WoW: RP PVP versus PVP

[AnthroAndStargate]

I am wondering what AT users who play WoW play on.

I play on RP PVP because I feel the player base is a little more mature and you get less names like Killerdude or Druidpwner. It also adds another layer to the game as your occasionally surrounded by gnomes who are acting like they are gnomes. I don't RP but it adds a fun dynamic to make you feel like you are int he world more.

That said my friend is trying to get me to reroll on his PVP server citing PVP servers being better to "enjoy" the game on.

What do you guys play on and why? (We can just leave PVE out altogether 😛 kidding)

Well, for most of my WoW career I was playing on Twisting Nether (an RP-PvP server). While I never was a hard core RPer, I found times when I was acting 'in character', my Undead Rogue. I'd eat my victims. But if they were Gnomes I'd make the stinky face and walk away from them. But that was really the extent of my RPing.

Now I did lead a guild over there (The Dragonwolves) for over a year and I did run into some players who were very hard core. One person even RP'd her character as a dragon aspect because she truly believed she was one. She was a great player and helpful, but she felt that she didn't belong with my guild due to my non-enforcement of RP rules.

I'd ask your friend to try out the RP server first for about a week. Then if he doesn't like it, roll on his server for a week.

I play Horde on a PvP server with some friends, but if I had it to do over again I wouldn't mind playing on an RPPvP server. I started roleplaying back in about 1981 with the Dungeons and Dragons game. Over the years I've slowly developed a few different characters and they've come to life in my mind. I've played most of them in a few different online MUDs, then on Diablo I, Diablo II, Ultima Online and now on WoW. It adds another dimension to the game when your characters have his or her own persona.

Unfortunately, most WoW players confuse rollplaying with roleplaying, and couldn't flesh out a character and bring it to life it their online account depended on it. They'll spend hours and hours analyzing formulas and developing strategies to beat the game, but they miss out on half the fun of playing a RPG because their characters are just tools to reach endgame with as fast as possible.

One of my characters started out as a female ranger back in the pen and paper day. Later she became an rogue in Diablo, an amazon in Diablo II, and now runs around WoW as a female blood elf hunter. I usually get called a i love you about once a week when some young punk hits on me because he thinks I'm a chick in real life because my toon is.

I always play MMORPGs on PvE servers, I think of PvP servers as filters to keep the real servers clean.

But in WoW the retards are simply unavoidable, they're everywhere. And growing in number now that arenas have stupidified the game greatly.

I play on Earthen Ring, an RP-PvE server. It has the most mature player base out of the 4 servers I've played on, but it definitely has it's share of morons. No one in my guild RP's.
