Hello all! So I am getting kind of bored of the SW RP scene and was wondering if on WrA we have any hot spots for RP.
I know Duskwood is a big spot for RP but I feel it tends to be darker themes which I am not into it. Dalaran I thought would have a lot more but the few times I go I dont really find all that many people, but it has been awhile since I tried. Hearthglenn I know has a lot of cross faction RP events same with Pandaria but not sure how many people just hang out there. I have heard Booty Bay and Ratchet are great spots but have not tried them out all that much yet.
Sounds like you’ve pretty much got it.
In my experience, you can usually bump into someone from the other faction RP’ing somewhere in Crystalsong Forest Dalaran, Booty Bay, or the Jade Forest in Pandaria. Pretty much every larger RP event is cross faction these days too, so that’s a great place to meet new people.
But the numbers and amount of walk-up RP in any one given spot will never match what you can find in Orgrimmar/Silvermoon or Stormwind.
I do a lot of cross faction and sadly there is not really a hub unless its planned. But Pandaria and Booty Bay are two very big places you’ll find cross faction RP. Whenever we hold events though, theyre usually in the theme of cross faction neutral!
There was an attempt a few times to try and get Dalaran to be used as a new hub. But the focus is usually around the cafe
Occasionally you’ll get a bit in Legion Dalaran, in the coffee shop or at the Antonidas statue. I’ve seen most of it at Booty Bay though. Unfortunately however, I’ve not actually seen walk up crossfaction RP often. It’s pretty rare - the best bet is to try to organise it with some folks honestly.
I swore Dawn’s Blossom would become a hub once Pandaren were able to converse cross-faction, but alas, it never came to be. But perhaps it is time we became the change we wish to see in the world?
So update on this. I have found RP in all the places listed above, I would say Booty Bay had the most but only late at night. That being said I ran into one MAJOR problem…
So many people dont have potion of tongues…I think with this cross faction RP will just never really have a hub or as big following as SW or Org and SM because its just too much of a hassle for people. Until Blizz makes a zone specifically for both factions to come together, this is not going to happen.
I reckon the way to get it going would be to try to make a habit of it - perhaps it’d be worth trying to organise a regular crossfaction event of some sort?
A recurring tavern night with rotating host duties?
The tricky part of creating any sort of non-aligned hub (event) is finding a regularly available location that is open to both factions and also safely accessible to lower level characters.
Gadgetzan!
Moonglade was a hub for a while, it would be nice to see it become one again.
I’m considering a cross-faction fight club thing once I figure out my work schedule.
I am interested in this! I want to get more practice with emote fighting. (Unless you meant PvP duels?)
It’ll have a focus on PvP duels to give PvP players a place to practice/learn, but RP duels will be very encouraged as well for those uncomfortable with it.
Potentially can have both going at the same time depending on how large the hubs are.
I’m starting a weekly cross-faction casual RP in Moonglade every thursday at 6 pm server if you’d like to check it out. Just whisper me!
