Every server has its own culture. Some of this culture is documented on WoW Wiki’s Realms List or on Blizzards Official Realm Forum. Most of the culture will be documented on the Raid and Guild forums–the semi-private places where guildies gather and talk about the game we obsesses over. Over time, part of this guild [...]

Hello, everyone who’s come to visit us by way of the Lovely Anna! I’m eyeing the links over on the sidebar up and down, and realizing that, just as “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” needed more cowbell, we need more neat WoWblogs to read. (I resisted the urge to say “More WoWbell.” It was hard. It [...]

At least once a week, someone posts on the Feathermoon forums looking to transfer servers. After Wrath first came out, the posters were mainly looking for a new home to experience end-game content, asking about the raiding guilds and their progression. But in the last few months, we’ve seen a resurgence of RPers looking for [...]

That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of a chatlog, or to take arms ag . . . (Right, done now). I generally know ahead of time which bits of RP I’m going to be ficcing. I know other roleplayers work more fast and loose – [...]

Falconesse ran a story two months ago wherein her Alliance main, was placed in a coma by a rather evil bastard named Fedwynn. The following bit of Friday Fiction comes from that time frame. It’s part of a much larger story, parts of which have already been published here. On the day the sixth brunch [...]

Apostrophe abuse is a common malady in RP circles. When discovering our character’s voices, very often we discover their accent, affectations and dialects. First we start with dropping the ‘g’ and next you realize, you’re spelling words phonetically based on your characters regional dialect. There becomes “thar.” “Lord” becomes “Laird.” Curse words are used as [...]

It took, roughly, forever… I get it; it’s cute — you’ve done a couple thousand quests and have seen a metric fuckton of exclamation points. But, I dunno. I guess I would have pictured something a bit more dignified for a loremaster. It’s a good thing the only tabard Davien ever wears ICly is the [...]

And I have no idea what I’m doing! So last night I ran a ten man Ulduar which was, in retrospect, a smashing success even though we only dropped three bosses. Most of the group had done said bosses on twenty five man, but I had found very little information about the pared down versions so [...]

A month ago, I asked my fellow guild mates to write up a story (in 2,048 characters) about a physical or emotional beat down of their character. They rose to the challenge with usual aplomb and vigor. Hopefully, they’ll either repost their stories on their blogs or in the comments. Here is Bricu’s. Just an [...]

With the flood of posts about 3.1, how the content will affect RP, how the features will affect RP and WoW Insider’s post on “Running an RP Session,*” it is important to look at how RP occurs in World of Warcraft. I am not discussing the distinctions between Hardcore or Casual RP, nor am I [...]
