Welcome to the WrA forums, Funebris! We’d be happy to have you on our realm. To answer your questions…
Is open RP still findable in the Valley of Honor at/around the tavern there?
Yes and yes. That said, Horde RP also happens pretty much anywhere where someone makes the call and gathers folks. Cross-faction RP is also very popular on WrA as well.
How is Silvermoon RP? Has it gotten more or less toxic since I left? One of the reasons I left was due to a falling out with the Blood Elf noble house RP guild I was in due to them openly being homophobic and racist in the guild chat.
It flared back up earlier this year then fizzled out again. I’m unsure what led both to the flare or fizzle. I participated it in a bit and had fun some nights.
Are there any open invite RP events I should know about that may serve as a good introduction to RP for my friend?
There are so many. Check out the largest WrA RP event calendar on the Wyrmrest Community Project Discord: https://discord.gg/wrawcp. We’re 1550+ members strong and a great place to find a guild, open events, and network with fellow WrA roleplayers.
Is the community welcoming to members of the LBGTQ+ community?
Extremely, at least in the circles I run in (my guild, friend’s guilds, and the WCP).
If you have additional questions about Horde or Allianceside RP here, don’t hesitate to ask.
