Whilst we can joke about the issue freely now that itâs been over for awhile I still believe we should take very careful note of how the past few Campaigns have went down in this regard and have tumbled because certain individualsâ OOC intent in an entirely In-character RP Campaign. It does not support nor influence people to sign up for a Campaign when there are people on this forum actively going out of their way to try and throw weight around and blame the Horde players whoâve been nothing but slandered since this Threads beginning, if you need to ask yourself why RP-PVP Campaigns arenât happening anymore when this is the sort of behavior being pulled I firmly believe action needs to be taken.

I wouldnât blame this campaign or Wilcox for the toxic and sub-20 IQ posts made by Fairbanks though. Although clearly it gives a very bad impression.

Right, as someone who wasnât actually here during Drums of War (my laptop decided to go down for the count), I donât really know what happened there.
However, what I can say is that just because one campaign in Silverpine wasnât fun, doesnât mean all subsequent campaigns wonât be fun there. Even if there are some guilds that are here that were there beforehand, e.g, the Nightfall Brigade and the CoL, doesnât mean it will turn into exactly the same thing. Most people who I spoke with about Silverpine remember it fondly, then again most people who I speak to who were part of the Alliance.
I agree that itâs through colaboration between Alliance and Horde that we can make something fun here. While of course itâs we Alliance guilds that are organising it, it was mainly due to the fact that weâve yet to see a Northern campaign since Drums of War, and hey, the North needs a bit of activity!
(There was Alterac, okay, I admit, but Alterac is so damn stale to me. That being said, it was fun while it lasted, even if we were soundly thrashed by the Horde)
So I understand that some people donât want to come to this campaign. Thatâs fine. I understand that some people canât attend this campaign due to the fact that the Alliance side booked up pretty much within 24 hours of the thread opening, to which I say: yeah, kinda sucks. Iâve been there too, we really wanted to to go to the Howling Fjord campaign but it was booked to maximum, and I also had to hear the results of the battle for Lordaeron IC from Solomon while I raged at the fact Dell couldnât get my laptop back to me in time.
To any Horde guild who might be interested, I say come give it a go. Weâre all rpers here, and weâre willing to work through any issues. In the end, we can all be civil people, and work together to make this hobby of ours enjoyable for everyone.
So, yeah, come on Horde! If we win, we want it to be bitter sweet. I play a Lordaeron guild, so Iâm a damn glutton for punishment! ![:smiley:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")

Pretty sure people are referencing a more recent campaign, not DoW. Which, as far as I can tell, went fairly well? Other than crashing the servers, but Blizzard needs to buff their hamster wheels, nothing we can do there, heh.

A few people on the Alliance side for Chooks Campaign decided to ruin it for everyone by harassing people and posting nudes, it was the dagger in the back for a lot of Horde players that led to the mass boycott of bi-faction campaigns/events.

Eh, Iâve been out of the campaigns for a bit. I was there for Feralas, Alterac, and thatâs about it recently. The last really big one I was in was Silithus, where I had to end up dragging the Covenant over there myself through quite a bit of persuasion.
I think I did well to do so, though, everyone seemed to have some fun.
Edit: Well, I can agree, that is utterly reprehensible behaviour.
And when that previous campaign is brought up and bragged about by an Alliance player, it doesnât set a very favourable precedent.
⊠itâs also that more are in the making, and the recent back-to-back campaigns are more an exception than the norm.
I know Iâve one on the writing desk and Iâm helping with the setup for one more; often hosts just tend to be a bit more careful about when and how they make their plans public.
Also, as it happens, a lot of hosts donât make their campaigns public because theyâre not intended to be! Smaller, private campaigns and narratives can be just as engaging. Weâve had several encounters set up just as part of the Roaming Hub Iâm running at the moment too.

Guild name: Sisterhood of the Serpent
Guild leader: Mentor Rakihu Gorelash
Faction: Under Horde Employ
Amount of people: 5-18 people depending on the time of the month
About the guild: Assassisns. We fight very, very unfair.
Signing up for: RP-PvE and maybe self-contained tiny-scale RP-PVP scenarios far removed from the battlefield. Partaking in the RP-PvP itself doesnât make any sense for us nor do the rules allow us to express ourselves, but we could hamper the Allianceâs roll modifiers in the actual battles by succeeding in any of our assassination, theft, or sabotage attempts.

I wholly agree, people creating events donât have any need to show it to the public but from the people Iâm in contact with I know quite a few have put the brakes on bi-faction public events due to what has occurred in the last few Campaigns alone - harassment, slander and rumor-spreading - and have instead opted for Horde-centered private guild events instead due to the fact they donât desire to have to deal with the OOC that unfortunately seems to come hand-in-hand with public campaigns.
Smaller and private campaigns are always just as if not more so engaging however my remark as to why RP-PVP Campaigns are becoming less frequent was aimed at large open ones with sign-ups like the Howling Fjord or DoW campaigns where players were harassed and insulted by certain people on the Alliance side of things. The effect this type of behavior has on the community canât be understated.
Edit: Again apologies if my wording with the term âCampaignâ was loose and confusing.

Thatâs true - though again, I think itâs worth keeping in mind the past⊠5-6 months have been more of a historical outlier than the rule for Argent Dawn. Big campaigns have been annual, maybe bi-annual at most, going back in the serverâs history.
I can completely understand why peopleâd be discouraged from hosting/attending them with all thatâs gone on in the past few - or indeed just refocusing more on smaller, internal interactions with people they know and trust.

No-one said they canât be. What people have noticed is the parallel in both the zone AND the attendants in both cases, seeing as itâs basically almost the same guilds that are attending and who have made the campaign in Drums of War a poopfest for the attednants in that zone.
Or maybe WPL and Tirisfal were great and Silverpine was just worse in comparison, either way it was widely regarded as a quarantine zone.
