One Roleplayer's opinion to improve things in WoW - #1. Enhancing Character Creation

I see a lot more time spent on 5 mans and raiding over rp

So what?

You do not play with every single player so your personal experience is irrelevant.

@Rotospin-stormrage

it’s a small fraction that rp vs anything else

Again, citation needed.

I’m already attatched to my toon. I’m knee deep gearing for it at this point. Well 3 toons

Noted, further discussion would be a waste of resources. Have a good evening!

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

As a non-rper I even want a lot of this stuff. Especially subraces and more customization. I’d fill out a bio for my character.

The game is a MMORPG afterall.

All I can read is the PvPers nightmare

Perfect.

If these options were needed blizzard would have added them already

In the Character Information section we should have the following categories to fill out-

1. Surname
2. Nickname
3. Birthplace
4. Residence
5. Age
6. Hobbies - Suggested by Silverleigh
7. Loyalties - Suggested by Silverleigh
8. Physical Description
9. Personality Description
10. Character Biography

No. I don’t want to have to fill out a form and write an essay everytime I want to start a new character. There are RP addons for that.

Also, be careful what you want the WoW team to invest their resources in. More resources allocated for things that are too specific, minor or stupid means less investment and development in all other areas of the game.

You clearly didn’t read my post or you read too fast.

@Tãmz-sisters-of-elune

Roleplay Sheet that we can EITHER fill out when creating our Characters before jumping into the game, OR we can fill out later in game via the Character panel in a “Roleplay” tab (OR just leave it all blank forever if you’re not interested in Roleplay at all.)

At no point did I say it HAD to be filled out. If implemented the way I suggested (and if possible of course), you would never have to touch it if you did not want to.

@Tãmz-sisters-of-elune

Why is this all needed if Roleplayers can use addons like Total RP3 & MyRolePlay?

The objective of this suggested feature IS NOT TO REPLACE OR OUTLAW THE USAGE OF ANY ROLEPLAY ADDDONS. The objective of the Roleplay Sheet should be to provide Players an alternative option to using Roleplay Addons and that is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY to engage in the usage of should they choose to do so.

As an individual who uses Total RP3 myself, the Roleplay Sheet would simply be a backup for the likes of me should Total RP3 or some other Roleplay addon some how no longer be an option for me to use. But, for a Roleplayer that does not like to use Roleplay Addons, they would have something they can use in game if they CHOOSE to do so.

See? Even more attempts being made to show that I do NOT want this to be something mandatory for Players to fill out.

I am well aware.

[Elettra-wyrmrest-accord (Elettra)]

Fair enough. I’d rather their resources be invested more into character customization and fun things to do and collect in the current and future expansion instead of specific Roleplaying forms and spreadsheets or whatever but that’s just me.

[Tãmz-sisters-of-elune]

There is a lot I would like to see as well outside of just these things (as I said to Silverleigh; This is ultimately only the tip of the iceberg for me right now.) So I get where you’re coming from. One thing I attempted to avoid doing in the post was put any sort of date of implementation request in, though I should look back over the original post to make sure I didn’t do it.
