Heard somewhere that balance druids use arcane in some capacity? Is that true and if so could it be possible lore wise for an arcane mage to study arcane from a different angle, as balance druids do. Maybe even being able to into astral form?

Posted this on wowhardcore but all i got was: 'you cant play without quest addons' lol so i will try here and see what i get:

Like minded ppl to make a new guild on Soulseeker Horde EU? (SF/No quest addons../slight RP)

Have been playing my Tauren a bit and disabled all quest addons and unitscan addons and I have to say I really love this way of playing. I dont care about being the most powerful or speedleveling at all.

Im sure that peeps like me are becoming rare and even most streamers just use rested xp and waypoint guides. (I get it they want to get to 60 ASAP and raid ).

It is so rewarding the find the quest location just by following the description and completing it yourself. WHile I do love this I would also really appreciate a slight RP interaction here and there, even if its just a 'hey how are you' 'something something Tauren...' :) .

Are there even any people (basicaly Lone wolf SF guys who care more about the journey, even if it slows them down) who are like minded and would like to make a guild?

my core ideas are:

- no quest addons or 'dangerous unit warnings' addons, no looking up online as well of course.

- SF but try to do mostly SSF. Getting a dangerous mob by yourself is so much more rewarding. Obviously there are exceptions: if 20 ppl camp a boss spawn, yeah just get into a party and get it over with, that is just not happening. (logically dungeon grouping is allowed)

- if you need help finding a mob or quest objective, and still have no clue after even spending 30mins-1hr of searching yourself, you can ask guild help: but preferably RP the interaction: Find a mob in Mulgore? an experienced tracker will fly over, maybe start a campfire, introduce yourself, hunt the mob together but let the person who seeks it attempt to kill it, so dont party and dont party chat. (I dont know how practical this would be, this is just how I would imagine it.) Intervening if said person is near death? You can decide yourself.

- actual RP events or gathering events: not mandatory but maybe just small gatherings here and there 'getting a drink in orgrimmar' or 'go fishing' or idk..' . On the very least have some kind of small interaction when you cross eachother. (not an extreme strict unforgiving RP guild)

- as a first name idea of the guild i would think of 'Pathfinders' or 'PathfindersSF' or could be something else. I rarely use the map and mostly disable the mini map, thats why I thought of this name.

- I dont need to be the guild master , it can be someone else.

Well, more ideas could be added and existing ones changed, Im open to all of it.

Im not sure If Ill get much reaction, then Ill continue alone, which is fine. If you are interested, let me know by DM or comment.

Thanks, happy hunting, stay Safe

Seen a few looking for a community posts for US servers but not a lot for EU. Is anyone out there roleplaying on the new classic fresh servers? PVE, PVP or Hardcore doesn’t matter to me!

A small guild of like-minded adventurers would be perfect.

I've played on kirin tor for years but after the purge provoked by Shadowland, I feel like RP there is dead or lacking quality.

I feel like 90% of it is one of those :

- ERP

- Dating sim

- Random stormwind noble

- Random elvish noble

- Lore unfriendly RP

- Edgy RP

Back then there were many guilds, events, life on the server, but now ? It's hard to find a guild where you can play with many folks and build a character

Context: https://youtu.be/Ucwyae4vqi4?si=HsbfQZgcoG9vz1Ys https://youtu.be/YEOv8asSLSM?si=Pn6tFIulW41Sn1ZZ

So in one of the PTBs, there is a questline about the Kirin Tor post-Dalaran destruction (videos above). How is your character(s) feeling? Here's my go:

Parigne Steelmane - Dwarf mage - Parigne had been a member of the Kirin Tor for a long time, way before the ways of the arcane were known for Dwarves. She had served them faithfully and became the Archmage of the Tirisgarde for her service. When Dalaran fell, she was consumed by so much rage that she tried to attack Azj-Kahet with reckless abandon. Now, with a calm demeanor, she is unsure if the Kirin Tor can even continue. It was one thing when Archimonde destroyed Dalaran, but this time it felt impossible.

