My man Paingriever was known to humiliate OOCers trying to gank far and wide through /2 and in our events we incorporated OOCers trying to attack as IC enemies – the fact that we were attackable was no issue at all and it rarely occured

In fact I will unshield for every “ganker” trying to run me/ my guild through in the open world and then that player will never try to gank me/ us again lol

Hmm. I see zero hostility here from both sides. I guess this couldn’t possibly cause other players to have a grudge on your lot.

[Taigha-argent-dawn]

I never really got the Perroy circle jerk argument people keep flinging at us. Does it HAVE to do be kneeling in order to gain a crumb of favor? Or do you think that we simply agree on something. Are we not allowed to agree just because we’re in the same community?

[Témpercoil-argent-dawn]

Perroy unironically managed to make him remove his mask…Where do I learn such power?

[Trailoff-argent-dawn]

He’s not arguing that lmao, he’s saying this guy argues against his points and then bends the knee.

[Oxygone-argent-dawn]

He asked nicely.

And yet, there were five players doing casual RP in Orgrimmar that very same evening of the discussion, implying that hubs aren’t completely abandoned, something that would happen if it were the OOCers’ fault

In my experience elsewhere, that’s precisely the amount of people you’ll be able to drum up at most for RP in a non-RP environment…

[Morsteth-argent-dawn (Morsteth)]

Are you implying that PainG himself was powerful enough to rile up all OOCers of DB against all role players AND the OOCers then lost the battles in the open world?

True

[Jenit-argent-dawn (Jenit)]

A number of RPers equal to my regular DnD group.

I’m making fun of people like Termo who come off really strong but end up bending the knee and begging for forgiveness before they make this 1x crazy reason as to why they won’t post anymore.

Six people for my group in total, guess my apartment is a bit of an RP Realm as well tbh

[Jenit-argent-dawn (Jenit)]

We mostly play using Roll20 these days.

One of us moving to Spain and me moving to London while everyone else is in Yorkshire sort of put an end to us physically meeting.

[Zaphius-argent-dawn-370497]

If you have 200 people on an entire server, you won’t get the chance to find 30-50 people outside of events, most likely.

[Adelaís-argent-dawn]

My group doesn’t like playing through the internet so we’ve been on a hiatus for a bit, sad times really

[Jenit-argent-dawn (Jenit)]

A zoom call and a web service isn’t quite the same as meeting up with snacks and drinks but it’s close enough for us.

[Obilot-argent-dawn (Obilot)]

Well, they can, because all the griefers and OOCers left that realm after they bullied all the RPers off it. I mean, they figured out that bullying roleplayers only has a limited fun value, and have likely chosen to locustswarm to another realm.

The realm itself is entirely barren now. “Five” roleplayers and no bored OOCers.

@Zaphius-argent-dawn-370497

Sorry? The person was just confused because the AD forums’ were trash talking about everything, and multiple people were quoting his guild posts and then say the entire server was dead. Some of the events you remember seem to be a little distorted, did you check your long-term memory as of recent?

They were probably confused that you accidentally began to claim that they had 200 people online and their server was secretly a utopia and came and mentioned that yes, their scene has suffered as people had been saying

Please stop trying to flee to an alternate reality Zaphius

Yeah, five players during prime time on a mega-server merged from three once-active RP servers. Are you honestly making the claim that like 1.666 players per server in what is their biggest hub (it is a Horde-heavy server as per our last discussion)

There is no other place in the world where anyone could make the claim that a venue with less than two people is busy but the AD forums

@Zaphius-argent-dawn-370497

Because those that were looking for casual role-play moved to AD, as it simply offered more opportunities.

Why did it offer more opportunities?

Was Argent Dawn simply built different, or is there maybe one factor you are willfully avoiding

@Zaphius-argent-dawn-370497

If you have 200 people on an entire server

200 people for an entire server is not much at all for the record

Sad thing is, if we started to move back, all the OOCers would rear their ugly heads and start griefing again.

Yeah I think it should be stated that a bunch of these realms are just straight up ghost towns.

This isn’t unique to RP realms but it is pretty grim that when the RP community left en masse the server itself turned into a spooky liminal space.

@Perroy-argent-dawn

Argent Dawn was alphabetically the first RP realm in the list.

OOCERS LEAVE THIS SERVER

also true
