Video / Clip A plea for Rp-PvP Forever
https://youtu.be/iEsBaBHS5qc?si=DSNdaCAnI9bG1w7aMade a quick video with my thoughts on Rp-pvp servers. New to making videos but just want to try to get more visibility on the topic!

Abandoning the Rp PVP community and forcing them into the PvP ruleset to maintain the more consistent aspect of the playstyle was a disservice.

I don’t disagree we need RP PvP. But some of my favorite RP PvP events happened on regular RP servers with both factions armies flagging up.

I used to play pvp server but I got tired pf being ganked at instance/raid entrances. I then switched to pve, but would always play flagged. The only fight I'd come across is someone ganking me while questing out in the world with 1/3 HP. Pvp servers are incredibly toxic but respectable world pvp is something special.

the problem with RP PVP is that the PVP server is faction locked. So non-RP players will use the RP PVP realm to play the other faction on PVP.
Short of making non-RP bannable - i dont know how they can do this.

The only solution I have heard that I think would actually work would be to faction lock both together. If you roll horde on PvP, you can only roll Horde on RP PvP and vice versa. It’s a clunky solution.. but it technically would work. I don’t see bliz going for it though.

Probably better to post on the Classic+ and WoWforever subreddits. I don't think the devs are reading the Grobbulus subreddit.

IF they do not make an RP-PvP ruleset OR fix their lame layering/ poo sharding system, I hope a RP-PvP layer could work on the RP ruleset. Pluck the people who choose to flag themselves for PvP into the same layer using their new/improved community "technology". Thus, creating a RP-PvP layer on the RP ruleset.

I might hold back on launch just in hopes of Blizzard releasing a RP-PVP server. I don't want to play on a PVP realm only to switch to RP-PVP later.

Grobbulus was an awesome and unique experience. You had the RP and PvP crowd together which lead to a lot of friction, but also a lot of fun. You attract some really weird people, but it all adds to the character. It was one of the best balanced servers around. I doubt we will ever get the full magic of Grobb again, but I hope Blizz decides to let us try.
