RPPVP is by far the best server type, as it brings in world pvp, but with mostly well-adjusted humans. Also, another server will mean less layers, and layers are the absolute worst thing for classic wow. Layers are worse than, GDKP, bots, gold buyers, gold sellers, undead rogues camping redridge, etc. Even 2019 Ian Hazzicostas agreed layers were antithetical to vanilla wow.

I started my WoW journey on Sargeras, in 2004. When Burning Crusade launched a pack of my friends moved to Emerald Dream where I’ve been since. RPPVP is a special kind of community. I really don’t want to play anywhere else even though war mode and layering really killed a lot of the feels.

That’s why adding this server type to classic would be so great
 no war mode!

Please consider it, Blizz. I’d be there for sure.

The adventures had when Building a character and interweaving character motivation and gameplay allowed for truly great narratives and will be missed if there is not a realm for RPPVP

The biggest lie we were sold was that layers were supposed to be “temporary.”

RP and PvP are what make WoW, well, WoW. Why not combine the two? Maybe even have a realm dedicated to it?! Would be pretty cool, right guys?

Hey, that’s not a bad idea! Kind of like how we have realms for PvE and PvP, it makes a lot of sense to have a realm for like-minded RP folks to congregate in a friendly environment where it’s safe to assume that most of the people you interact with won’t have adverse reactions to engaging in RP! Boy that sure would take you out of your immersion if that happened. This only makes sense if you ask me, and isn’t much to ask for when we’re starting with only a couple realms off the bat!

Having one RPPVP server is BiS. Everything else is not BiS.

Come on Blizzard!

I would not mind a single RP and RP-PVP server, since those players want something out of the ordinary. Besides, limiting to one server type of each is a smart idea as everyone has their “place”, and it guarantees faction balance on PVP realms.

Morning reminder to Blizz that this needs to happen, thank you!

Afternoon reminder that DD proved there’s an appetite for sustained RP-PvP servers even when it’s just a community project, and that we can avoid mistakes made with SoD by announcing it in advance instead of after-the-fact

so basically just wait until night time to create the character on said faction. got it.

Fun Question, and everyone is welcome to reply to this!

Who was/is your favorite character to Roleplay, and why?

Anything memorable during your time RPing them?

T’was just an update, but still no word for or against the RP server. Really hoping that Blizzard sees this thread and considers adding one.

Just posting to do my part, an RP and/or RPvP server would be very nice.

I just hope that the many, many posts about those gameplay elements haven’t drowned out this one. 90 people have made nearly 500 comments here over three days, compared to the months which the original thread had to grow to the size it achieved. That is incredible imo, especially considering that this is a smaller launch than the original classic.
On the topic of the gameplay changes, I’m personally really happy ^^ was hoping to play priest, so I think both the debuff cap removal and the dual spec are going to be really nice to see.
