I’ve been to all the cities. Org only has wyrvens tail, ppl in silvermoon may as well be statues, tb is usually empty. The surrounding zones are empty. Dal… I just dont like dalaran… everything is just empty.
You’d think it’d be easy for an elf in full blood knight gear (mogged, btw. Thanks rbgs)…
Then I got super salty about the lore so I quit and went to classic, but I’m bad at meeting people so eventually my sub just ran out
In the words of Kevin Hart: “You gotta be part of your OWN RESCUE!”
What? Idk. Suggestions:
Make a “Seeking RP partners” post here on the forums. May make you some new friends!
Keep an eye out for server events and go to them. Then make friends.
Join a guild! When I was with the Vol’kar, I don’t think I sought out/participated in any random walk-up/tavern RP the entire time…because I never felt the need. I was able to get all the amazing RP I could ever want just from guild events and friendships made w/ other guild members.
Here’s a directory of currently active Horde guilds to help you out: WrA Information & Directories (Guilds | Communities | Events)
The RP is out there. It’s not just in cities or taverns. There are people out and about who would more than welcome a walk up. If you only go to taverns, you’ll only experience tavern RP. I bumped into someone out in Voldun who joined me while I was fishing and we shot the sheet.
I just spent a couple of hours in the Brawl’gar Arena. Honestly, I spend more time there than the Tail these days- cutting IC business deals and RP’ing this character as a wealthy spectator/patron willing to invest in promising new prizefighters, bribing others to take dives, etc.
I’ve coached people through countless fights (IC and OOC), have made enough Brawler’s Gold to currently have about a dozen VIP passes, and yet she’s never even participated in a single brawl.
I agree with this. And the Warmode bit reminded me of the fact that I have legit had someone whisper me angrily on an alt that they aren’t in Warmode to PvP and to leave them alone.
…which of course makes me pvp them harder until they leave or bring folks to kill me back.
You enter Warmode, you’re asking for it as far as I’m concerned (and that applies to me too I know what I’m getting into in Warmode)
If we had the type of pvp gear we had in WoD I think that it would be pretty good for War Mode. The gear in this expansion is awful in my opinion, I pretty much share all the complaints that everyone else has said. The essences are pretty cool in pve but pvp is made even more wonky.
I do think that War Mode is a good addition to the game in a terrible expansion.
I don’t know how anyone could see Tamanii’s sunglasses and think this isn’t the best server. Look at the style you can find on Wyrmrest Accord!
There’s a lot of different RP to be had. If the type of RP you want isn’t apparent, then make it so. There’ll be people to join in. The RP community is friendly and diverse.
Certainly wouldn’t suggest the server is “dead” in any way. Hope if you do decide to join us that you enjoy your time and have lots of fun.
I’ve been on the server about a year and a half - which isn’t long considering I’ve played since '05 - but I think it seems generally nice. I know people here, anyway. And the Vulpera Hype Caravan community, even if I parted ways with their official guild (that community is what brought me to WrA originally)
I have had some problems, recently, to be honest. Been spit on several times - presumably because of my race. Maybe it’s supposed to be good RP but, when you start being cruel to random people, maybe it’s going a little to far. I just don’t know.
But most people on WrA seem nice enough and I never had any issues playing my Worgen or other non-Vulpera there. They do seem to have numerous events and such. Stumbled upon a Vulpera welcoming event in Durotar just the other day, by accident, but missed most of it (kinda wish that spirit had caught on more elsewhere. Heh)
BFA has had some of my favourite Forsaken RP events ever - the debate series’ and rallys regarding Sylvanas and her rule have been truly impressive, and engaging. Not all rp is tavern rp that’s for sure.
It’s doin well! Like some people said, it’s a lil quieter. But theres still plenty of activity. Theres a lot of event discords to join, always check here and tumblr is a great place of event advertisement if you want to know of some stuff happening.
And the more people are negative nancies and drive people away doesn’t help those who feel it’s quiet! Welcome people in, get to know them, make it worth while and find the love and enjoyment you seek.
Theres a lot good advice here, just take it slow. WRA will be here when you wish to give it ago!
The extra rewards, gear and abilities in War Mode makes things a lot easier for PVE.
I don’t usually actively PVP, but always have War Mode on for the previously mentioned perks. But of course I’m an opportunist, and won’t turn down a PvP kill if it furthers my quest kill count goals. Else, it’s just wasting my time, and I have better things to do.
But if you really have nothing better to do. By all means, camp that corpse.
