Hi!
Im looking for a nice RP server to start a character on. Alliance side.
What realm should I pick? I created a character on Scarshield Legion but only 5 people was in Stormwind even though it has high population.
Argent Dawn is a pretty good one.
But that is full and I dont want to wait to log in
I RP on AD and I never had to wait to log in.
I never played on Argent Dawn, but I donāt think Iāve heard of queues to log in there. If you want lively Alliance RP on an EU realm, thatās the liveliest there is.
I kind of want to recommend the connected realms Moonglade / Steamwheedle Cartel / The Shaātar, but Iām pretty sure it is very unlively here compared to Scarshield Legion.
I just really like it here, and Iām not online that much myself, so I donāt mind others also not being online muchā¦
(Our population was āLowā last I checked.)
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I tried to find better topic, but all are closed also the anti-spam didnāt let me create a topic, with more accurate name (i think).
Iām kinda new player in World of Warcraft. I played a bit TBC, and a lot Woltk years ago. Tried a little of BfA (but i didnāt like the content). Iām not also THAT new to role-play (iām playing pnp rpgs like: Blades in The Dark, Shadow of The Demon Lord, Ironsworn, Dungeon World or Kult Divinity Lost mostly as a GM. I played some PBFās when i was teenager).
I would like to join a roleplay server, as a beginner at alliance sideā¦ aaaand i have some questions about it.
- Which would be the best? Yes, I can see that most of you pointed out Argent Dawn.
Iām a bit worried about queues like OP. I see there are more Role-play servers with high population like: Sporeggar, Venture Co, Ravenhold or Scarshield Legion. Or maybe āfullā doesnāt mean anything
. - Knowledge of Lore: I know some of the lore: played Warcraft 2 and 3 and some wow, i know the base timeline. But i never went deep into the lore. For me, WoW has one of the biggest lore i have ever seen. I feel my knowledge about is too little at this moment, is it ok? Because I will surely make, a lot of mistakes of this.
- I would like to play RP but I havenāt done the game content yet so i would like to have fun of ājust the gameā, like dungeons, raids, questing etc. (Probably some of it will be OOC, because my character wonāt have a real reason to go thereā¦ Like to go certain dungeon for 55th timeā¦)
- Language. As you can see, my english is far from being perfect, iām not native speaker (also i had s**tty school education if not the online games i wouldnāt be able to speak on decent level xD). How it looks like when some make a grammar mistake or misspeling? Are you ok with that, willing to help, or you are just dying in front of the pc screen? XD. (Yeah, this is my greatest fear! But from my experience is the most efficient and the most enjoyable way to master language for me ;p).
EDIT: - I almost totally forgot! How the role-play looks like in the game? Iām used toā¦ Rather a bit ālower fantasyā. Iām not sure i can handle all the superpower bs, where everything is explained by magic and people are powergamming on a daily basis. Because I think even in fantasy world there are some laws of physics and other stuff. How does it look like on AD-realm for example?
Thank you for all the answers,
Potatronus.
Check out the answers in the other thread with almost the same questions as yours.
As for your 5th question, Iām not sure what to tell youā¦ Almost everything in Warcraft is magic. Every playable class has some (or a lot of) magic to it, with their combat abilities that muggles cannot match.
Iām fairly sure the laws of physics are the same in Warcraft as IRL, but there are many magical ways to do things, like attacking, healing, levitatingā¦
Regarding the queue-phobia, I trust Elrianās assessment that there are no queues when logging into Argent Dawn (nor any other servers, except perhaps the RP servers on WoW Classic).
Hey,
Before I posted a question here, I was looking for answers, but the searching engine wasnāt kind to me. After your reply, I just roughly scrolled down to 2018, searching again. I got partial answers for what I wanted. It is what it is.
I already created at Argent Dawn and as you said guys, I have not encountered any queues rn.
For 5th question I found some topics where ppl were discussing, there was no clear answer for it, opinions were divided ;).
There are many ways to roleplay in (high)fantasy world. I wanted to know which one of is default option here at WoW-RP (by default I mean what is the ādaily basisā). If people here mostly act as he overpowered heroes (which your in game character is, because you are the main character of the story), or they play moreā¦ mundane (?) roleplay which isnāt necessarily connected with the game story in which u killed so near god-like creatures and saved the world for 123rd time ;). (thatās a stupid example, but I believe you know what Iām thinking about).
Furthermore, if Iām talking about it, perhaps you can answer me one more question. Is powergamin/metagamin a big problem?
I think maybe I misunderstood you, then 
As I mentioned, magic is an inescapable part of the Warcraft universe, but in my experience, good and decent roleplayers avoid RPing as a demigod who singlehandedly defeated Deathwing, the Lich King, and Old Gods with one strike.
I think most RPers would see such a character as pretty ridiculous, and would choose not interact with them.
That being said, my impression is that RPers do keep within the gameās story, but they definitely arenāt the main character in it.
Iām not sure what you mean by powergaming, but metagaming is - also in my experience - very much frowned upon by āseriousā roleplayers. Even some of the most powerful and knowledgeable lore characters in the game donāt know everything that we as players might know.
Thatās on me, I wasnāt clear with my question ;).
Yeah, I know that, magic i everywhere. As I mentioned, there are just many ways how people play with it. Some of RPers use healing magic, and they describe it as instant healing (Iām not saying thatās impossible :D) some of them more like increasing healing ratio. None of these ways are bad nor good. One isnāt just my style of playing. I wanted to prepare myself for what I might encounter :D.
Powergaming - generally seeking to have the most powerful character without regard to the ārulesā (I donāt know if there are any rules in RPers community, here but ācommon sense ruleā). Describes what his/her character do with the other character without any chance to react it etc. etc. etc.
Okey you generally answered for all of my fears, all of my questionsā¦ but unlucky for you, i one last more.
EDITED: Nvm I will just look in game for someone

Ah, if that is what powergaming is, I think I can safely say no one likes that, except maybe the person going around RPing āgodā.
I believe if someone RPed like that in WoW, they would soon find themselves RPing alone, since that kind of roleplay is not enjoyable for most RPers.
