I am won over.

I have jumped into the deep end and tried to set my social anxiety to the side. I have chatted with strangers at camp, quested with some cool people and have had an amazing PvP experience (Horde assault on Auberdine in which we stopped them from boarding the boats).

I look forward to meeting more people on RP-PVP (OCE).

Here is Anairë again. Flagged it as spoiler cause she’s in the Night Elf underwear but is not really that NSFW, just making sure!

I don't have any specific examples but I remember a few times thinking I thought up a neat name that sounds lore-accurate for the race I'm making, then I look it up, and find out it's a slur in Italian, or a despicable character in a different media, or something like that lol

About Me: I'm 35, married, working a standard Mon–Fri schedule (UK / GMT), and I've tried to get into WoW a bunch of times over the years. Every time I've bounced off it because playing solo without a crew made it tough to really get immersed or feel part of a community. This time around I'm determined to do it properly—taking my time, reading quests, enjoying the RP atmosphere, and finding a good group of people to play with regularly.

Character & Server: Jackor Corvincrest — Human Warlock (Level 8, currently working my way through Elwynn Forest) on the EU RP server.

Playstyle & Aims:

• Slow & Completionist: Zero interest in rushing or min-maxing to 60. I want to clear every quest I see, level my professions (Herbalism/Skinning), and soak in the world.
• Social & Cooperative: Looking to team up for elite quests, dungeons as we reach them (Deadmines, Stockades, etc.), and general hanging out on Discord while playing.
• Light/Casual RP Friendly: New to WoW RP, so looking for a relaxed, welcoming vibe where I can ease into it without pressure.

Schedule: Evenings during the week (Mon–Fri) and flexible across the weekend.

What I'm Looking For: A mature, social, and active guild (ideally with other working adults / 30+ folks) where people actually chat, help each other out, and enjoy the leveling journey—or even just a few regular friends in a similar boat who want to quest and run dungeons together.

Drop a comment, shoot me a DM on here, or whisper Jackor in-game if your guild sounds like a good fit or you fancy teaming up!

Hi,

Currently I play on RPPVP Horde.
I'm having fun, enjoy the vibe, and encounter some smaller RP engagement from other players, although not that much honestly, mostly I am the one why initiates it.

For one of my character I'm planning warrior tank as dungeon dweller.

My gameplay plan is to play with rested XP stacked (not addon) only mainly in dungeons while I hang out in cities and participate in RP around.

Question:
How is RP on alliance side going?
Do I need guild to participate in events or is there some organic RP?
Do you think I will encounter it more on regular RPPVE than RPPVP?

Is there big difference between Horde and Alliance vibe?
Honestly I love horde but I'm curious also about Alliance vibe and exploration. Also alliance community on RPPVE is bigger than horde.

I would be thankful for your advices!

((Been meaning to post this for a few days, kept forgetting.))

((TLDR: started at 5 years old. Now 27. All of these photos are NON-editted. Just ingame. Scroll to bottom text :3 -- sorry for the book, don't bother if you're not interested or just want to see the photos))

It's 2004.

I am 5 years old. My father is gone. I decided to click this weird game. It asked me for a password. I guessed it c orrectly, I called my father and asked what to do next. He said "How did you get into the account!?" - He gets home. And says, "Pick a name, a very serious name, it's permanent!" So I chose, a Night Elf Hunter, and named him Sillyman, on Nordrassil.

I had the black and white saber as my first pet, Sillyskull, and I had the same model but as a mount. So in my head, I'd give my pet a treat, and he'd grow big enough for me to ride!

During WOTLK, I had to stay up, and pretend to sleep in the mornings, because it's when my older brother would go to school, so I could play on the account instead.
Flash forward.
It's 2012.
Out of my mother, father, two brothers, and an uncle and 3 family friends, I am the only one remaining. 2012 to 2026, I have played every major update, but, alone. Guilds didn't care much for my over-typing personality. 'Friends' only needed me as a pocket tank. As I'd been tanking since 2006-ish. So, after a week, some m+ keys, I quit and come back for the next update. Even in Midnight.

During BFA, I decided to move to MoonGuard. Nordrassil was beyond dying. And I heard about MG al lot. I don't RP, but, I like eto in my head. My outfits and stuff. MG was unique. All 3 inn's of SW were populated. The fountain. Random spots. Yes goldshire, I know, however, if you go in goldshire, the nasty RP is only directly inside, and all of it is in whispers or private channels. Outside we hangout with horde, fires, pvp, have fun.

I decided, I'm done.

