I know Bannerlord already supports those kinds of mods, and I know I don’t really have the skill to get it started, but if anyone else does I’d support it whatever way I could. And pay them. Lots of money. To get Legion of the Dawn soldiers in it.
I vote that as part of this mod, Zandalari and Troll troops should get 10 hp back every 5 seconds they aren’t hit.
Capturing and executing some of your favorite forum personalities could be very cathartic.

I want to do RP with goblins, have some mercenaries work for me as their contractor/boss/trade partners.
Run a silk road/black market of blight goods and take different odd jobs.

Since I started playing WoW again a few months before Shadowlands released, I never got to RP during the events of Legion (particularly involving Val’shara and Suramar) or the War of Thorns. The latter especially would have been very meaningful to this character, since Darkshore was his home.

I always wanted to do more cross faction RP. I don’t have any specific plans or storylines in mind, I tend to just let stuff happen. Kina has always thought that Tauren and Draenei should get along. She’s not overly fond of humans though. She tends not to trust them. Anyway, just more stuff I’ll never get around too since I’m unsubed.

I always wanted to be involved in an Ebon Blade guild. Which is unfortunate, because 99% of those class-restricted guilds seem like they are doomed to fail within a month or two (see also: the flood of Demon Hunter guilds that didn’t even make it halfway through Legion), but the concept of a group that would be caught between the two factions and have members from so many different races with conflicting motivations is just fascinating to me. It’s such a shame too, because that is one of the only areas where it feels like Shadowlands would’ve provided some real roleplay potential.
I also wanted to form a little adventure group with my Goblin hunter. Not heroes or anything like that, but simply a small circle of comrades going on some hunting expeditions together across Azeroth. Lots of walking around, exploring, sharing stories around the campfire — I had something like that for one of my first major RP experiences back in the day where someone took my Blood Elf rogue and a few others on a Northrend scouting expedition, and it’s hard not to feel nostalgic. But I could never get enough people together for it and lack the confidence to be the one leading a storyline like that.

Years ago during Hallow’s End I would take groups through Karazhan and narrate each encounter Haunted-Mansion-style in general chat - I’d wanted to do the same for Return to Karazhan and Waycrest Manor but the interest just wasn’t there the way it used to be.
That being said, macroing that much descriptive text for an entire dungeon is a bit taxing, but it’s something I would’ve at least like to have attempted at some point.

This is a fan-frigging-tastic idea and I may or may not steal it for next year’s Hallow’s End party.

When Demon Hunters became playable I promptly made one. Since creating the character I wished to roleplay scenarios in Illidari interests, not unlike what I did in Shadow Vault with the Ebon Blade.
Suffice to say that I never really had the opportunity. Most Demon Hunter/Illidari guilds and groups on this server faded away before or shortly after the expansion even started and I preferred to be alone than settle for anything else; not that finding an alternative would’ve been easy regardless, but I digress. Eventually Legion ended and the resulting narrative made the idea of rping battles against the Legion harder to fully justify, and perhaps less appealing to some. Occasionally potential opportunities have popped up here and there, only to once more drop off like those early guilds from the pre-patch period.
Another one I’ve always wanted to do was an assassination. I’ve had a few characters who were assassins and left them open for ic employment, though that was never touched upon. Admittedly I can kind of understand why this kind of thing doesn’t happen often, if at all, but I can’t help but see it as a missed opportunity in general.
Class themed affairs have long been an interest of mine; events that feature scenarios most befitting of or otherwise optimized for particular class/archetypes. I’ve rarely encountered many of these and, barring those occasional summits and similar meets, I’ve rarely seen an opportunity that seemed attractive. Those few I’ve found worthy of support, or tried to start myself, also didn’t last long. At times I partially blame my for some of these, as I suspect maybe I hadn’t done as much as I could to ensure the project met its potential, but in the end who can really say?
I also kind of wanted to do more with civilian characters. I had a few mainstays that I’d bring out every now and again but in retrospect I think they’d do better beyond the confines of walk-ups and the like.
I wanted to do more with Zhaoyang, the main character portrayed on Yonara, in general. Looking back at her and how I’ve handled her, there’s a lot about the character I rarely got a chance to reveal ic; such as her spirituality and martial prowess, among some other things. Again, I partially blame myself for this.
Lastly I’ve long wanted to do more with Astrea, my main Highborne character. I’ve had her for years but never felt like she reached her full potential. I set her up for things like political and spiritual debates, clashes with modern Kaldorei beliefs and feats of high magic. I found a guild once that provided opportunities for much of that but after it died so did a lot of that. I hadn’t fully recovered from that loss, though it wasn’t as bad as with other characters of mine. In this case I think it was a combination of things holding me back, some personal and some others just being the way of things.
This turned out longer than I originally planned, and I don’t know how to feel about that.
Addendum:
My Pandaren Warrior, Ju Moonblossom, started with a thing I wanted to do where she’d solicit interviews with the warriors of the Horde with the possibility of those leading into duels. I didn’t get too far with this, and I’ve always wanted to do it more; especially with Blademasters.

