World of Warcraft®

Hi there. I was thinking about looking into trying rp and I heard your server was pretty small and friendly compared to bigger ones like moon guard and wyrmrest. I like rogues and am curious about famous rogues on your server I could contact about maybe trying something. History and lore and other stuff regarding rogues. I would be alliance to.

Thanks for anything you leave here

Mossst of our more famousss roguesss like to attack famousss folk in the open, or in the bar, or in church, or while they are checking their mail, or attacking the Crossssssroadsss (Pungo), yesss. Alssso, RPersss, too, yesss.

The mayor of Darkshire, Sadiq.

If he's still around in some form, you could do worse than to contact Pang. I still fondly recall all the times he'd be stealthed in the Mage Quarter in Stormwind waiting for Gentyl to come along.

I miss Pang.

You'll want Ettinjandy, guildmaster of the <Assassins League>. He's been cruising on alts, occasionally.

I misread that..thought it said most famous RPer..missed the rogue part..I was going to say Khromie..but she is not a rogue..so I have no idea! LOL

Just don't mention worgen around Khromie. She's still pretty upset.

Please tell me that means I scared her.

Well, this one time at Clinic...

I wouldn't call myself famous. But I used to do quite a bit back at the end of Cata, early MoP. Also, poor Khromie, she wanted that poor baby worgen to live.

Also, if you can't seem to be able to find me on Ettin, you can find me on Maethi right now since I'll be leveling him. You can also try finding Discauince, Lamius, or Graddon. I'm not usually on any of my others.

Leaving aside the famousness idea, I would encourage you to define your character idea a bit more first before seeking out someone's help (or rather, influence). Rogues are different from one another, and one size does not fit all.

To give an example, this character is a warden, but the rogue above me is an assassin - two completely different people. You could have spies, pirates, thieves, con artists, irregular soldiers, outrunners, mercenaries, operatives, investment bankers, etc.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kordrion. She's a sneaky, stabby Alli Rogue RPer that is active in the community.

Kord is no rogue, she's an administrator who stabs people.

And sets people on fire, but really. /flexes. The rogue you don't see is the best rogue.

*Scoffs at "Famous" rogues!*

Famous rogues are usually dead rogues.

I see. thank you. I was hoping to try a cold blooded assassin type who doesn't show emotions and rarely speaks because that would be easy to do

Ettin is an assassin, but she doesn't do the other two things. She gets angry a lot, and usually goes around threatening people.

It would be easy to do, but you'll want to be careful with this. In hindsight it's incredibly easy to create a concept like this and apply it in character, but you'll quickly find that the quality of RP may deteriorate simply due to the fact that a character such as that is bound to become boring. I understand that things like this are subjective, but it is more of a fact in this case that that character would become a very monotonous, flat assassin that doesn't really exhibit any particular traits that shows it as anything aside from generic.

Too, it automatically takes away from certain situations that could spark RP otherwise. Your character doesn't have a sense of pity, nor can he or she truly understand the value of mercy, both of which can be very important to building an RP. That said, your character is your own, and I hope you don't take this as anything but friendly advice!

At any rate, I wouldn't ask for "famous" roleplayers. I've found that the case is that the more renowned people tend to be so because they are active, or play characters that are less 'good' than they are funny or strangely unique. Just ask for some advice straight up, and I'm sure you'll find plenty of good answers. In this case, you can't really take one class and apply it to every race and situation. There are many different types of paladins, many flavours of a warrior. There are enchanters and conjurers, evokers and illusionists. There are blood mages, shadow mages, things of a nature that go beyond 'mage' and 'warlock'.
A rogue is probably the most varied. Assassins, pirates, or even simple cutpurses, what makes a character a rogue is completely up to you.

What you need to learn are the basics. To that, I suggest referring to the list on the Story Forums or even just playing Warcraft 3 and looking around Wowpedia for information that even a rock should know. Once your character knows that stuff, a lot of the details don't matter. What does he care about the state of Dalaran? King Magni is a big statue? Does that make you any money? Nah, so who cares? The most important part is writing a character that's yours.

...I'm a little hurt by this statement.

Pang and Sadiq come to mind on horde side. Good grief those guys are good and play fund characters.

Alli side, Duo was pretty famous. I wrote The Rogue for him after he and the Skulls rescued Gen once. Rogues are like anything else, you have all flavors. Twobits is a gnome rogue who is quite a lady's man and completely incorrigible. Ettin is fun. She's pretty cold-blooded. Arlston is the silent, watcher type.

Just decide what you want to do and play it out. Characters evolve and grow as you play them. On the plus side, people are willing to help others with their rp, so this is a good server.
