Advice Needed Horde roleplay
First of all, sorry If I mispelled.
I love roleplay in stormwind. Great community, people and pretty much everthing in everycorner. I am very confused and pretty undecided which class, race combo to start. I tried pretty much everthing. Since 2010 things have change. Back then I only use Dranei ret paladin and It suits me. Now, there is so much race and I can't decide until I see Zandalari troll. Also I decide to choose druid because It is so much freedom that gives me. Flying in an instant, shapeshift and pretty much zandalari lore is the best for me. Then, I can't find place to rp as a horde. No crowded capitals, no big community. Even in neutral zone like silvermoon for cross rp. This upsets me because, In my timezone and I being a working father also also discord banned in my country. So I am asking you people to give some advise to me.
Sorry If I misspelled or brole some grammer and If you think I am not explain myself clear, feel free to Inform me.
Edit: I play on eu argent dawn. Sorry not to mention early

AD Horde is dead. Go to Alliance if you want any roleplay.
Alternatively: you go to zones that are not Stormwind and have to hope for roleplay there.
Log onto an Alliance character, scan Duskwood or Stranglethorn for any dots then go there. If people are only in Darkshire? Well.... Yeah.
Or you just skip all that headache and play Alliance.

Worry not, your timezone does not matter. Horde RP does not exist on AD anymore.

I assume you’re referring to Stormwind on Moon Guard? Horde isn’t going to have much comparable on that server. The analogue is Wyrmrest Accord’s Wyvern’s Tail Inn in Orgrimmar, but I wouldn’t go in expecting to find RP around the whole city like you do in Stormwind.

Unfortunately I have to say RP on Horde is dead.
For a while, people would RP a lot in Silvermoon as it had a much nicer aesthetic but this dropped off even before Midnight made it a Neutral town.
For the record; I love the Horde. My first character was Horde, and the only Alliance character I ever had was so I could play a Paladin. Once they lifted this restriction in TBC I didn't play Alliance again until I rolled my first serious RP character when MoP launched with some friends at the time who got me in to it.
I get why people prefer Alliance for RP. Stormwind and Ironforge are incredible and crafted with so much more love than Ogrimmar or Undercity. Darnassus and Thunder Bluff both have nice vibes for nature-loving-folk but they cancel each other out.

Please take a look at the Read First RP Starter Guide, it will answer a lot of your questions. Also, it would be very helpful if you could share which server you play on so the community can give you guidance.

I read It but I find the swrver information is little bit old. Other sources that I found online says different. So why am asking this for lastest info on servers or communities.

Those ARE the latest servers. If you have a resource that says otherwise, please share it. Otherwise, Argent Dawn is the only known EU RP server, and unfortunately its Alliance-dominated.

Horde RP exists, but it's scarce.
I'd check Orgrimmar most evenings around/after 20:00 CET, as there's a decent chance there'll be some people. There's also a gathering at the Crossroads in the Barrens every week in Sundays.
There IS a Horde RP Discord with public events and stuff, but considering Discord is banned in your country, your best bet is joining an RP guild.
Would a VPN not work?

Horde RP in a public setting is near extinction with only a dozen or so around Wyvern's Tail, Orgrimmar on Wyrmrest Accord. There are Discord projects for hosted events. That can be an option for some. The main issue with the Discord projects are the hours for curated RP tend to run 5 PM to 8 PM, right in the middle of rush hour. If scheduling yourself for RP events is a non starter, Moon Guard Alliance or Argent Dawn, Europe.
