Like my belf rogue is married to my belf monk on my other account.
My nelf druid to my nelf warrior etc.
Still hella funny to get /ws on the monk when she is literally sitting next to her husband and have to be like; “you know that rogue with the same last name next to me? That’s my char’s husband”
you’d like to think so but back in the hey-day i had a friend who detested relationship rp of any kind, erp or not, who had to quite litterally have his male pandaren beat them off with a stick. diffrent strokes for diffrent folks…
just to clarify i wasnt saying you were wrong in the slightest. rather saying a lot of those people lack said maturity to handle the word.
dw I 100% get it, so do I from personal experience. and worry not as well you didn’t give me that impression and im glad I did not give it to you either.
once more, speaking from personal experience rping a male tauren and noting who were the ones that made the attempt. majority of elf rpers are great rpers.
Sounds like you tried speaking to someone at the harbor, which is the red light district, pretty much 90% of the people that hangs out there regularly is a complete write off, especially those hovering there on mounts waiting for their next prey.
Speak to people in the park or around the cathedral and you’ll be fine.
I relate a lot to this, and have had my fair share of “fascinating” whispers. I feel uncomfortable with people flirting with my characters and flirtation or romance is just not RP I’m interested in and it’s overbearing when people push for it - and disheartening when they vanish after it becoming clear you aren’t bending.
The best effects I’ve had is putting a message in my OOC and my about explaining that I’m not interested in romance or flirtation. Some people do seem to see it as a challenge, but I have found its in the very least decreased the frequency.
If you ever see myself, or another Meridian Edict member, rping around Stormwind you’re always welcome to approach for rp! And you can be assured that rp would be free of advances haha
You’d be shocked, my worgen Mr Barker - who yells every word and is a messed up medical monstrosity with too many teeth for his mouth and drools all over the show - was propositioned while actively bleeding out in Stormwind.
Rhaethas is my resident pathetic wetwipe, I’ve definitely noticed he gets far more advances than any other character - even my girls.
Yes, in my experience. RP in most fantasy and sci-fi settings is dominated by that. If you ever make an online RP profile for your character, putting “no romance/ERP please” doesn’t work either (though I still do it anyway). What I’ve found helps is psychologically preparing yourself to just walk away; don’t ever be desperate for interaction. There are other roleplayers out there, so don’t feel blue if you have to cut off what felt like a really cool interaction because someone else had a one-track mind.
I second this, OP. If you can find an IC way to justify your character popping up in different places, then this is awesome if you also enjoy the in-between times (long walks through the wilderness on your own). Some might be bored; others find it soothing.
Before Shog’ganosh ended up in a guild, he was a messenger and scout who travelled between Hellscream’s Watch, Orgrimmar and the Crossroads. Some days, he’d stumble into people and some pleasant RP would ensue. Some days, he wouldn’t run into anyone and I’d be alt-tabbed and doing other things while he strolled between destinations. After a couple of weeks, it ended with him running into a guild that he meshed really well and ended up joining.
It’s not something I’d recommend to everyone and it definitely requires a decent chunk of free time that you’re willing to waste or spend multitasking. But it can be a very immersive experience for you and the people that you run into.
I AM A POWERFUL MAGE, ELF. TEST NOT MY LOGIC WITH PETTY TECHNICALITY!
BUT IF A VOIDSENT BEING WOULD APPROACH THEE IN SIMILAR LASCIVIOUS FASHION, BE AWARE THAT THEY MIGHT SEEK TO EXPLOIT THINE MIND RATHER THAN BODY! BEWARE AND SEND WORD TO A PALADIN, PRIEST OR THE RIFT-WARDENS OF THE REN’DOREI.