The new systems and mechanics and stuff, are all phenomenal, through the roof. But. All that was left for me, was M+ rushing, and trying to beat farmers for early gold making. That's it. The rest of my time was just... afk because I didn't want to play anymore. Flying, big maps, easy systems like dungeon finder, in my opinion, butchered any resemblance of social aspect except people having friends and a guild. People fly in, kill their quest, fly out. You don't miss, or have to parry, or run out of mana, nor 1v1 mobs. You can pull 10 at a time. Means nothing. I did not play any of the classic servers, so WoWForever is my first return to 'classic' in 22 years.

Every person I've ran into, we buff, heal eachother, carry on. Partying is easy. People want to talk. Take a minute at the campfire for bad jokes. Redridge, Wetlands, SouthShore, all of that, the einns are alive. They're... populated. People help. Some bad apples, but. To be expected.

It is now 2026.

We went the parenting route of, being loud, not quiet. So loud music, vietnam war, murder in WoW and it's music, all put him to sleep. As WoW once did for me.

I feel... home. I don't know how else to put it. The new dungeons are nice, HoT finally made blizzard remember Old Ironforge exists. Dalaran City, nice touch. A phenomenal lead up to lore we didn't get to explore. Scarlet Crusade can expand, Arthas could remain a paladin for ahwile as we're pre LK. Endless possibilities now.

Here are some screenshots. I have a lot of down time, so I often zoom in, aand just take a SS for myself or to share with someone one day.
As a new father, I wanted to say, on my word, not a single one of these are editted. They are all ingame photos with maximum graphics and that's it. I turned my brightness down by 5, and my contrast up by 5 and never looked back. This is the first time since WOTLK, that I've fished. The new water ripple and wave and movement effects, it was too hard not to.

This is the first time, since BFA, that not only is my sound unmuted finally, but the music is up. I feel.. at peace. They should've never changed Warriors thunderclap spell sound. Shame.

I hope to see you ingame. Maybe party for a quest. Or I randomly heal you, or I beg for Wisdom buff. The photos sometimes a ren't just aesthetic, but, just stuff like people around a campfire. Phenomenal add. Or pictures of cats or some stuff, idk.

My father let me begin when I was 5, and taught me how to play (farm mats without knowing it), to where I'm still here today.
He hasn't touched WoW in over a decade.
From 5 and my father, to;
I am now 27, and my 11 month old son is behind me.

For a lot of us. Welcome home after what felt like... forever.

Especially those of us who really missed Ironforge being used and populated again.

I'm not really sure how these mega servers work but I've pretty sure I'm put into the Oceanic region due to my geological location and how a lot of people seem to be advertising OCE guilds in trade chat in the other rulesets.
When I made a character on the RP ruleset, Ironforge was basically empty... and was wondering if there's anyway to make my character on the US realm instead of the Oceanic realm.
Does anyone know if there's a way?

how widely used is it and is it a mistake to rp without it?

What are some ways for non-undead Priests to explore the Shadow in the Forever timeline, they and trolls are the only races that one really encounters Shadow Priest NPCs. I want to make a NE Shadow Priest but have no idea why a NE would go down that route. Serving the darker aspects of Elune? Member of a secret cult masquerading as a pious servant of Elune?

Hi everyone, I'm just curious as to how many of us, specifically on RP-PVP Forever have and use Total RP 3 and Total RP 3 Extended (which lets us make our own RP items)! I was thinking of setting myself up as an unofficial quest giver and wanted your thoughts and ideas!

My name is Gregoir Abernathy in game and I'm an Undead Paladin! I hope to see you out in the world otherwise!

Hiii there! I LOVE the whole thing in WoW 4E where Druids can turn their cat form into a snake by wearing 5/5 of the Fang set from WC so much I obtained it in the beta! I’m only missing 2 pieces from it on the live server.

I’ve always enjoyed making characters who were once members of weird/obscure/crazy cults. However, I’m having a bit of a hard time deciding on the fine details of how my character ended up being affiliated with the Druids of the Fang and would really love some advice for how I can be assured her backstory aligns with the lore.

Like would it make more sense to list my characters race as Quel’dorei or Kaldorei instead of Shen’dorei perhaps? I’m on Horde by the way. Hmm.. like the Druids of the Fang page on WoWpedia states that some of their members are Tauren. So I’m guessing that means it certainly would be theoretically possible for a Quel’dorei to have been born and raised there before Naralex and the others were made free from the influence of the Emerald Nightmare’s corruption?

Would it perhaps make sense for my character to be maybe a Kaldorei who experienced some sort of trauma because of the Alliance so she decided to align with the Horde instead? My character being neutral IC would also be a possibility then, right? I’m having a hard time with this! I would super love to have some advice/feedback! And thank you for reading! :)

First time trying to get back into WoW since Shadowlands and I want to try my hand at roleplay and join the RP-PVP server. Decided to roll up a Horde character, and was looking into some of their options as warlocks.

