So, Where's the Horde RP at?

[Dharguk-argent-dawn]

Long term RPer coming back to the game, Horde seems pretty dead, and I like RPing both sides for clarity but I’m an Orc guy at heart.

Is there any organized Horde RP that’s not just guild based and such?

Hell, even crossfac stuff would be fine.

Thanks in advance!

It is mostly guild-based. However, there are options for casual RP.

There’s a casual gathering every Sunday at a different location. These usually attract a decent number of attendees.

[H-RP] Horde Casual RP Community & Weekly Gatherings

Hello everyone! Over the last couple of months there have been efforts to bring the Horde community together, encourage RP and to help newer folks to the faction to get involved and feel welcome. Horde on AD is considerably smaller than Alliance and there have been many times where someone has said that they found it hard to find others and a guild to join. To combat this, the Horde Casual RP Community discord server was launched. Now that it has been running for a while and properly establish…

There are Fireside Gatherings on the first Saturday of every month, where guilds are encouraged to gather in Orgrimmar to participate in various events. They are usually quite successful.

You’ve also got seasonal public events like the Conquest Clash tournament and the Kosh’harg Festival. Spring is coming, so I would expect the next Kosh’harg in the next couple of months. These tend to be absolutely massive.

But if you are looking for a solely Horde roleplaying hub where you can find people casually roleplaying every night, there isn’t one. People don’t bother with Orgrimmar these days unless their guild is passing through and it’s a similar story for Silvermoon City.

If you’re open to cross-faction RP, then Legion Dalaran is your best bet, though it is decidedly neutral and so it may not suit characters who care a lot about the Horde and who are built around the Horde’s themes.

Thanks for the reply. - I’d be open to joining a guild, I’m just not sure where I’d fit, this particular Orc is not very traditional and a lot of Orcish clans seem inclined to act like it’s still Warcraft 2, and Orcs have made no real progress since then, my Orc is extremely loyal to the Horde, but the Thrall ideals of the Horde, so he’s no problem interacting with anyone honestly.

It’s a bit of a tough one, it’s a shame Horde RP is much quieter than it used to be. But I’ll have a look around and see what’s going. Again, thanks for the help.

@Dharguk-argent-dawn

this particular Orc is not very traditional

As someone who also plays an orc who defies tradition, there’s a lot of fun to be had butting heads with more traditional orcs who passionately cleave to orcish culture and clan culture.

For guilds, there’s a few that I can think of off the top of my head:

Here’s a selection of military guilds that are open to most members of the Horde and I’m quite sure that they would welcome a non-traditional orc, if you enjoy martial themes:

[H-RP] Bloodsong - Life During Wartime

Hello again. The Broad Strokes Breaking out the expensive English for a moment, Bloodsong is meant to function as a microcosm of the Horde as a whole in the context of a military roleplay experience, where the focus is very much on the individual character and what they go through. Further detailing that military experience puts the guild more in the region of a special forces detachment. Any prospective roleplayer interested in joining us can look forward to having more individual impact …

[H-RP] Grimtusk Offensive

Grimtusk Offensive. “Focused, ferocious, and sometimes monstrous, the Horde values strength and honor, but struggles to keep aggression in check.” What is the Grimtusk Offensive? In the past, the Offensive was under the name of The Ashen Division. However with a current change of leaders as well as most of its soldiers, it was decided to try and forge a new legacy for the group, under a new name, the Grimtusk Offensive. The Grimtusk is a warband, that is not heavily tied up to the Horde Mili…

The Orcs of the Red Blade are a good choice for any orc and I can say with confidence that they’re not stuck in a Warcraft 2 mindset.

[H-RP] Orcs of the Red Blade – Now Old Enough to Drive and Vote!

[image] “Akashok, Great Wolf and Father of the Pack, witness me now! From this day until the day I embrace my death, I swear that I will honor my people through blood and toil. I will live by the Code of Honor decreed by my Pack. I will obey my Wolfking and trust in his authority. I will not rest until the pelts of my enemies lie at your feet. My fangs and loyalty belong to my Pack and its brothers and sisters. May dishonor fall upon me on the day that I break these words. From this forward, I …

And while that they do not have a thread on these forums, I know that the Iron Wolf Clan are open to most members of the Horde and they describe themselves as a more modern clan.

There are plenty of other options out there and I’ve only listed a few, so I’d suggest shopping around and seeing which community fits your character the most.

[Dharguk-argent-dawn]

Thanks again. Will have to look into some of these guilds! Seen Iron Wolf around before, nice folks, but not quite a good fit for Dharg!

Appreciate the pointers though!

There is also the up coming Kosh’harg festival where many of the mentioned guilds will be at in march
