Hi all,
My wife and I are looking for another RP server to settle into. We have some characters on Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord, but both are a little too heavily populated for our tastes and WrA is 3 hours behind us (we are EST timezone) so it was very hard to find events. We'd prefer something still somewhat active but less crowded. We have characters on both Horde and Alliance side, so this question is from a perspective of both factions. I am relatively new to RP, only a few months, but my wife has been RPing in various mediums for nearly 20 years.
1) Population wise how is ED? I just hopped onto the game and saw it was "Full" which usually indicates very large; it has to be smaller than MG and WrA though right?
2) Since this is/was a RP-PVP server, that means most people have War Mode on, correct? We are okay with that (my wife does PVP sometimes and while I haven't done more than BGs in the past, I don't mind it)
3) This is a CST server right? That would be 1 hour behind us (same as Moon Guard). Around what times do events happen, if there are events? Or for RP guilds around what time do they tend to congregate? This was a major issue on WrA since most thing were late evening PST time which was around the time we both were getting ready for bed. The EST RP servers (from what I can tell these are Earthen Ring, Argent Dawn, Steamwheedle Cartel and Ravenholdt) all seem to be dead or have little to no RP.
4) How is the RP community on both factions? As I said we have toons across factions (I prefer Horde now however; my wife dabbles with both frequently). Are there a variety of guilds? I am finding that most of the servers other than MG and WrA are dwindling as far as RP goes with most of them going to those. MG and WrA are not such appealing options for us to stay on as I indicated above.
I've read the "Thinking About Emerald Dream" post, and from lurking a bit on the forums people seem friendly. We are mostly casual at the moment (I used to be mainly into PVE years ago but gave that up in WoD). We (me especially) am also waiting eagerly for Classic WoW.
Thanks for any replies :)
Greetings friend, hope i can help you out with some of your questions
1) ED is a very populated server with about a 50/50 H/A ratio. Sharding and Warmode makes it seem like it's Horde dominated and that may be due to more Horde flagging Warmode?
2)We are a well rounded server and you will find all playstyles here, RP, PvE and of course PvP
3)Yep server is CST, I'm EST myself and there is plenty to do and ppl to group with at prime time
4)RP here is awesome but maybe not what you're used to on MG or WrA. Alliance side, there are almost nightly events but not the easy to find walk up of the other servers. Horde has great RP guilds as well but i bleed blue so i'm not to familiar with them. Redwood Tribe, Blackrock Clan, Hellscream's Angels are some notable ones but there are plenty more.
Good luck and just a little plug. Alliance side a few guilds are working together to strengthen our faction, you mentioned your wife like PvP.

Stongbow pretty dead on, may wish to check out our discord in the communities sticky above and get to know the players, guilds there as well as their opinions as well to see if you both click with anyone
There is an ed ally rp and a ed horde rp discord
Also walkup is harder to find, but if you begin it, it pops up quick

Welcome to ED!
Strongbow pretty much covered it. Check out the Alliance RP Discord:
https://discord.gg/9kjuD6P and say Hi!
Lots of guilds there and nice folks who will answer guild specific questions you may have.

Speaking to the wife I think we may transfer two of our lower level (mid/late 90s) Horde characters here and see how things go.
Finding horde side RP groups will definitely be more challenging than alliance RP from what I've seen. It not that it doesn't happen, but there are a lot more horde side guilds invested in the wpvp/pvp side of the server. Check us out though. The amazing thing about our server is that its the largest 1:1 ratio server blizzard has ;)
Come come!