Julibee Quickcraft - Gnome mage - Julibee had been Parigne's apprentice since the Nexus War. On the verge of graduation, she hopes she can become an excellent mage, even if her talents are so-so. Just like her teacher, she desires vengeance

Yctesseia Ressullann - Nightborne mage - Since Suramar's liberation, Yctesseia had been a member of the Kirin Tor, hoping to learn more secrets of the Arcane with them, and perhaps them people a thing or two about it's power. Despite her brief history with the faction, she still feels the grief. The same grief she faced when her husband vanished when he stood against Elisande

Eviarra Sundancer - Blood Elf Mage - Eviarra has a long history of the Kirin Tor. She studied magic there in her youth before returning to Quel’thalas, reunited with them during the Nexus War when the Sunreavers allied with them, then got imprisoned in the Violet Hold following the Purge of Dalaran only to be busted out by an ethereal named Kaffu, then reunited when Aethas pleaded his case for the Sunreavers to be with the Kirin Tor once again. Despite he turbulent history with Dalaran, she made good friends there. The attack on Dalaran reminded her of Quel’thalas and she cursed Ansurek and her nerubians for the death of mages, young and old.

Castine Stonebridge - Human Mage - Castine was taken in as a orphan wondering the Plaguelands following thr Scarlet Enclave. The arcane arts had been her favorite passtime. It was an idea for vengeance, but as time passed, she focused her energies elsewhere. She remembers the support she received when she was on a quest to find Felo'melorn. When she found the blade, she studied it and used it against the Burning Legion. Castine feels grief for those who died the same way she felt grief for her parents when they died.

Paudele Scourgetrick - Undead Mage - Paudele had been an apprentice for a long time, ever since she was 9 years old. While it came at the price she was away from her childhood friends, it was an excellent escape from the toxic environment of her household. All that was left was happy memories of her time in Dalaran before her passing during the Culling of Stratholme, for she was at the wrong place, wrong time.

Jack Redfield - Worgen Priest - Jack's father was a member of the Kirin Tor before leaving Dalaran to settle in Southshore, where he met his wife and had him. Jack never an interest in the arcane arts like his father, but he remembered some teachings about magic and science in general. With the destruction of Dalaran, he shares his father's grief. And his husband's grief.

Bryce Riden - Worgen Priest - Bryce remembers when she first stepped in Dalaran. He was offered to put his studies on Xal'atath to a much bigger audience in Netherlight Temple. Those first steps were steps he will never forget. But for worse this time: he feels like the destruction of Dalaran was all his fault. He empowered Xal'atath and freed her. But he shuts everyone out, even his husband, Jack, doesn't understand the extent of his depression

Samantha Riden - Human Priest - Just like her little brother, Samantha has fond memories of Dalaran. She was there where Dalaran fought above Deadwind Pass, there when Netherlight Temple was founded, and there when Kil'jaeden attempt to burn it down. When she found an orphan in the ruins of Dalaran, she took her in. Bryce doesn't know it, but Samantha knew all-too-well about his depression. Now, she has things to balance out, helping her child get home, fighting Xal'atath, and trying to prevent Bryce from dying, or worse, controlled by Xal'atath.

Roderick Stenes - Human Rogue - Stenes had faithfully served Dalaran for years. He was welcomed into and eventually became the leader of the Uncrowned. The attack devastated him, but he managed to ground himself and now see to it all who fell are avenged.

Jaedine - Darkfallen Hunter - Jaedine only heard of the attack. But she attended it's memorial, for she felt like this was similar to Quel’thalas.

How about you?

EDIT: Forgotten someone

I'm gonna be playing a worgen druid, looking for some tips on RP, in general. The only thing I've decided so far about his character is he doesn't like being in human form, but was taught at a young age he has to be in human form in towns and cities to stay at Inns etc so he doesnt cause a scene. Therefore, he loves to take missions (quests) as a mercenary for hire so he can shapeshift freely.

Any tips are greatly appreciated! TIA

Talking about the server Argent Dawm, and compared in stormwind, orgrimmar is death for doing rp stuff. Is it actuak death? Or are their other location for horde walk up rp that i don't know about.

Been running around on both Classic RP servers and have found nobody. Is Classic RP dead?