My biggest White Whale would probably be a Moonclaw Worgen. Since Cata I was inspired by the worgen warrior-women in Feralas who are functioning as Sentinels in the Kaldorei army. I’ve had this idea bouncing around in my head for years about a young woman who was pretty much shoehorned into one path by her Gilnean family (marryied off, stuck in a particular profession, it’s varied) and resents it. Thus she more or less rejects human society and all of its sexism and makes a name for herself as a night elf.
But there’s no real enforced gender roles in warcraft human society, so the premise felt a bit off anyway. Furthermore it’d be a niche concept. As someone who more or less saw the Kaldorei as peak civilisation I doubt she’d want to hang out in Stormwind, and so the RP opportunities more or less weren’t there… and I never pursued it. I would’ve said maybe one day, but with WRA Alliance incredibly quiet at my dumb oceanic hours, I doubt the character will ever see the light of day… or of the moon as the case may be

i’ve also still yet to finish my vulpera’s shaman initiation trials. she’s done most of them but i can’t seem to get the person i need online so i can’t finish them. it’s unironically causing me a lot of grief, as it’s very close to finishing and i’ve been thinking of it for nearly two years now.
i’ve also wanted my vulpera death knight’s floating sword to meet another sentient floating weapon, and just vibe. due to the fact that she hates the stinky livings it’d be fun for her to be like “AW YEAH WE’RE SUCH COOL WEAPONS IMAGINE BEING A LIVING WITH GROSS SKIN AND FLUIDS” and such.
unfortunately i doubt i’ll be able to do any of this ever, since my sub runs out in less than twenty four hours lol.

all woman old horde (orcs/trolls/tauren + goblins and pandaren in individual cases) warband for jaded and tired war veterans(veteranesses) who are ride or die for each other. also not necessarily hostile to the alliance because im tired of faction conflict zzz
just finding people for this who would work well is a white whale in itself
which I’ve apparently been thinking about since like 2017.

Ever since I founded Steelpaw I always had this vision of a union of different guilds(clans) of Pandaren political clout oppertating in this dynamic of competing for the soul of Pandaria in terms of it’s people while also walking that difficult balance of being influenced by the Horde or Alliance superpowers. A lot of public events sponsored by the guild illustrated those themes and right befor Covid we had gotten quiet of bit of interest to fill in with the lack of satisfying content during BFA.
I wanted groups to compete against each other, interact, even PvP all in good faith of telling a broader storyline that’s satisfying for everyone in the moment though doesn’t quite reach a “conclusion” given no one can “own” Pandaria.
And though we certainly got a few plot threads going guilds imploding, conflicting interests, waning interest, and just overall disatisfaction of the game ended up being a death of a thousand cuts to any real momentum it may have had. Not to mention me fully realizing how exhausting a project like that would end up being. I had some awesome collaborators but trying to manage a story of that scope while making it appealing to all in addition to teetering on the fine lines of player self motivations or grievances just didn’t work out in the end.

god i would actually play an old horde race for this.
my actual related-to-wow desire was an anarchist group led by some illidari that didn’t actually buy into the faction conflict and just wanted to do “what Lord Illidan would do” and that meant being a complete mess and suckering people into doing dumb things.
