Being a century old hunter and surviving for years on Outland despite the enemy hordes, I'd say Minalin.

 

Chenoa is still growing into her abilities as a druid.  And a time of fighting and healing for Garrosh's army (due to effectively being forced on threat of death to herself and others to do so) kind of put a damper on her training.

 

If I decide to go with a troll, she'll basically be a newbie.  Tons of untapped potential, but still a newbie.  XD

[Mr F 1,522]

Ironically enough, Trolls are my favorite race. Yet I have not capped a single one.

Sometime this week I will level one though. Its gotta be either a frostmage, affliction warlock or resto druid. (I have not tried these classes yet)

I wanna be a witch doctor of some kind. DA VOODOO BE CRAY CRAY MON!

@@Akari of Duskshire,

 

In my defense, Chulorn was still an early character and before I even became serious about being a writer. Much of his more extant characterization comes from what I re-wrote about him later. My early RP experience was basically "race/class that's the character" and while the classes have always been my favorite part of the game and I think an important part of a character as it basically colors their worldview and methods, I would later learn that how and why that character is that class is also important. Class should inform a character, even to a great degree, but it should not be the character's only defining trait.

 

Needless to say, by the time of Mists of Pandaria, I was further along in my major, so Wei Yu got the lion's share of my attention to becoming more of a character, with an arc, and motivations, etc.

You can sort of do that by being a shadow priest or a warlock. Similar to how the Tauren and Blood Elves are not "Paladins" they are Sunwalkers and Blood Knights.

@,

 

Well, you know how you mentioned your desire for shadow hunters to become a separate class?  I plan on making one of my own by choosing one of the three classes I mentioned.  I hear troll shamans do just as well if one wants to RP a witch doctor.

 

@@Steel Accord,

 

Same here.

Umm... err... I don't... really rp... I play on pvp servers.... meep.....

For somepony who doesn't RP, you sure care a lot about the lore, and if you want to play a Witch Doctor/Shadow Hunter, you can! You just got to pick an appropriate class and play up the aspects you wish. E.g. play a Troll Priest and say the appropriate prayers and blessings. They probably would not even use the word "priest" as much as Witch-Doctor.

 

And if you consider that filthy, wretched, skit to be representative of the RP community in WoW, you are sorely mistaken!

But that's strange.  My house doesn't even have a basement...

Oye, ya all made it seem weird. But yes, maybe I will put a witch doctor up on an rp server. I will just have to find one without a full goldshire inn. Kinda hard in europe as people like goldshire rp WAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH. Maybe after I do a bit of raiding first. Gotta get mah fancy gear.

Oh and also, is pvp/pve alive in those servers? (IF I WANNA SEND THOSE ALLIANCE SCUM TO OBLIVION!) XD

@,

 

Last I checked, yes.  You may also see pairs or entire guilds out in the Plaguelands or some other place roleplaying.  I also wouldn't be surprised if there was an RPer who PvPs because it's in-character for them.

Goldshire is not some singular RP hub. It can happen anywhere. Typically in the capitol cities and starting zones where people meet up and just talk in-character.

Wouldn't be able to level if PvE content wasn't available. PvP is fine as far as I've gleaned but more people are resistant to it than other servers because some people are playing characters that oppose the Alliance and Horde conflict, myself included.

 

 

Lore is love, lore is life.

 

If you think that, why haven't you RPed yet? That's literally living within the lore.

Yeah, but some RP servers in eu have a horrible reputation... all the slutmogs... the horror.... Well I will find a good one eventually.

If you actually read the quest texts you are bound to see some lore, lore is in everything even battlegrounds. Lore is love, lore is warcraft...

Remember how I said before that it helps to have a person or two who's there to keep your sanity up?  And how you yourself said that there for every hundred trolls, there's at least a few angels?  That also applies to the RP servers.  It can be a guild who love what they do, it can be someone like Steel Accord, someone will be there to show you an awesome time.

 

Besides, Goldshire is one small spot.  There's a whole WORLD out there and just as many people exploring in it, fighting in it, and anything else that doesn't involve libido.

Shadow Council and Wyrmrest Accord both are wonderful RP realms. Some of the best RP guilds in the game, plenty of friendly walk up RPs too.

Yes I do. AS an RPer you think I wouldn't read the quest text? They are a part of why my character accepts some quests but refuses others and it can be the same for any character. Doing some things would be OOC for them while others it would be in line with a personal mission.

You made not having RP'ed before seem weird. NEVERMIND.

Anyway. Its either Blood elves or Night elves only for demon hunters... I don't really enjoy blood elves and I usually play horde.

So no demon hunter for me.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I'm sorry. I had no idea I was making it seem that way. It's fun and I think it's the best way to experience and live the lore, but by no means do I think it's unanimous nor do I think it's required.

You can always play him as a High Elf who became a Demon Hunter before the Scourge invaded, or you could roll a Night Elf and see the other side more in depth.

I've never seen it before. It looks amazing!

 

Oh yeah, like I said, it's old too. You can clearly see that he's using the old character models. Sadly I don't think he ever made the whole movie. The trailer is obviously a work of art though, so we have that at least. (And it long ago gave me two more songs to add to my classic rock collection.   )

I can go either way, but I think I'll go night elf.

I could definitely spot the difference.  I started sometime during MoP after all.  XD

Finally got my off-hand Warglaive today! I've had the main hand in my bank for over a year now. Can't wait to use it in Timewalking dungeons 

 

I've killed Illidan 33 times on my main, and probably around ~20 times on other characters combined. I've seen 2 Main-hands drop, and one Off-hand. In comparison, it only took me 14 Kil'jaeden kills to get the Legendary Bow.

 

Anyone else been enjoying the time-walking dungeons? I've been doing the Lich King ones with Shadowmourne and the Legendary Cloak, it's hilarious.

Could you explain those to me?  They were just showing up by the time I stopped playing, so I don't know much about them.

Every now and then, Timewalking dungeons open up for a week. Last week it featured Lich King dungeons (not all, unfortunately. Just certain dungeons. I wish they'd add all of them), on September 30th, Burning Crusade dungeons will be open.

 

Basically, anyone from level 80 (70 in the case of BC dungeons) to 100 can run these dungeons through the group finder. It will scale down your gear, and also award you gear, based off your level. So your level 100 axe will deal damage equivalent to a level 80 weapon, and so on. But the thing is, legendary and top tear items aren't scaled properly. Shadowmourne and the Legendary Cloak for example completely wreck faces in timewalking dungeons, allowing you to complete dungeons quickly. It's fun to make use out of old items again.