The reason as to why i write this is twofold:

1. Sick of the everything is okay mentality on retail and would prefer some actual structure
2. It's classic the lore is more steady than the mess that retail is

So I have been wondering is classic RP actually dead?

Its just as the title says, I have rp'd on wow US servers on and off since Burning crusade and since the end of BFA its been more off than on. I gave in when the Ravenholdt server collapsed and migrated to Wyrmrest. Gave in when the horde roleplay imploded and went alliance. Now I am on MG and I just feel out of place.

Keeping it short without ranting. Storylines rarely last to completion and fizzle out within weeks. Guilds are so insular that they end up being disconnected from the game entirely (think dnd session with wow as your UI). You have to roleplay a hyper extravert or people stick to the common 'hows the weather' levels of roleplay. Lore wise I know there is a world ending threat but it doesn't feel like it, it feels like we got a bloody nose and decided to genocide another npc race back into the dirt.

I got to stop before I get really started, I try every couple of months hard to roleplay and nothing sticks. I might need a change in perspective. I am open to fresh OOC ideas on how to look at things. Lord knows I have tried and created every type of character over the years so the problem is most likely me. Any thoughts?

EDIT: What I learned. So I have picked up alot of interesting points.

1. I need to put more time into learning discord and accept that it has become basically a requirement now.
2. I need to drop the old meta idea of "If I didn't learn about it IC in game then I don't know it IC." The game itself can't sustain that thought anymore and outside sources are too widely used.
3. May look into classic RP but looking deeper into it that idea might be a bit of a dead end.
4. Its not just me who thinks the lore has made RP strange.
5. If I could just snap my fingers I would show some of the younger roleplayers what even Ravenholdt looked like in its peak. I wonder if I can find some of the old pics I saved from 2009-ish. There was some old wedding photos that I think I can still find.

Hello all!! First time poster, soon to be roleplayer- I have been thinking of role-playing on WoW (as I have quite a bit of freetime) but there's a problem (besides the fact that I know not a lot about WoW lore oops) I have been having. I always wish to be a healer in almost any game I play, it's my favorite class, and I was thinking of becoming a priest. However, I also love being a backalley healer- one that you would go to and either have your organs removed or come out perfectly fine. Because of my lack of knowledge of WoW's races, I don't know what would be the best choice for that.

That is all the advice I need- I would just like suggestions so I may be able to create the best, very threatening healer possible! I thank you all! 😊

I'll keep it short and sweet. I was creating some items in TRP3, and something curious wound up happening as I finished. All of them reverted to the stock WoW W icon (same one on the WoW tokens), and I lost the ability to edit or remove any of them. I've tried everything short of just completely resetting TRP3.

Does anyone know how to correct this issue, or am I basically forced to do a hard reset?

Hello! Me and two other people found ourselves at a pvp server in the sod version of the game.
We managed to recruit people to our group, and we play on the love and understanding cult vibes.

The agenda is to recruit as many people as we can, and lure more and more people in. Just a chaotic vibe, where we are cultists but not really, we just promote love and understanding.

That's like the main narrative, we feel kinda stuck on what the end game should be. We got plenty of gold to cover expenses like outfits and so on for all the members. Our plan is to just have meetings in org, and talk openly and see what people join us in our scheme.

Even though it's a pvp server we got a pretty massive response, people engaged, people started to protest, warning other players for us scheming in the shadows and so on. And it was so much fun, the three of us that stuck with the idea are now trying to come up with a plan. It's nothing too serious, and it's just a fun way to pass time between raids.

Now if you were to start a cult, that isn't a cult, but once your'e in, you know it's a cult.

What would be some kind of narrative or goals you would have? We are happily looking for suggestions, or help since we are all completly new to the RP thing. We never break character when we actually engage in the acitivty, we are just a friendly group, looking for more new friends.

Our goal is just to get as many to join as we can, just for the fun of it. We want to be a noticed thing, since it's not that common on our server. I have never seen someone RP, but seeing all the other people that joined or protested against our group was so much fun, and we want to keep to ball rolling.

We are open for any suggestions that doesn't break TOS, so go wild and give us some things we could continue to work on!

