So, I'm planning to set foot into WoW RP for the first time. This is not my first RP in general, or MMO RP specifically, just for clarity. And as for my WoW history, I have played since way back from Vanilla into Cataclysm, and have been checking up on the retail lore from time to time since.

I know I want to play a Mage (despite being a long time Shaman player), and have narrowed down my race choices to Human and Undead, but am utterly unable to decide which one.

The Forsaken are close to my heart as my first ever race, so there's a strong nostalgia bias. And I feel there is compelling potential there, especially after having played Forsaken Kingdom. Issue is, there seems to be a strong mismatch between the Forsaken Kingdoms vision of the Forsaken, and the classic vision of the Forsaken.

In FK, the Forsaken are a community of ostracized people hated by everyone, who are desperately fighting for their right to exist. Garek's focus is on protecting his people from the dangers of the world. Sylvanas' monologue in the epilogue even gave me the impression that in this timeline, the Horde is not merely an alliance of convenience, but she and her people are legitimate partners and allies. This is something I can get behind, and perhaps Forever would continue with the foundation that FK laid down.

However, the Classic vision of the Forsaken seems to be much more of evil, hateful creatures, bent on taking vengeance on the whole world, and with much of their effort as a nation dedicated to crafting a new plague to destroy the living. This whole idea resonates with me much less.

And then there's the race itself. A Forsaken is forever trapped in their own rotting corpse (I so wish they would at least let me hide my bones!). Their senses are greatly dimished. There seems to be little potential for affection, or even just for the simple pleasures of life. Their existence, and their aesthetic is one of misery, bitterness and depression. Extending all the way to the design of the Undercity itself, which would hold my Mage's library. And while I do enjoy the story of rebuilding one's life from total collapse (probably my long time of Zomboid RP), a Forsaken ultimately cannot rebuild themselves. They are, and always will be, a rotting corpse.

On the other side, we have Humans. Stormwind is a beautiful city, with an amazing Mage Quarter. I could see my Mage living and working there. And in terms of nostalgia, I have spent a fair amount of time in the Human zones as well. A Human feels almost like a blank slate who can do anything. From enjoying good food, to good company, to pursuing the mysteries of the Arcane for their own lust for knowledge. While a Forsaken is trapped in their predicament.

Ultimately, it feels that a Forsaken has greater nostalgia appeal, and greater potential for a compelling story, but with a massive risk of just turning out sad and miserable. While a Human is the safe choice, with slightly less nostalgia pull, and potentially more storytelling freedom.

Now, what am I expecting from this post. Honestly any advice, any thoughts, any opinions, any viewpoints that could help me finally choose. And if you made it all the way here, thank you :-)

Arthory Atenn Human Warrior, Alliance, 28 years old.

Born into a humble family of lumberjacks in Elwynn Forest, Arthory was only seven when Stormwind fell to the Orcish Horde. Separated from his parents during the evacuation, he grew up as an orphan in Southshore, only to witness war reach his new home once again.

Years later, the fall of Lordaeron to the Scourge finally pushed him to take up arms.

He joined the foreign militia of Stromgarde, where a veteran instructor taught him that strength alone means nothing without discipline, and that rage is most powerful when controlled.

Now, after more than twenty years away, Arthory has returned to Elwynn.

He is neither a knight nor a legendary hero. Just a former laborer and militiaman with an old sword, a battered shield, and a determination to never again stand helpless while others suffer.

His adventure begins in Northshire Abbey.

For the Alliance! ⚔️🦁

Don't hate me, but I'm going to admit that elves have never appealed to me until now.

I've tried so hard to like them, but I'm just not a fan of having to study up on thousands of years of lore just to write a character who I can be confident in portraying. It's been a big mental barrier, despite my love of their aesthetics, but the Skyborne being more of a blank slate has lessened this fear and I'm (finally!) fully on board.

I'm planning on writing a character who was sent as an emissary of the High Order to map out leylines across Azeroth. I think it's a fun way to justify him getting out in the world and exploring outside of the political discourse on Zephras. I'm super excited to get into it!

