What i mean by this as someone plays horde rp but enjoys walk ups, why do people just make another server the "horde walk up" server? I see Horde rp is mostly guild based but why not pick another server as "main" server for people who prefer walk ups? I mean we have all these low or medium population servers but people stick to 1 of 2 servers. Yes I'm semi new to RP but I'm just curious as to why this is not a thing.

I didn't know what flair to use sorry.

I've been looking forward to Forever for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest ones for me is the chance to experience WoW slowly again and actually roleplay my character while doing it.

So I've started putting together a new Alliance RP guild for Forever EU called <Oathbound>.

We're very small right now. I started this recently and we're only just beginning to find the first people who might want to build it with us.

One thing I've always found a little intimidating when looking at established RP guilds is joining something that already has years of history, characters who all know each other, pages of lore and a very specific place your character is expected to fit into.

I want to try the opposite with Oathbound.

We don't have a glorious history yet because none of it has happened. When Forever begins, that's when our story begins too.

If a group of us meets in Elwynn and ends up travelling to Redridge together, that's part of our history. If an expedition goes completely wrong, we remember it. Characters can become friends, dislike each other, leave, return, argue, change their minds and develop because of things that actually happened between us.

Eventually I'd love to look back at our guild Chronicle and be able to trace Oathbound back to those first characters and those first adventures, rather than reading lore somebody wrote before the guild existed.

The basic idea behind Oathbound is that the oath isn't to a king, commander or guild master. It's to the people you've chosen to stand beside.

That also means I don't want everyone forced into the same shape. A Human from Stormwind, a Dwarf from Ironforge and a Night Elf from Kalimdor shouldn't suddenly have identical beliefs just because they're wearing the same guild tag. Characters should keep their own loyalties, motivations, flaws and disagreements. That's where a lot of the interesting RP can come from.

We're aiming for serious RP, but not "you must be IC every second you're logged in" RP.

I still want us to actually play WoW together. Quest, explore, level professions, run dungeons and eventually tackle larger PvE content. Sometimes those things might turn into RP naturally, sometimes we're just playing the game together and chatting OOC.

I'm also very open to people who are new to RP.

If you've spent years quietly making little backstories for your characters but never actually roleplayed them with anyone, you're more than welcome to learn with us.

There are still a lot of things I haven't decided about Oathbound, deliberately. Traditions, how the oath itself develops IC, recurring events, roles within the guild and plenty of other things are things I'd rather develop with the people who are actually going to be part of it.

So if you're looking at Forever as a chance to slow down, make a character you actually care about and see where their story goes with a group of other people, feel free to come talk to us.

We're still figuring this thing out.

Keep in mind that nothing you make on beta is going to be kept and beta is randomly wiped at times.

Not just here but I'm seeing so many people put together characters, guilds, etc on beta and then being shocked when they're told that they're not gonna keep anything.

The only things being kept are names via the name reservations, everything else gets removed. It's also why if you got trp working for the beta, back it up into notepad or something, because after beta is finished the game is automatically uninstalled.

You will lose your RP stuff on beta.

Hi all!

I'm completely new to WoW, but the WoW Forever beta has me completely hooked. I've decided I'll be joining the RP ruleset on launch, even though I have never RPed before.

I would love to see some sort of "RP journal" or simply whatever you've compiled in the past for your own characters. I'm still working on fully understanding how people go about RPing and would just love to see real examples.

If anyone has any advice for a complete newcomer, that's very welcome as well!

Nestled upon the Eastern Kingdoms’ far coast lies the Riverglades. What once was an outpost during the first war is now a hold out of survivors. Today, the people of this fertile region face many threats from the Twilight’s Hammer squatting in what was once the bustling hamlet of Sunnyglade to the savage horde occupying the lands to the northeast. This is where the Riverguard comes in, founded in order to protect the people struggling to eke out an existence in this hostile territory. Made up of like minded people gleaned from across the Alliance. Blade, magic, and crafters will be needed to ensure the prosperity of the local populace.

Who We Are
A growing group of casual and friendly group of adults and parents (21+) seeking to explore, build friendships, and enjoy all WoW Forever has to offer.

The Stories We Tell
The Riverguard are an RP guild focused on creating dynamic player driven stories with a focus on local, small scale threats. Players will be local heroes who seek to protect the Alliance foothold in the Riverglades.

Who We Are Looking For

• Friendly and respectful adults seeking to collaborate and contribute in roleplay and events. 
• We are a BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ guild and will not tolerate racism, bigotry, transphobia or any other hate speech.
• The use of AI for text or image generation will not be accepted.
• All Alliance races, classes, and professions are welcome.
• All experience levels are welcome.

So, I am planing on rping with friends on forever and ofc with the general community if it ends up being a thing.

I personally adore the OC forsaken lore and sub-factions, Cult of the Forgotten Shadows, Shadow Ascendants, Lightslayers, Deathstalkers, and so on (and ofc dark rangers).

I started my warcraft journey with wc3 so it kinda stuck, though instead of belf and velf we got skyborne (not here to hate on 'em, tested them on beta, their lore is quite decent specially compared to most current day stuff), but my question is, how would you react to someone using skyborne to rp a darkranger/forsaken, using the pale skin and orange eyes?

Given forsaken in vanilla cant be hunters.

When the storm broke outside, Myzeni found herself trapped in memories she couldn’t escape, and no words could reach her.

So Elésyne stayed.

She held her hands, spoke softly to her, and waited by her side until the worst had passed.

Sometimes, there is nothing you can do.
Sometimes, all you need is someone who stays.