So, obviously, for the sake of the rules but also in order to keep up my integrity, I'll keep this anonymous.

I'll try to keep it rather concise but still keep as much detail as possible.

A while ago I joined an RP guild, had a great time in and out of character, both in game and on the discord server. Made some great IC friends as well.

I started getting a bit wary when two of my IC friends left within a few days, both shortly after recieving a promotion. This caused some bitterness in the guild leadership, which was understandable at the time. I didn't know the full picture so I wasn't going to judge. Just thought it was weird.

Of course the people who left the guild weren't just gonna stop existing and were still around in the RP hub, and IC they were still our friends, so some of us kept on casually RPing with them whenever we ran into each other. Guild leadership was not happy with this and pretty soon started pulling people aside IC and telling them off for interacting with them, going as far as threatening to kick people. When I heard about this, I really got suspicious.

One night I was walking around and met my ex-guildies, had a nice IC chat, and, sure enough, got pulled to the side as soon as I was spotted talking to them, quickly getting a talk about how they were trying to split the guild, how they manipulate everyone and how guild leadership wanted me not to talk to them. For me, this overstepped a line because now I was being told by others who I could and could not interact with. I also voiced this concern in character at the time (because I don't enjoy taking stuff ooc before trying to resolve it IC).

Of course my next step was to actually seek out a conversation with my friends who left, because all of this had seemed fishy to me from the start. It started IC but quickly turned ooc, because, of course, that is where most of the severe stuff lies usually. I of course took everything with a grain of salt, but, nevertheless tried to gain an informed perspective. Apparently guild lead had not talked to either of them past leaving and instead chose to just tell people off for talking to them, with ooc drama over supposed overstepping of boundaries and abuse of power and, what tipped me over, actively pushing away concerns over very questionable political beliefs openly stated and defended on the discord server. Of course, ooc is ooc but I am not comfortable with being part of a community that actively defends individuals that are openly harmful to others.

Together with my impressions I had gained from just being around, this formed a fairly clear picture for me and it was pretty clear to me that I was gonna close that chapter, so I wrote a short and vague enough goodbye message in guild chat and discord and left. Could I have handled that better? For sure. But it is what it is.

I was shortly after contacted by the guild leadership, reasonably enough, asking for a reason. I explained where I was coming from, and immediately got a very defensive reaction, accusing the others of poisoning my mind and how they had expected "better" of me. I remained neutral, simply explaining myself but could feel them getting more aggravated and defensive with every reply, showing me that my choice was right. You don't get defensive immediately if you didn't do anything wrong. Ultimately, it ended up with me being told that I didn't know what roleplay was, that them telling me ic who to talk to (or else!) was entirely unrelated to any ooc implications, and getting blocken. Fair enough, have a nice day.

Was laying low for the next few days but eventually came back fully to rp. Of course I'd eventually run into people from the guild but I was ignored by all of them, which felt a bit shit because some of these were people I spent many hours rping with! But I figured they probably got the same briefing I did.

Fast foreward to last night, where me and my friend, who was also one of these chastised ex-guildies, sat around and talked. Someone from the guild I had known in passing (joined a few days before I left) stopped by to chat a bit. Was already feeling a bit uneasy on their behalf, and, sure enough, their guild leadership walks past after a short while. Shortly after, the person became a lot more quiet and eventually whispered me, saying how they needed a second, they apparently had just been kicked from the guild for simply talking to us...

I briefly talked to someone in whispers, who was still in that guild and, while they understandably didn't wanna get involved in any sort of trouble, it seemed as if there was a very different narrative being spread internally, which is okay, you do you, but when people get punished for interacting with me and/or you push a narrative of defamation against me, I find that very hard to tolerate.

Tldr: nasty guild breakup leads to a situation where my rp and potentially reputation are being influenced!

Now my question: what the fuck do I do here? My first instinct is to talk but that attempt at just talking very quickly turned into insults and getting blocked ob their party, which isn't exactly constructive. I also don't wanna pull anyone else into this because, quite frankly, it's childish bs that even I don't want to be involved with!

Hello,
It’s me again. Let’s say my character uses the curses typically associated with warlocks in combat, such as Curse of Tongues, Curse of Weakness, and Curse of Exhaustion, but does not use any other magic because she hasn’t learned it or doesn’t care to.

