Inspired by similar threads in the past and in no way just another thread to whinge about other people, I bring you this opportunity to make observations about contemporary AD roleplay culture, where we are, where we might be headed and raising the question of whether it has anything to do with where we were.
My observation is that the standard template human woman is smaller than average, pear shaped (having overtaken the hourglass) and has a heart shaped face.

The standard template for TRPs in Stormwind at the moment seem to be:
Somethingforename Somethinglastname
Obtuse Adjective Found In A Thesaurus As A Title
Vaguely Relevant Race and Class Name or More Obtuse Adjectives To Look Smart
of Manipulating Ranks To Look âSleekâ
Itâs either that or more titles than one can possibly comprehend. I saw âformer barmanâ the other day in the titles of an Illidari and wondered why on Azeroth someone would care about that part of their life to consider it worthy of a title. I can say from experience that most former bar staff are just broken shells that want to forget ever working behind a bar.
Itâs also rather common to see contradicting descriptions. So standard template human woman with what you describe, yet also simultaneously toned and muscled and fit.

Iâll see it later when im on there, but okay!
âXâdoreiâ instead of âx elfâ. Same goes for other species that have a name not in English. This thing is eternal.
Before I quit, there was a noticeable number of generic goth gf tattoo/piercing artists, primarily human and velf/helf.
There are new roleplayers who donât necessarily realise and yes some that should know better but these sort of threads donât contribute to the community except once more fault find. The community is hit hard enough as it is by SL and blizz scandal etc.
Perhaps the usual the forum crowd could instead offer more good examples than just picking over the bones of the âbadâ consistently.

Not the point. Itâs an observation of trends in a neutral sense.
Hardly neutral, seems more another lets point out who shouldnât do by yours and the usual crowd standards. How about some helpful advice rather than oh noe⌠another trp title etc is disturbing my bubble.
Youâre free to be wrong about my intent and Iâm free to keep posting.

Iâve seen a lot of people using their TRP OOC or about tabs to put their hot takes and I think itâs a really unflattering trend, ranging from âif youâre a pink-skinned void elf Iâm going to take it as an illusion IC as they donât existâ to âyour character is not as old as you claim they are.â
Also if you have something important to say, say it on a character that people might recognise. You have 900+ pets, youâre not a newcomer or outsider so miss me with that, please and thank you.
Edit: LMAO the alt poster deleted themselves. Oopsie.
I stand corrected.
