Requests like player housing, last names, in game marriage, posing like NPCs, etc have all been ignored… it took us forever to finally get some new customization. Better add another raid tier/curate more content around the MDI.
It’s so insulting how behind WoW, the biggest RPG, is in roleplaying compared to other RPGs.
Role players are apart of your player base too! Please stop ignoring us.
The RP community has enough drama without adding things like in game marriage. The rest of that stuff seems fine, but really the main problem with the game’s RP right now is the actual plotline/story of the game.
The game development theory of “we have cool things we want to show, we just need to get characters from here to there” without any real thought for character interaction (or even attempt to make character reactions make sense) - as well as the odd focus on ‘equality’ between factions instead of a proper back and forth (which ironically makes any faction interaction seem one sided in one faction’s favor constantly) make things pretty rough for any sort of RP to continue without outright ignoring it all and doing one’s own thing.
Moonshire is a well known Draenei and Worgen Female SUPERPOWER that will BLOT OUT THE SUN with our TRP3 profiles, MWUHAHAHAH!
Seriously though… non garbage races could be cool tho. Or some more lore expansions. I mean the players are like 30x more diverse than whatever they give us. Imagine if Anduin was on a bloodthirsty cooking spree to add Tauren beefburgers and 100 year dried aged forsaken burgers to his menu, while Tyrande ripped off her arm sleeves and started Punching saurfang in the face. Magni Bronzebeard would scream, and on his FLYING MOTORCYCLE pick up hagrid and 1000 ales and go punch DEATHWING IN DA FACE!
Horde meanwhile, would have a giant war campaign about a hyper intelligent black gorillas to teach him the art of eating rocks so he could conquer the world, while their whole entire storyline would focus about being Alliance Sympathsizers and driving Genn Graymane to suicide through sheer incompetence. I think that’d make a good mmo story.
Player housing has been one of the most requested additions to the game since WoW’s launch. The only reason you dont see more of it is cause many people who want it has just given up.
Not me, they are already filled with non-roleplayers and players there to troll roleplayers, the last thing they need is another wave of these players.
So you’re saying the average player who is the leader of their order hall, has defeated many world ending threats and so much more should be homeless?? Where does that even make sense?
Aviela, why do you keep making these terrible threads acting like you’re some kind of bastion for people?
Blizzard responds to the RP community fairly often. CRZ in major cities? The RP community lost their minds and Blizz responded in under 24 hours. Tournament of Ages had problems involving phasing? Blizz responded in under 12 hours.
Just because they aren’t implementing things that are, frankly, unnecessary doesn’t mean they’re ignoring us. Last names? Covered by TRP and unnecessary. Player housing? Something Blizzard doesn’t wanna implement. In game marriage? Why? TRP allows you to proclaim your marriage no fuss no muss.
And yes, a raid tier is more important. I’m a member of the RP community too. And I find this to be completely insane.
