Ohhh, sorry! :speak_no_evil:

Was just getting a bit concerned about having to grind out IO in order to RP :weary:

That’d be hilarious! But insane all at the same time. LOL

I’m going to RP from here on out as a tank.

I will tank.

Absolutely UNCALLED FOR.
Pretty sure this is going to destroy the roleoplay community, honestly.
Real talk, though, I’m livid.
I can’t believe it, things are now just going to get so much worse.
Like, I’m shaking right now, I’m that upset.
Frankly, I’m going to write to them in complaint.
Only this time, I’m not going to be nice about it.
Obviously the only way to get through to them is to use strong language.
Literally, at this point I think I’m going to quit for good.
Sincerely hope others are about as upset as I am right now.

So April first, and all that, i get it…

But how would rpIO even work?!? How is this even a borderline believable April’s Fool’s joke?!?

A mandatory RP rating system in the roleplay profiles; thus far there is an optional one, of course, but an “io” would make it required and likely have those categories.

Would RPing as the child of Wrathion and Anduin who is also a death knight and part murloc and has an inexplicable desire to stand around the Cathedral being emo get you a negative score?

How would having mechanical body parts be scored? Ooo - oo - if your description mentions more than 25 individual visible while in armor scars, would that be a bonus of some sort, or actually lower your score?

Would a night in Moon Guard Lion’s Pride Inn or Murder Row count as an end game raid.

Of course I’m drifting off topic, but has anyone yet seen a profile claiming a character was Azeroth and Magni’s secret love child? Because if that’s not a thing yet, now that I mentioned it, I just know it’s totally going to be a thing.

Olord. LOL

WHAT! This en-justice will not go de-answered!

You guys wait here, I’m gonna go find a certain shaman and we are gonna petition until our rpIO scores can be set to private, and avoid being cyberbullied by the RP elite!

I have no idea, but real talk, ACTUAL REAL TALK, if something like it existed, it could unfortunately be abused by someone who dislikes you. AKA they pay a guild to tank your score, do it on a ton of alts, or what have ya. Luckily it’s just a silly joke ^^

What a slap in the face.

Barely related, but I miss when MRP was the most popular RP addon on my server. TRP has so much bloat and it’s not as compatible as people seem to think it is with other RP addons. If you choose the wrong template your stuff just won’t show up to MRP/xRP users.

And the UI for it is just clunky in comparison.

MRP with the “at a glance” buttons would be ideal for me. Just anchor them to the target frame instead of their own UI element.

It’d actually be bonkers, I can picture it now

“Sorry, you’ve only completed a +4 Silvermoon RP and this is a +6. Git gud first scrub”

Well I just found out there is an LFR I.O. score now so now LFR heroes will be grouped together now based on their LFR I.O.

Nevermind the Dead Meme Trolling Profile.

I’ve had the RP IO Disabled; due to the constant Lua Errors.
