Writing RP for an event allows one to define, or redefine, the tone of the NPCs involved in the setting. While in the Wrathgate Cut Scene, we see Highlord Bolvar stride through his troop formations, we know that this did not happen over night. These frontline troops are only the vanguard. The planning and set [...]
Let’s not be coy. Here’s the TL;DR version: I hated it. That seems to put me in the minority among WoW players who read Christie Golden’s retelling of the life and times of Arthas Menethil, though Anna brought up some of the flaws in her review. Chances are, this is going to get a bit [...]
After a long day of dungeon crawling, fighting monsters and jousting, your character deserves a place to kick of her or his boots and relax in relative safety. While this could be accomplished in an Inn, Tavern or any decent sized village/town/city/Floating Castle, wouldn’t it be better for your character to relax in their own [...]
“Being a Northman, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.”
The lands of Lordaeron were damaged–nearly beyond repair–by Arthas and his betrayal of Lordaeron. While the scars on the land are visible to everyone who plays WoW past level 55, the damage done to the psyche of the Northmen is more subtle. Few groups cry for justice louder than the people whose lives were ruined [...]
Once upon a time, Ila Tarquin** introduced us to TV Tropes. (Warning: once you click through, all productivity will be lost. For at least an hour.)

Months ago, an old trouble made itself known to the Riders: Uthas, the man who tried bringing a new plague to Azeroth a few years ago before his people were driven into the sea, had resurfaced. Before he was the Plaguefather, he was the boy who had grown up in Lordaeron’s orphanage with Bricu Bittertongue. [...]
Way back before 1.9, Bricu was invited to attend the an RP event–the first RP event not planned by my buddy–and I went along expecting an impressive storyline and group participation. What I attended was neither impressive or group participation. It did, however, solidify my characters negative attitude. The event was held in Blackrock Mountain, [...]
The Wrathgate event, the cut scene of Wrath of the Lich King, is not just a seminal moment in lore. The Wildfire Riders of Feathermoon took this opportunity to RP their characters roles during the siege. Wrathgate also allowed for an expansion of the guild. In this post by Illithias, we see how a character [...]
Let’s start out with a disclaimer: there aren’t any rules set in stone for using your RP description addons. Whether you’re a fan of Flag RSP2, Immersion RP, or My Roleplay, you are free to type whatever you’d like into the text box provided to describe your characters. So, take what I say much in [...]