Who are your Skyborne going to be?

Any suggestions appreciated.

The Skyborne has red hair and red feathers, he's going to be a fire shaman... fun fact fire only reason exist on earth due to our unique combination of elements... there's plenty of magma planets but the oxygen here flat out allows fire to exist.

Hey everyone, having some name paralysis. I’ve got a human paladin character/concept I’d like to pursue and I’m having trouble with names. I’m torn between Derek and Halthan. I do enjoy being able to use a name like the former on an RP realm, but I also really enjoy the fantasy sounding tone of the latter.

It always seemed like more prominent human characters have fantasy names and there are really none that use real world English/anglo names like Derek or Jordan, etc.

Which would you pick?

About Us: <Eastwind Merchants> is a new guild for the release of WoW: Forever!
We are making our home as Alliance on the RP-PvP Ruleset.

We are looking to build a community and crafting focused guild with monthly events. We want to foster a community of players who enjoy playing WoW Forever and other games during downtime. Some of us will rush to 60 and others will take a more relaxed approach.

Raiding:
We're recruiting Tanks, Healers, Melee DPS, and Ranged DPS for efficient raid clears.

If there are enough people ready for the December 9th launch then I intend to hold Weekend raids.
[Raid 1] Saturday Mornings: 11:00am - 2:00pm PM PST.
[Raid 2] TBD

Raider Expectations: While we will be casual in schedule, we value players that do their research, show up prepared and are on-time.

Everyone is welcome to participate but some roles will be in more demand than others as is the nature of raiding.
Loot will be handled by Loot Council for 20/40 mans.
10-man raid will be at the raid leader's discretion for now.

Any changes to this will be voted on by all guild officers.

RP: We will be hosting a bi-monthly guild event in Powderfuse Port. My vision of this is that we are a Merchant company and we will use Powderfuse Port as the Home base where we will sell our goods to other players. Those participating in the event are encouraged to do so in character.

PvP We plan to participate in world-pvp as well as the Rank 14 grind with whoever is willing.
We will form groups for those looking to push ranks if there is enough interest.

Guild Officers — OPEN

We're seeking dedicated members to help lead and grow the guild.

I RP in a guild of my mother tongue, and for example I RP a nelf with a the typical noun+adjective surname.

I really like the name in my language, it's also sound nice in English but I really feel attached to the native one.

I will RP in English too so, maybe will be better the English one for everyone to understand?

We will have the Total RP to maybe fix that if I wanted to switch?

Hello!

I'm new to RP and kicking around an idea about bringing music into WoW Forever.

I am a professional musician and love this game. Basically, I want to play the bard and use the game as a playground to develop a repertoire of music I love but don't normally get to perform in my day-to-day gigging life. Tavern songs, sea shanties, campfire tunes, battle songs, parting songs, etc. Music that fits naturally into a high fantasy world.

Part of my motivation is to develop my skills as a performer and master of ceremonies. WoW seems like a fun environment to experiment and expand my repertoire.

I'm imagining a blend of gameplay, RP, live music, and streaming.

A few questions:

1. Class! I am split between a human priest or paladin (but could see a case for rogue or hunter). Buffing people and healing them seems in line with a Bard fantasy. Needs to be human for my music taste and style. Curious what you would play?
2. Is there anyone doing this? I've seen Jay the Bard and a couple campfire song creators. I'm looking for more creators and honestly would love to get in touch and start to build or contribute to a community.
3. How do people handle live audio? I've looked into the Musician addon, but it doesn't seem to support live microphone or instrument performances. Would the best option be streaming to Twitch and coordinating with people in-game or on Discord? Are there other approaches people use? I have a pretty solid audio interface, mic, and camera set up already (from normal life).
4. Is there an audience for this? I love the idea of spontaneous musical moments with other players, but I also wonder whether it'll be too clunky to share it in any kind of spontaneous way in the game. Inviting people to a stream or discord feels very outside of RP.
5. RP-PvP or RP-PvE? Rallying the troops before a big faction battle sounds fantastic, but I imagine this might fit more naturally into RP-PvE communities. Curious what people think.
6. And on that note, are there any guilds looking to recruit a bard? (and/or tank healer haha).

