How many dwarves does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to hold the bulb and another to drink until the room starts spinning.

Day 39
I have done this for more days than are left until the reckoning. To think in 38 days Azeroth will be ours.
The only question that remains: Will we have a RP PVP home? I think we will. The overlords surely couldn’t overlook us.

Everyone is talking about what they are planning to make.
What about our lovely folks here?
What class are you making? Do you have a story prepared for them? A personality? Or are you remaking a character from retail?

Kurwen will be remade, as a Night Elf Druid. Still working on some backstory for him this go round. Might even work in his prior life as a warrior to explain his drive to be feral (mainly bear).
Also planning on a gnome rogue, already have a name, and he will be a privateer turned hired mercenary who is always looking out for himself first, customer (alliance/SI: 7 in this case) second.

Note to self: If I want to live… avoid this particular gnome…

Early on I was going to make a Forsaken Warlock, but, I’ve pretty well settled on an Orc Rogue. I didn’t play one in vanilla.

Definitely. He will have a red=dead mentality baked into his story. My Druid on the other hand… I think will be a bit more peace loving. Kinda like a hippy… er… Druid.
Thinking they will start with a strict no violence towards all who praise Elune/Earthmother… so no attacking druids or shamans. Slowly work it so I can/will attack them under certain circumstances.

My plan was to make a human paladin aiming for a tank build, but that ICly she’d be a half elf, so she’d have actual IC social barriers to pile up on the OOC fact that, gameplay-wise, paladins are not good main tanks and are often left behind if they’re not healers.
I wanted to blend gameplay aspects with how her character would work - always trying her best, failing a lot but never giving up on her dream. She has a noble soul and wants to prove to others, but mostly herself, that she is capable of being a protector, a worthy warrior that is ready even for the ultimate sacrifice for the goal of protecting her loved ones and the Alliance. But I also wanted her to be weak, to have a lot of difficulties and challenges to face that would always test her mettle and determination.
I still hold this concept dearly in my heart and even planned a backstory for her, but I don’t know how others would feel about the half elf thing and it wouldn’t be the same on a PvE RP realm, so I hope Blizzard helps me out in that one thing they can do for Classic and us.
Which is providing RP-PvP realm(s) from the start ![:sparkling_heart:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/sparkling_heart.png?v=6" ":sparkling_heart:")

I am probably going to main a human warrior, who will be duo’ing with a holy paladin. Probably go with a simple story for them that builds upon itself. Friendly until you wrong her, then all bets are off (for same faction).
I am going to do (my best) to not alt myself to hell and back. WoW seems to be the only game that makes me do this, but my alt, when my duo partner is offline will be a Rogue, she’ll probably be strategist who takes on missions. Background unknown.
Alts I will be resisting but ultimately fail:
Human Mage
Night Elf Hunter
Paladin

I don’t want to alt myself I just know that no matter what character I roll I will miss aspects of others. For a rogue I will hate not being able to tank and find groups with ease. For a Druid/warrior or any other class that isn’t a rogue, I will hate not being a rogue…

She sounds like a wonderful character! Most ‘unique’ characters have that stereotypical stigma of drama-prone OOC people, which why I understand your reluctance with that aspect.
I say go for it! Stigma be damned, its the person behind the character that makes the experience wonderful and I look forward to coming across her!
(I love unique characters)

94.66% repeating of course certain Tauren druid. First class ever and never got past Wailing Caverns. Want to start over.

Honestly, I don’t see the harm in having at least one of every realm type at the start and then they can assess the situation from there.
RPers in classic will probably be an even small % of the player base than it is in the current game, so Ion is probably right in that RP-PvP is very niche, but it should at least have a chance. If it ends up being a dead server, they can always offer free transfers off.

I managed to get my entire College group to come roll with me on Maelstrom Horde side when it launched. Not all of them were RPers, but plenty were interested in dabbling and enjoyed the atmosphere. One person even rolled the brother of my Troll Shaman.
I loved that server with all the battles, story circles, and RP. Being able to RP out the AQ gates opening and having to begrudgingly get along with the Alliance was a blast. Even made friends with a Dwarf Paladin who snuck my toll into Ironeforge.
Many of my fondest memories were on Maelstrom and I stayed there from Vanilla until I decided to finally give Alliance a shot when WrA came out.
I haven’t played since MoP but now? Now I want to come back to that old game I sunk so much time into, where PvP was my life and RP added a whole new element of immersion and story building behind those PvP skirmishes.
C’mon Blizz, do the right thing. PvP servers don’t even exist anymore, the least you can do is give the RP community back one RP-PvP server in Classic.
