All part of a federation of evil. PCU guilds have frequent cross-faction and cross-guild RP. It’s not only faction war; there’s a plethora of PvE stuff as well. I hosted some campaigns myself.
Blood elf RP really did take a bit, largely because of high elves (with optional void elf customization for the rare few) were added to Alliance. Horde in general is less in numbers, and Ogrimmar is a city less conductive to RP. However, if you find your favourite niche and join a guild roleplaying in it, you’ll have just as much fun.
Been cold all day with sweeping snow. Unfortunately didn’t stick around, but I’m living downtown so it’s expected. Second time I saw any snow this winter…
BfA and early Shadowlands was a golden era, since a lot of pandemic-struck players found their way to RP. Unfortunately, this influx was wholly missed by Blizzard as it coincided with the worst wave of content and lore we’ve been given for a decade.
Now numbers are largely back to mid-Legion. I started RPing there and the main thing I would say changed is some reluctance for random, roadside interactions. In the past year or so I’ve seen much more ((We aren’t actually here IC)) or ((We are doing an event - please don’t interrupt)) than before. I hope that’s gonna change.
If you’d dip into the PCU, Red Venturers are the definition horde side.
Welcome back to AD, and I hope you’ll find your place & enjoy some good RP.
