Patch 8.1 and Cross-Faction Roleplay

Alright so before anyone forgets, these are the restrictions for the Cross RP addon:

  • It disables itself in Battlegrounds and arenas.
  • It disables itself on non-RP realms.
  • It intentionally doesn’t automatically “connect,” meaning that you will never see cross-faction chat without your consent.
  • You need to be in the same community with people you are roleplaying with, meaning that this is meant for groups of friends, or at the very least, like-minded people.

These have a huge amount of restrictions outside of RP realms… and for a good reason. People who are in these particular realms play the game in another way, which is RP, or Roleplay for those that are wondering what that is. It’s another way that people have found a way to enjoy the game and to interact with the other players outside of the game’s mechanics and evolve a different story.

Tournament of the Ages is one of those big events in the realm that people interact with one another. The Cross Faction RP helps break the language barrier from the other faction so we can RP with the other faction. It has proven to be a success and it was one of the best addons for RP in general. Reconsider it if it was intentional and if it wasn’t, help out the RP community as a whole and have this back up again. RP communities is more than just a fight between the Alliance and the Horde. Sometimes, there’s something more to it and it helped out.