1. Would she have an aura?
2. Can others sense or recognize her aura? For example, someone emote, “/e try to sense an aura around her. Is there a way to hide it?
3. How would the curses work in battle? Are they cast like spells, or would there be another way to apply them?

Thank you very much & have a great day/evening/night.

Hello everyone, I find myself in need of advice from people more experienced than I am. I'm part of a small military roleplaying guild in the Alliance, and they have a specific rule that no heroic classes can be members. My main RP character is a Death Knight. I've been advised to create a new character sheet but avoid defining them as undead. Do you know if there's a way for a powerful undead like a Death Knight to use magic, runes, or any form of concealment to appear human?

How would you roleplay putting an Acherus Knight in that position?

thanks in advice

How are you all doing? I'm new here and to wow just started playing a few day's ago and i wanted to make an character on argent dawn which i seen is an rp server to try rping bc it seems something i would enjoy but before i do that i want to know if i want to do normal content too there's people who do that? Or i wouldn't have with who to do that? I am curious if people on that server only rp or do normal content too? If anyone playing there or that has experience in rp server's could let me know that would be nice please :)

Hey all. I am a new player (soon to be a month old). I am struggling with making connections in game. I often go to taverns or other places where people are, but I find myself struggling to find a good way to include myself in conversations. Does anyone have any tips?

I play on Argent Dawn on EU

I am RP player from retail who started Classic fresh (EU) Thunderstrike. I download TRP for classic because i love to read other's stories. As we know fresh classic is roleplay free, so im wondering are there any RP guilds or poeple who would like to see RP on those new servers?

Howdy! I've been rping on and off, in various ways and through various platforms, just about all my life. (or at least as long as I've been on the computer.) On different websites I've noticed different standards for how the canon is treated, and my most recent experience is with tumblr, where most roleplay is with canon characters or has a canon character involved. Because I haven't been actively roleplaying on WoW in a while (just lurking on MG) I wanted to ask:

1. How does roleplaying an NPC work? I remember one of the big rp addons giving you the option to make quest npcs talk, but only visible by other users of the same addon. Is it usually like that, or more along the lines of just making an npc-ish character?

2. How much roleplay is there of major lore characters? Is it looked down upon (I remember not seeing much of it but hearing about it sometimes) or is it just not popular?

3. How involved can your original character be with canon characters before it's 'too much?' Most of mine have some specific piece of lore that informs them, but it could be as minor as 'Varian arranged a trial run of the Gathering between belves and humans before he died, and my character was there' all the way up to 'My character was specifically the first of Wrathion's champions.' Is it down to the individual, or do tastes run basically the same on this?

Thank you!

Not sure how to phrase it, but a character idea of a frost mage who used their magic so excessively it killed them; but the sheer amount of magic in the ice in their veins kept them alive.

Does that make any sense?

What’s something you see a lot of Role Players get wrong when RPing an undead character? DKs included.

I’m asking because I want to better my RP as I look to main a death knight who was a fallen knight of SW.

Personally, I was hoping for an rp pvp one. I’ve been trying to find nice guilds/people, but it seems like a crazy crowd of weirdos. I’ve had people randomly use slurs in my group. It’s turned me away from playing. And sure, I know it’s not like an RP realm would be filled with saints, but I have fond memories in 2019 classic in a fun tauren rp guild. I just want to take my tauren and vibe with others in rp. I’m on Nightslayer, if anyone cares. Seems like most people are either rubbing it in on the forums that we got no rp realm, or they simply don’t care.

Hey all! This is my first post on Reddit ever, but I needed some advice/suggestions! I am a full-blown Kul Tiran purist 😂 All of my toons are Kul Tirans; I just love the look, aesthetic, culture and story of them. With that being said, I want to get into some RP with them, but I’m not sure if there is a presence of Kul Tirans already established somewhere.

And with that being said, does anyone know of any Kul Tiran specific guilds on NA - Moonguard? Or a community or what have you?

I’d love to share my characters with yall, but facing criticism from the community makes me shutter at the thought haha
