‘lo folks,
A little while ago we asked about Roleplay within WoW, specifically, within our guild. I know some of you are on this server for this purpose and I felt that we, as a community, were missing something from our collection of activities.
I’ve teamed up with a veteran RPer (Lokimytotems) and put together some information about what we want to do and to cover some information that we thought was important. I’ll be covering the very basics, so this may not apply to everyone, but I wanted to cover it for folk who may be interested and never done it before but wanted to give it a shot.
With all of this in mind, I wanted to ask for those who are interested to sign up the to Maniacs team on the site and to come along to our first meeting on THURSDAY 15/07/2021 (in game location TBC). Here we will organise some details, hash out any issues and form a full basis of what we want to do.
Before then, there are a few things I would ask you all to do.
First, consider the type of character you want to play and jot down a very simple backstory (keep it simple). Once you’ve done that, then I’d recommend reading over the following guides;
- https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guide-to-roleplay-for-newcomers/16355
- https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Guide_to_roleplaying
These should detail most of the things you would ever need to know about the mechanics of doing RP within WoW.
Finally, download and install 3 addons;
- https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/total-rp-3
- https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/total-rp-3-extended
- https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/wim-3
There are some additional TRP3 addons which you can install, if you wish, but are not necessary and the WIM addon will allow you to keep a log of your RP.
Concept
Something went wrong the day gnomes were created. Their small stature and high-pitched voices would disgust anyone with more than half a mind. But, at least they are part of the Alliance, so we don’t have to pretend to be friendly with their revolting mugs.
This makes it easier for us to eradicate them one by one like the pests they are. Those of us who think the same have banded together, pledging our lives to the destruction of the tiny vermin. We are the hunters, the killers, the predator to our prey.
We are the Gnomicidal Maniacs.