Ultimately, I'd love to find people and communities already doing interesting things in this space, learn from them, and hopefully find a way to participate.

Any recommendations, examples, invitations, or general advice would be greatly appreciated!

I know there is possible trouble using titles as names but I like the Idea of my first name being what an enemy sees like Sen'jin Axethrower but allies see Axethrower Gul'Jin. I was curious if there were troll specific rogues I could pull from, I saw the retail Org trainer was "Nightstalker" but I was curious if I missed some. "Shadowhunter" felt too lore important to pick. I plan on doing skinning and leather working as well so "Hunter" *could* work but its also a class name.

I'm serious considering "Mister", "Headhunter" etc but I know that this can also be done through TRP so I'm not sure.

Since two names (firstname surname) is required on wow forever, are there good ways of making this work with lore friendly troll names?

So am getting more into roleplaying, and one of the ideas i had for a character was a troll from the hakkari. I mainly thought it be a fun idea but looking into it idk if it's the best.

The hakkari are a tribe of trolls who worship hakkar, but the Atal'ai are the more evil side of the tribe/extreme group from the hakkari.

I just wanna know if having a character being apart of the hakkari be a bad idea?

If you are, can you please post a short description of what your guild is about.

I'm an Australian man in his 30's, but my playtimes don't really align with most Aussies so it doesn't matter where most the guild members are based. I've never really done RP in WoW seriously, but I have a few years of experience in a few different D&D campaigns IRL so I understand basic RP principles. I also might be interested in running events or developing my own storylines in the future.

☠️ Knights of the Grave ☠️

Horde RP - Heavy RP - Raiding - PVE Ruleset

A Call to Arms has sounded out to all able-bodied members of the Forsaken. We are the frontline not only against the Scourge, but also against the vile Scarlet Crusade and anyone who would seek to stand in our way. Our cause is just and our course clear; we shall eradicate Lordaeron of the enemies of the Forsaken and, in turn, the Horde.

The Knights of the Grave are led by Executor Artoyia Pendraig and are to be on the front lines wherever needed, whether that be in Lordaeron itself or called to fight alongside our new allies within the Horde. In death, we are still the sons and daughters of Lordaeron, and we will fight for our home 'til death claims us once again.

⚔️ OOC ⚔️

The Knights of the Grave are a Heavy-RP Guild with plans to do PvE content as well. While the guild has a 'Gothic Knight'-like focus we are accepting all Forsaken from any path from apothecaries, to those that dabble in the arcane, you have a home here amongst our ranks, with eventual story progression in the guild aiming to eventually open up to other races of the Horde, but with a focus still being on the Forsaken as a whole.

Currently, we're looking for anyone, whether it be people curious about jumping into the RP scene for the first time or long-standing veterans within the community; the < Knights of the Grave > is open to you.

I am looking to create a friendly space OOC as well; whether you be coming from Retail or Classic does not matter. The aim is to create a sense of found brotherhood and sisterhood in our ranks both out of character and in character, and the end hope is to foster an RP community around Northern Eastern Kingdoms that allows for world-RP in places like Brill, Tarren Mill, and potentially other parts of the world as well.

Why should I join?

• You're a Forsaken Paladin and/or Knight looking to contribute to the Forsaken and join an order that is led by someone who is like-minded.

• A place for Military-minded Forsaken, whether they be a Mage, Warlock, Rogue, or Priest, and wanting to contribute to the Forsaken War effort to secure our lands from those who would try to take them from us.

• A place where you're allowed to be who you want to be OOC and IC, with the aim of being Pro-LGBTQ+ and Pro Neurodivergent.

• A hope of getting to explore what it truly means to be 'Forsaken' as we carve out a path for ourselves in this world. If You love the idea of roleplaying out in the world and eventually doing large storylines that may take us beyond the borders of Lordaeron itself and potentially collaborating with other guilds. A place whether you be casual or a veteran to RP you'll be welcomed.
