RP server rules not being abided

[anon45611648]

And we need to be better equipped to fight back!

The above is a fair and reasonable statement, I started out playing on Earthen Ring, also a RP realm but with a mix of both RP and none RP, I always wonder why this option doesn’t work if people are respectful towards other players?

A good portion of RPers actively do content. That is not OOC. It’s just normal.

OOCers are those who have no desire or interest in RP yet come to an RP server either to:

1. Abuse sharding with alliance WM.
2. Zoo tour roleplayers and kek at them.
3. Disrupt RP and have a giggle.
4. Be present for the atmosphere while respecting it.

First three are unwelcome. Last is borderline. Others explained the issue; they may draw in any of the former three and still erode the server’s atmosphere.

[Emje-draenor]

I believe that 1 through to 3 are a problem Lazaares, but not the whole of the problem. Item 4 I cannot see an issue, although I know we will probably disagree

I feel as if I am being asked to justify my views on ‘how a rp realm’ should be, which would be futile as others will have views that differ. In my original post I was referring to aspects of the game that in my view, would draw none role players to roll on AD.

Ive no idea where that is tbh. Ive only ever gone to the ah or portals in ogrimar

Valley of Honor.

Out of interest, and don’t take this as hostility, but why is it that you would play on an RP realm, and not Roleplay, as you say, you have a character, you are mindful of not ruining others immersion wherever possible, is there anything about RP that stops you joining in?

Made my 1st ally on AD because its big ally server, but never really played the game on ally side.

Half a year ago i geared up ally Hunter and actualy played some. And its only then i realised how alive SW on AD is. And i liked it a lot, really adds a lot.

I dont join in as i am a very unimaginative person and wouldnt really be any good. I do go with it if approached sometimes, like a few days ago in boralus a druid recruited me to kill a spider (they brought me to a cave with spider) only to try to kill me with servant of nzoth toy, which i used also but was all wraped up in rp, it started as your pets look strong you must be a strong Hunter… And went from there… The toy was also announced as part of the second test, the spider was the first. Quite fun all in all.

Just stepping in here to say that griefing/disrupting of RP events can be reported, but often, especially when the queues are long, it can be difficult to verify after the disruption has ended.

Inappropriate content in public channels (including addons) should always be reported via the ingame “report” function. Customer Support can review the logs for these and action accordingly.

However, the forums are not a place for naming and shaming and action will be taken if they are used as such.

Do you guys still honor the original rules where RP chara-names are mandatory? It would be great if we could get a confirmation about this.

[Schmusedecke-alleria]

thanks! i ll make sure to come back to that offer.

edit:

wait what. getting in touch and showing me around literally? you re not going to use this opportunity and sell me to goldshire are you?

I tried to make an AD char last week (chickened out in the end ), and I made a thread to get some advice. I had some lovely responses and tips, so I’m going to link it so you can take a look through:

Advice for an RP newbie

Hello citizens of the forums! So I’m thinking of dipping my toe into the world of RP realms, and am just generally looking for overall advice (RP etiquette, addons, servers, etc.), as well as whether my character idea would gel with Warcraft lore satisfyingly. I have read the Wowpedia guide to roleplaying and am an amateur D&D player, so I have a vague idea of what I’m doing. As for my character concept, I was thinking either a human or gnome courier/adventurer. I plan on levelling to at least…

EDIT: If he takes you into Elwynn (other than stormwind), RUN.

No, not really. Unless you want to dance with some Draenei-girls there all night!

[Borbarsa-lightbringer]

I though nelves were the thing?

Funny topsy-turvy AD…

(JOKING!!!)

Every walking NPC and player-chara is desirable in Goldshire.

Semi-serious question here:

I need to level my character to 60+ for the concept I envision. She also happens to be human.

Is there a way to bypass Goldshire and if so how?

Yeah, once you get northshire done you can just go to any other start zone no penalty. So like dun morogh which is a great zone, leading straight to loch modan which is insanely quick EXP.

Come and join us, always happy to lend a hand in game with getting settled if need be or helping a new char set up on the server if their intent is pure . I’m not as prolific as some of the organised RPers (ATM I can only really do as hoc RP due to gaming time) but I know enough of what’s what to point stuff out.

[Borbarsa-lightbringer]

Excellent. I’ll need to flesh out my char first: atm she is literally “human that delivers goods between cities with a flying machine”. Not the most fleshed out char but it’s a start no?

[Gráinne-earthen-ring]

@Paxmillian-argent-dawn

Treat it like you’re naming a child you don’t want people to beat up.

Thus spake Paximillian of Argent Dawn!

Just make sure you get the “Total RP3” addon which is fully customizable (you can even hide the perma-visible button menu) which will help you in the beginning.

I think it depends what kind of human she is (Stormwind, KT, Gilneas, somewhere else, …) and what mount you’re using. Is it one of the machines the gnomes have built for her? A flying delivery service is surely interesting but works she alone? What’s about her family? You can also create a guild which pseudo-acts as your own service (which I would only recommend if you don’t want to join other guilds with your character). Otherwise keep the character grounded with what she can do or not. Most RP happens also literally on the ground.

If you or anyone else needs some help and want to practice some basic RP, feel free to get in touch with me.

[Schmusedecke-alleria]

hah, yeah same, i created a character, walked a bit through stormwind and marvelled at everyones transmogs. they seem to put in so much more thought and effort in it. then i chickened out and logged off again.

but thanks for the link i ll give it a read once i am done eating.

[Borbarsa-lightbringer]

Off the top of my head probably stormwind. I imagine either a self-built flying machine or salvaged.

Thanks for the tips!

[Borbarsa-lightbringer]

No worries.
