I’m 248 ilvl PvP and roughly 225 in PvE gear.
I am just a humble Mistdancing monk looking for something less dull and droll like walking around aimlessly in Stormwind and get some character progression going…
I’m not sure if I am doing this right, I’m a tad shy and trembling lightly as I type this.
Thanks for reading.
One great way to find roleplay engagement (aside from randomly walking around looking for it) is to attend one of the many regular public RP events. Many are listed on the forums here. But off the top of my head, a few include:
the GNews at Gnine… a nightly news broadcast done town crier style in Lion’s Rest park, Stormwind (mage quarter side by the fountain/apple tree). Every night at 9-9:30 p realm time, people IC gather to listen to news stories of RP happenings around the Stormwind area, advertisements for guilds and events, nightly cooking segment, etc.
Stormwind Weekly Market… every Monday 7:30 - 9:30 p at the Stormwind Harbor Overlook (outside Cathedral Square, just past the transmog heading towards the harbor). RP vendors and entertainers set up an open-air market and tons of people RP shopping and enjoying a farmer’s market style atmosphere.
Stormwind Job Fair… 3rd Sunday of every month at 8p, same location at the Stormwind Weekly Market above. Reps from RP organizations/vendors/guilds set up job fair booths and RPers looking to find a guild (in an in-character way) can browse around and see who is hiring/recruiting.
There are also special public RP events held often (you can see them here on the forums or at the Moonguard and Wyrmrest Accord Events discord (https:// discord.gg/NJPsBwdbhq) < no spaces.
One coming up in 2 weeks is the Pandaren New Year (aka Chinese New Year) public RP festival my guild hosts every year in Pandaria (open to all races and factions). Details on that here: ( Pandaren New Year (Chinese New Year) <Cross-Faction, Public RP event> - Moon Guard - World of Warcraft Forums (blizzard.com)
Bless your Pandaren heart.
Those are all great sources as Mailang listed!
In the open world, our good friends at the Umbral Serpent Syndicate run The Serpent’s Den tavern in Duskwood, Tuesday from 6pm-8pm server! Blackwater Company opens a tavern on Tuesday nights in Tol Barad from 7pm-9pm as well! Both are great melting pots of people and can help you make personal connections before diving feet first into a guild!
On top of all that, the newspapers! We have good publications running amok and all have great discords to meet people in!

What kind of RP are you looking for? People are very responsive on the forums with ideas as well. For instance, The Blackwater Company was formed as a mercenary, trading company with some strong ties to a darker side of business. As the company grew it began to acquire ships from the Kul Tiran people being a group that was not limited by Alliance rules. The company was founded on the belief that anyone can turn opportunity into business from dockworkers to mercenaries. We are pirates, privateers, mercs, whatever people want to call us!
