Greatly do they vary. That being said I think a guild fell apart over here after some serious drama came up. That is NOT my place to bring up details or a name.
Otherwise where I tend to congregate the issues are rare if any. Most drama just comes from some folks arguing about lore, or picking fights and then backing out, or some other silly banter at the end of the day. It do be a reality, but from my end of the hill? It’s been quaint.
This. End of the day, find your besties and circles. You’ll RP a huge @#$ storyline.
I’d guess this is something unintended. They are changing a lot about the game to allow for new features and the game has spaghetti code. I hope it gets figured out. They just gave an interview where they said they want to find a good balance with addons and not break what’s fun about them. So I’m guessing they weren’t trying to get this to happen.
Id be alright with TRP3 going but only if something like it was integrated into the game directly, and something blizz could then moderate better. But even saying that still feels like a fantasy. Realistically I dont think we have anything to actually worry about and TRP will still be there. It is one of the most popular addons for the game as a whole if im not mistaken.
In the inverse, leave TRP the way it is and integrate weakauras, because that is by far the bigger bandwidth waster. Although in game profiles would be pretty cool, I would hate to relearn how to do all that code again…
It honestly should be part of the game. It is really fun filling in things about your character and makes you more attached to them. A lot of people have headcanon about their characters, RPer or not.
Oh absolutely, as an altaholic I always have some headcanon for my characters, but I RP maybe 1 or two of them seriously. Im big on mog collecting because I enjoy making my characters look awesome and thematic!
Been on Moon Guard since shortly after it opened, Moon Guard got its reputation specifically because it was in Goldshire, which self-perpetuated when the server tourists would make a Human to check out the rumour then they’d log onto the MG alt to partake when not on their off-server mains. “Moon Guard is mostly ERP” is a take only by off-servers and those tourists.
Do people ERP on Moon Guard elsewhere? Sure, but they’re not ERPing in TRP. They’re using game chat for that. Sure, there’s often some art that would make a prudish puritans gasp but stumbling into an explicit TRP is a rarity outside of the place with the self-perpetuating reputation.
Microsoft isn’t forcing Blizzard to change the way addons fundamentally work to destroy single addon. We know from past examples how they fix an addon existing that they do not want you using. They start banning. Which is also what happens to those with the explicit content in TRPs, negating the need to destroy addons to remedy that, as such addon content is regulated. Its the whole reason that little ‘report profile’ button got added awhile ago.
This is most likely a PTR change, there’s been several times you just couldn’t enable addons on test servers even. If it isn’t, with the focus on raiding progression and RtWF, it’ll probably have enough huffing to be reverted once everyone realises their addons can’t sync timers and all that fun stuff anymore.
If you havn’t seen overly graphic or hypersexual descriptions or links to images of such in TRP profiles, you are either very lucky (which is possible) or not as aware about it. Like I mentioned, experiences may vary, but the issue does exist and I don’t make a habit of lying about that stuff.
Yeh… Seriously, can’t understate I am sorry to hear one too many folks put a sour taste in your mouth. We aren’t lying when we say we haven’t seen a lot of it, but we also understand that it does in fact exist.
I mean hell. I took a break when Man’ari customizations came around. That was… awful.
Perhaps I was just unlucky. If its not as widespread anymore or less, or people have to deal with it less, good for them. Don’t get me wrong im not here to dunk on MG, I know for a fact there is good there. But that doesn’t erase the bad either. Suppose its a question of perspective.
