With the recent spike in RP on twitch, it has me really wanting to sink my teeth into RP in WoW. I’m looking for a good guild that does RP of life in Azeroth. Good immersions and focuses on living that characters life. Does such a thing exist? I’ll join your realm/ guild today! Lemme know!
These do exist! these are usually Guilds that either rp in the main city, or have their own cities/towns that they rp in. Find for guild that are either about striving towns, markets, noble houses, or even about clergies/covens!
your best bet is to find for them in character, try walking around stormwind (specifically in places like the cathedral district) during peak times, you would usually see a few guilds recruiting (look for the people that are standing around with their respective banners/colors) You might find some good rp yourself too
Rp is great fun! The realm you choose would be a choice between the rp servers currently in medium to high population.
Each server has its good and bad points. I myself prefer a smaller more friendly community rather than a huge server full of people griefing rp. Yes it happens, do not deny it.
Before anyone else warns you, Moon Guard is a popular server for rp, as is Wyrmrest Accord. Both have lots of rpers. Walk up rp is about the best way to judge the general community attitude.
Some advice:
- If you are squeamish about adult themes and wish to avoid them, stay out of Goldshire on Moon Guard.
- Take a look at the realms forums before you roll there and ask around for new rper guidance.
- Roll a starter character on each rp realm and do some checking around BEFORE you spend real life money transferring.
- Take a look at a good rp guide here on the WET froums and get an idea of what to do to create a memorable character. (Hint: stay simple to start with)
- Give it time, have patience and do not think all rpers are the same when you run into some you don’t like.
- Create your character with room for expansion, don’t paint yourself into a corner with complicated background.
- Don’t be shy, rp happens when you take a bit of initiative. Walk up to people, talk to them, be friendly and willing to listen. Give them time to type out a response.
I am sure others will have helpful advice for beginners.