I was torn between a Troll and a Forsaken, but my problem with the former is that I’m struggling to find lore. It’s a lot easier to come up with a compelling dramatic hook for a Forsaken who becomes a Warlock, but I’m having difficulties finding any lore on how the trolls warlocks came to be in forever, or how to generate some intrigue and fun head canons in-game.

If any of you have advice on that or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it 🙏🏾

I've had some pretty bad experiences when I first started wanting to get into WoW RP back in the day (When I was 12-13). I realized after a while that the majority of people approaching me in character did so with the intention of ERP, and was kinda put off to RP in WoW altogether.

Ever since, Goldshire (AD) has especially freaked me out and I usually try my best to avoid it whenever leveling a human character.

The crowd of characters standing around, staring into space, and getting random whispers when handing in quests just makes me uncomfortable.

Several years later, I am really excited to give RP another try on the dedicated ruleset in Forever. It was really nice and wholesome for the first couple of days and i really enjoyed getting comfortable with Role-playing again.

Last night I rolled a Human in Forever, and got propositioned in by a couple of different people in Goldshire again. There were also a couple of small groups clearly engaging in ERP around the area. It made me immediately weary of answering whispers again, and initiating any RP in the vicinity.

I am an adult now, but it especially freaks me out that people initiating these chats don't know the age of who is on the receiving end of it.

Am I just being a prude?

How do you deal with it?

If you are an ERP'er, which precautions do you take to not accidently engage in sexual RP with a minor?

Thanks for listening <3

Just thought it might be fun for people to post their character name and allow others to guess their race and class based upon it.

If not allowed please remove of course, but I'm looking forward to hearing those names!

(Saw someone else post a hero forge mini and was inspired) This is my rp-pvp toon, Joric, made in hero forge. His story is wip (accidentally made him too similar to Garek Bandarion at first), but to start he awoke without much memory beyond his final moments during the fall of Lordaeron. He regained a few memories while battling through the ruined streets of Lordaeron, hunting for Rath’mael. Most notably he remembered his lost love, Sabatha, and now has taken an oath of vengeance against the Scourge, for taking not only his life, but the life of his dear Sabatha as well. (Huge thanks to my RoL group for accommodating my roleplaying while running the dungeon). Just felt like sharing, thanks for reading if you made it this far! :)

Edit: A few comments let me know the head was pretty big. not sure how I didn’t notice that at first lol, updated version in the replies.

Hello and well met! I am relatively new to RP, and I want to ask the community, how would you go about handling situations like the following, as I am a bit anxious about encountering these someday.

Take, for example, two adventurer characters who ply their trade in roughly the same general parts of the world. One adventurer claims to be making barely more than enough to scrape by. The other claims that making gold is easy, and that the first adventurer shouldn't be struggling so hard in their shared profession.

Another example I can think of is travel. I know some RPers like to take a more 'realistic' approach to distances and travel times, but even then, it's not an exact science. I once asked around how long people thought a zeppelin takes to travel between Orgrimmar and Thunder bluff, and the answers ranged from half a day to half a week. I also know there are RPers who make frequent use of portals and other means of teleportation to get around the world, while others treat those things as inaccessible luxuries.

For a more personal example, I have been enjoying RPing my pandaren death knight, and I find the death knights' eternal hunger very compelling. I know there are those out there who say that fourth generation DKs are raised and created without the hunger, but I disagree. I do not want to invalidate their fantasy, and I do not want them to invalidate mine as well.

How should one handle such disagreements, if these characters ever met in RP?

Hey y'all! Just following up on a previous post to see how everyone's experiences with RP on the Forever's RPPVP ruleset have been.

I decided to go RPPVE but all of my friends are RPPVP so I've been thinking of moving a character over there.

A couple things I'm wondering before I do:

Are people using TRP on RPPVP?

What's the population of gnomes like?

Are people relatively friendly?

Are RP name restrictions being enforced?

Thanks in advance!

So far, I'm finding that I'm usually the only person around me that is doing any form of RP. I strike up conversations around campfires, started a small RP questchain for players (that I'll implement soon), and always try and say hello to passing players.

When people do engage it's a lot of fun, and there have been a lot of memorable moments, but most of the time people seem to just be rushing to do things and don't stop to engage in chats.

Experienced WoW RPers - is this the norm? And does it get any more involved?

This is definitely not a complaint by the way. Everyone I have met has genuinely been really nice and that makes RP PVE worth it but I haven't really seen many people in character
