If you want to play on an ENG server and you want to RP, there’s only one real option and that’s Argent Dawn. I haven’t really looked into RP lately but when I last did there was plenty of elf guilds floating around.
→ elf guild is more for… feeling less alone in High elf mindset. Its more easier to share the burden of not having true high elf with others people playing voids for high elves in alliance
AD makes the world feel alive, lots of events and highly populated and a great mix of pve and pvp players, the other main servers are silvermoon which alot more pve focused & ravencrest for pvp
AD is definitely the most active English RP realm.
Going forward in TWW you wont need to be on the same realm as your guild, however if you are looking for RP you probably would want to move to that realm.
The various sites can give you an idea of population. I generally go for these two
Is there really any difference nowadays? I like PvP in mmorpg’s but picked Silvermoon because it was more active and I managed to get some names for my characters that were not available in Ravencrest
Unfortunately its a trade-off for playing on the high pop realm.
If I recall every expansion pre patch a lot of names free up, if the persons account has been inactive for 2 expansions (4 years) their character names will get auto released.
So pre-patches are great to try and grab some good names!
AD seems like a really nice place, community looks more chill and casual, but not sure how I would fit on RP realm and how active it is, comparing to Silvermoon (orders mostly). And also not sure how PvP system works there.
I had a hard time finding an active, casual community on Silvermoon.
