Good evening! My name is Thomas Bates and I’ll be your guide to why the walk-up scene on Wyrmrest is now inexplicably centered in Duskwood. Spoilers, it’s all my fault.*
So back in the days of Legion and BfA, the server’s walk-up was centered around Stormwind, much like it is on MG. Back in those days, people lamented that there was no reason to go out into the world to rp. So I made a little ghost knight to patrol Duskwood, because that’s what I enjoy doing! We got a few regulars going, some who have gone and some who have stayed like any community does.
But then came Shadowlands. And then came the ABK Scandal in the middle of Shadowlands. Lots of Wyrmrest’s population, both Alliance and Horde, either left the game entirely or moved to MG as the population on the server went into a temporary death spiral. Stormwind rp still hasn’t recovered, though there have been efforts to help reignite it. (and weekly bar nights on Thursdays!)
Meanwhile in Duskwood, I decided to stick around and continue to do my thing during the crisis. And because of that, a few of my friends stuck around as well. And because there was still a small core group there every night, Duskwood’s rp scene has bounced back before Stormwind’s has. Now there’s a few guilds in Duskwood and an even larger core of regulars!
We rp in Duskwood in the evenings, are cross-faction friendly, and usually start around 6pm server time if you ever wanna join us! Or if you want to stay updated with the server in general, join the Wyrmrest Community Project discord!
