What Tovi said. Lot of misconceptions going around. Might be OP’s experience, but certainly isn’t the majority.
People need to use their own judgement and check it out for themselves if interested. Or just not bother thinking for yourself, that’s the lazy way out.
Then don’t?
My experience with MG’s inn is this: people in slutmogs standing around eerily silent, except one or to people rambling nonsensically on end.
Not even that bad, tbh. The MRPs are where things get spicy, and even then a lot of them have gone the “tastefully erotic” route with nothing explicit in them. I mean, of course you’ll have your gender-confused Draenei findoms with no shame, but the mix is more interesting than it is vile to the core.
Ugh, another person who thinks we are all the goldshire folks of moon guard…
Even goldshire on our server is mostly empty!
I’m only familiar with the dwarven community. They have regularly scheduled events which they’ve outlined in here plus a chatroom to join (I have seen non-dwarves attend so I don’t think it’s exclusive or anything like that – they do seem to know each other though):
I would eyeball the Wyrmrest Accord forum for other events you may be interested in.
You can try WRA and trade the ERP players for pretentious and judgmental ones.
Up side is most of the time they wont say anything to your face, they will just ignore you and move on.
Its true. When I first joined Moon Guard, I thought Goldshire was the only place one could find RP.
Back then, there was never more than 20ish people there, and about 12 out of those 20 people were actually people RPing, with only a few weird dancers.
Youtube is a powerful force though, and Goldshire has become a victim of its own fame.
So I was helping Saurfang avert capture at that little farm in Swamp of Sorrows, happened to walk in and there were 3 blood elves in bed together.
I was like…Saurfang…really? He was cool with it so, whatev.
Totally not kidding, they were from a realm that not shall be named though it rhymes with Bloom Shard.
I hate these threads, but they’re at least better then you tourists coming into trade chat going ‘what’s the deal with Goldshire??? what do they do there?’ hoping we say ‘ERP’ so you can giggle.
Yes it is.
What are we “leaching,” exactly? The amazing progression found on these servers? Or is it pvp? Please, enlighten me.
Make me.
Except it’s not like that at all. A D&D group is there for one thing: D&D. You can still raid, pvp, achievement hunt, pet/mount collect, etc. etc. on a RP server.
Why wouldn’t they? You’re the only one with a problem.
Alliance avoid it aswell, and you know it.
But at this point, the majority of people in Goldshire are off-server trolls.
I’m terribly sorry. I stopped reading after the 10th reply so I might be repeating something someone has already said.
I can’t speak for other servers, but there is tonnes of RP in Moon Guard. If you hang around outside the Blues Recluse and the Slaughtered Lamb in Mages district around late afternoon/evening server time, and The Park (Lion’s Pride) and outside the Cathedral around the same time, there are so many characters engaged in I think what you’re describing as real RP (i.e. players living out their fantasy characters in-game).
Character guards patrolling the street, in-game characters recruiting other in-game characters with no out-of-character stuff, and recently, lots of Kul Tiran characters where I’m seeing some players mimick pretty good accents and mannerisms that I would expect of people recently arriving in mainland (i.e. freaking out at seeing mages dressed a bit like witches lol).
My issue is that some of these characters can be rather clique-esque. As a new player, I can see that it might be a bit hard to penetrate into the meat of the RP (i.e. RP stories evolving out of several people). But if you strike enough casual in-game friendships, it tends to happen eventually ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Also, my big tip is to just walk up! Lots of people are actually very, very eager to be walked up.
If you like, you can even send me a mail in-game.
Don’t be. I think we all got trolled. The OP never replied after the initial post which usually means they weren’t serious.
Aw!
Oh well! At least someone (i.e. you) read my post. lol
A few fallacies I think need to be cleared up here:
It’s not just ERP people hanging out in GS on MG. Do you people not see all of the people hanging around outside dueling and PvPing when the horde show up?
RPers from that neck of the woods can and do raid and do other things. They are not exclusive activities.
Horde have everything that alliance have, just not as high of a population. Anyone who says that horde aren’t getting into the darker stuff like that is either naive and doesn’t know their server very well or is lying.
Other RP servers have the same stuff, even if it isn’t as large or well advertised. How do I know? Because people from MG play on those servers as well, and those servers have people who play on MG, and to think it is completely isolated… is a pretty silly claim.
