This time im trying to find a class i can identify with, i know its not for everyone the rp aspect, but what is a “rogue”. Are they always criminal rats ? I was roaming around on my hunter today and what do i find at the entrance of zf? 60 rogue criminals ganking low lvls, sitting there hiding in stealth to rob poor lvl 40s. They even wear eyepatches, it was hilarious. Why are always rogues doing some shady stuff, i kinda want to play one but can rogues not also be some kind of elite assasin soldier instead of criminal scums ? 
or does this class transform you when you start playing one into a criminal
Well as a human you basically get forced to join the SI7 if you read through your quests so the assassin is more correct there

Mhh that sounds good, wanted to roll alliance also this time
We all start somewhere (rogues) and before we become elite super assassin gods, we have to hone our skills on opponents matching our skill level, some people just take longer to learn, thus you have the “griefers” ganking lowbies.
What you make out of it as individual.
Copying behavior of other players isn’t RP.

Yea i thought mostly this class is about being an outlaw
Criminals, Scouts, Pirates, Ninjas, Assassins, Spies. I think Horde and Alliance class quests land you in the latter camp but I could be wrong. If you wanna RP you could just be someone who really likes to wield two swords in honorable combat or something. It’s a super fluid class.

Rogue is everything that needs to be done shady and secretly. Scout, spy, assassin, lone agent. Rogue is fast, agile, tries to avoid open fights, uses any means to achieve victory like poison, explosives, any blinding and disorienting stuff.
Basically dirty fighter and secret agent. Or a lone wolf working to money.

In my opinion rogue is a very generic class (like warriors and hunters are) that allows for the player to be pretty much whatever he wants. Are you just an agile fighter in a world where war is permanent, but your main focus is something else? You can play an undead rogue and be an apothecary, play a gnome rogue and be a tinker, etc etc…
You can also fully embrace your rogue skills as your primary activity and be a spy, a cold blooded assassin, a very skilled duelist in your own right (based on grace and agility as opposed to warrior), …
To me the limits of what your rogue is is pretty much your imagination. Some things you cannot do though. Obviously anything that is a core idea of another class, you’d have a hard time pretending you’re that (manipulation of the arcane like mages, almost supernatural strength like warriors, devotion to the holy light at the same levels as pala/priests…). But other than that, rogue is such a generic term in DnD-like fantasy, just be aware of the obvious red flags and you can “rp” (even for yourself) a ton of things!

Nice ! That sounds very good for me, i always played this game for only pvp reasons, did not look more into these classes, stories behind them, what actually is the lore and and and, always only min max. I feel like im playing a total new game, fun one, different experience like it was made for
