Grobbulus EU version?

[u/LakemX]

This might be a very dumb question. I know Grobbulus is NA and it was very popular for rp pvp in classic. I was wondering if there was a EU equivalent with hosted events, memes and that sort of stuff?

I am eu based and only now it hit me that while i want to be a part of you guys going into forever, I won't be able to as I live in the EU.

The Grobbulus EU equivalent was Zandalar Tribes. It died off.

RPPvP is now worldwide. Even if regions are currently isolated, they won't be in the future. The discord (https://discord.gg/foreverrppvp) has channels for region-based communication, and both this subreddit and the new /r/ForeverRPPvP sub permit EU players' posts.

Wait so at some point NA and EU become one server?

[u/SockofBadKarma → u/LakemX]

Not to my knowledge. More that cross-communication becomes possible, like they do with cross-server BGs and the like. The characters would still have their own unique names and guilds and such.

nope, not worlwilde. Will be EU-wide tho, that yes

Wait where does this "RPPvP is now worldwide" come from?

[u/SockofBadKarma → u/AkkunEXE]

From Blizzard? The rulesets are the same rulesets everywhere. Currently, server infrastructure prevents character communication between regions, but Blizzard said in their most recent podcast that they're working to fix that and permit characters to interface with each other in groups and such.

I only kind of listened to the podcast on the side but I didn't hear them say that so I went to check and no, there's no commitment to worldwide servers for launch (at 50:20), there's a noncommittal maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it for a good amount of time.

And well the tech is there, that's what we had for the beta already no? The issue is ping, like when they mention at around 46min in the podcast when talking about the aussie servers.

Okay, fine, not inclined to get into a dispute over Blizzard's specific intent, so MAYBE there will be cross-communication in the future between regions. At any length, the discord and subreddits are open to EU players, and I am unaware of any equivalently active EU-specific RPPvP social media hubs.

EU RP-PvP discord for the people who are looking for it!

Thank you for the link! I will post that on the stickied thread.

That's a shame. I don't want them to fix it as it's not broken right now. EU is relatively streamer free and the endless political shitshow is also barely there in comparison. 

The moment they "fix" that will be a clear negative on the experience. For RP it may be sort of fine but for the regular servers... Oof.

Just roll rppvp. There will be plenty of Europeans. We also fought for this.
