild that clears HC. Pugging already for arenas (not on this char) and that’s so awful though, I’d like to avoid it as much as possible

[Blithere-argent-dawn (Blithere)]

Not many hardcore rpers clear heroic/mythic each week, some have pve guild alts I guess.

Still better to have an rp char in an rp guild even if you just clear heroic once per patch with them.

[Baerhugues-argent-dawn]

Pugging is really easy on Horde tbh…
On Alliance not having much issues, RPing and used to do my +10, HC run etc easily…

I think a good solution to this is to (and to number 3 too) is to look into to some of the unrestricted RP-PvP stuff that’s going on.

Could help you ease into things and these guys are good sports for people new to roleplaying:

[Alliance Unrestricted RPPVP] Sword of Nashal

Sword of Nashal is an elite unit operating under the 7th Legion, whose primary goals are to target and harass Horde military targets in search of vengeance as well as gaining control over strategic resources and assets. Since it is going against the official truce policy, most of the ops run by the Sword are classified and little information about the organization is known by the public. Outfitted with the best arsenals that the Alliance has to offer and being sent on dangerous missions, it i…

[Forsaken Unrestricted RP PVP] The Battlegroup Misery

Soon after Sylvanas left the Horde, the Battlegroup was forced out of Hammerfall by the Horde. It made them lost contact with the Defilers for a while… But recently, and with the help of Engineer Denisha who provided the company with a tunnel drilling machine, a tunnel connecting the Hinterlands with the Basin was made, contact with the Defilers was reestablished, and the Battlegroup Misery is back in action at the Basin! Yes bros! Thanks to Denisha, we are going to be using Arathi Basin in our…

Quite a few people on AD are capable/do clear HC for Curve at a reasonable pace (contrary to RP reputation), although organised mythic guilds are definitely few and far in-between on AD.

It’s true though. Best settle into the RP-oriented atmosphere first (RP guild), and you’ll quickly discover that a lot of the nerds around you are also willing to play the game (aka you don’t need a PvE-only guild to raid). Many RPers are also better @PvP than many supposed-PvPers, too (RP-PvP has a big + important history on AD, something you’ll enjoy if you like world PvP).

[Dusterino-magtheridon]

just made my first character on ad today and i’m having a blast in orgrimmar. gonna make the move with all my chars soon, ty guys <3

@Dusterino-magtheridon

I also quite enjoy raiding, not exactly a mythic raider but I do like to try it out. Are there also horde guilds that focus on progress too on AD?

There’s not a single good mythic guild on Horde side, only a few casual ones. If you want to raid I’d suggest Draenor or Twisting Nether, on AD people just chill or roleplay. On Alliance side however, there are bunch of cutting edge guilds.

@Dusterino-magtheridon

I’ve never RP-ed before but I’d like to try. How hard is it for an RP noob to start?

On Horde side, you might consider joining a guild that will help you to get started. There are also plenty of Discord server where people are wiilling to help you. Just browse the Forum a bit and you’ll find something that interests you.
