U.S. Weekday IC Dungeon/leveling buddies?

Love RP? Itching for a new alt? Read on!

I'm an adult (aged 35), writer, longtime RPer and casual WoW player. Here's the idea I had for any mature, RP-minded folks who are interested in starting a fresh character and having some regular leveling-buddies.

****
MAJOR CAVEAT: I can really only play WoW on non-holiday weekdays Mon-Fri, between 9am Pacific time (noon Eastern) and 3pm Pacific (6pm Eastern). So basically, when most people are at work or school (including my daughter!). So if you are not available during the US workday, you need read no further. :(
*****

GENERAL IDEA: Regular meeting times (frequency up to whoever's interested) on either Cenarion Circle or Wyrmrest Accord server (TBA). We start new characters, RP them together in a sort of casual, flexible storyline, and level them up together doing dungeons and quests IC. Maybe even Battlegrounds if you're into that! There will be rough goals for each meeting (like, run through X & Y dungeon, or do X quest chain) and there will also be some leeway for you to do your own thing outside of the meetings, so long as you stay in a decent level range of the group.

DETAILS: To be worked out depending on who's interested. I'm open to Horde or Alliance, any race, and I will play whatever class is most needed for the group. We can go very deep with the storyline or just keep it basic and vague ("group of friends practicing their skills"). I am willing to meet as infrequently as once a week, or as often as every non-holiday weekday (if the every-day meetings are no more than about an hour and a half on average - I do have writing to do, too!)

The most important things to me are 1) availability during this odd timeframe and 2) interest in roleplaying a character as opposed to being overly obsessed with gear and racing to level cap and being uber. I'm a smell-the-roses type and love immersing myself in Azeroth.

I prefer responses on this board, because I have a bajillion alts and may not check Mishalah's mail often. :-)

Let's just start by seeing who is available during this timeframe and thinks it sounds like a cool idea. I would like a group of 3-5 people before we start hammering out details like who wants to tank, how are we going to structure this, etc.

INTERESTED SO FAR:

-poMishalah, enjoys any role/race, waiting to choose based on others
-poAlviira, interested in a disc/shadow priest, no preference to faction
-*poFuren, interested if group is on CC server, wants a Horde warlock
-poNia, interested if group is on WRA or SoE server, prefers Alliance
-*poGentyl, interested if CC/Alliance
-poGwainith, interested if on WRA, slight Alliance preference
-*poNorbil, interested if on WRA, may be willing to try CC
-*poTlachinolli, willing to do anything anywhere but craving a NE priest!
-poSohei, either server, either side, must leave by 2pm Pacific (5pm Eastern)

(Ignore the stars, they're to remind me of who I've talked to at most length so far or who has had particular suggestions :-) )

I want to help all the people who are looking for rerolls. Feel free to post in my thread and keep yours open.

I am available during the times you posted! I am more than willing to make an alt and rp with you. I live on west coast, but I am a retired person who is bored all day and looking for a more casual approach to rp.

I am better at healing and have been wanting to level a disc/shadow priest. Faction is totally either way I have no preferrence.

Ok! I will add you to the original post, and also post a notice in your other thread! :-)

Let's give this a few days to see how many people we can get, and then we can start making plans.

Sounds good to me! Anytime you want to rp in game now I have some characters on WRA. Sydric is my DK with a tiny level 1 guild with 4 tabs that never went anywhere, because people got fed up with lack of good game content and left...not my fault!!

Anyway, I have several alts there if you want a friend in WRA. I have a priest on Alli side male NE at level 3. Name is Haroler

Sounds interesting, I'm up for IC group leveling. I'm usually on during the weekend and willing to start up something on any realm. I've got a preference to the Alliance, but willing to go Horde if it heads that way.

Right now, its probably best to just contact me here. I check the forums frequently.

Ah, whoops. Sorta passed over that (Isn't wearing his glasses :S ). Well, I guess that scratches me out. Anyhow, good luck finding people!

Hehe! No worries! I updated the first post & title to make it a bit clearer, since I do tend to ramble on...

Given how many RPers do not frequent these forums, today I am going to poke around in-game to see if there is anyone currently playing that might be interested in this! I'll keep ya posted.

Got a couple of tells, but in general chat on WRA there was a big argument going on about whether or not all RPers are horrible people, so ironically my friendly invite got completely ignored, LOL. Gotta love the vocal minority, eh?

Edit to add: Got a response to a posting on the Cenarion Circle boards (either want to do this on WRA or CC, so I posted on both). I have added his name to the OP.

More edit: Added a couple of contacts from WRA as well.

Roll a baby on CC and whisper anyone in Pia Presidium. They'll get you into channels to meet people and you can decide if you want to play there. I have some babies to level, but I'm not very fast at it. I spend too much time messing around with rp.

I'm also a writer, but I'm off duty on job right now.

If you'd rather roll horde, whisper anyone in Homeland and they will help. A lot of Homeland chars have alts in Pia and vice versa and we're all pretty laid back and try to help youngsters.

Hey! Got your poke from WRA.. still interested in the RP alt idea and whatnot if its on WRA. Don't have a preference for race or faction and those times should work fine for me!

Very cool advice Gentyl! Thanks for the info!

I have some babies on CC right now, I mean BRAND new. Edson the Forsaken mage and Adella the human rogue. I'm just using them to get reacquainted with the game and community right now, but anyone can send in-game mail to either of those and I will probably check it at least once a day.

For those who want to contact me on WRA, this character is your best bet. I don't really have an Alliance character over there (yet).

Adding you to Zee Master Leest. I'm going to start narrowing things down Monday based on who I think will be most compatible. A group of 5 would be ideal, so tell your friends and stuff :-)

I will make a race/class character whatever the group deems best. Although I am not used to playing horde at all, and wouldn't know about their quests and stuff. And I would be a female character.

Thanks for the info! And sometimes it can be fun to experience quests for the first time IC as part of a group. That is how I discovered WoW, and it was so much fun. Haven't decided for sure on Horde/Alliance side yet, though, so just hang tight! Will have to see what the majority are interested in!

Have you decided on realm yet? I have some Alli and Horde both on CC and room for more. Also room on WRA.

I am honestly leaning toward CC at this point because I have gotten such a warm welcome there! But I am not 100% decided. Once I decide, I will move discussion to the appropriate realm forum :-)

Maybe it's time to start talking about what our preferences are for days/times for our meetings, and how we want to set things up? How much should we do together and how much should we do on our own? How involved should the storyline be? Do we want to make up a shared backstory for our characters or have them all just be meeting each other? All the same race or different races?

Let's hear your thoughts, interested parties! :D

Hello! I've talked to you in-game already, but I'm interested. I'd be happy with either WRA or CC. For various reasons my free time may end up limited so I should probably be a DPS so if I'm occasionally missing it's not a big deal for instance running. I've been wanting to RP a night elf priest for a while so that would be preferred, but I'm willing to put up with almost anything.

Faaaaaaaaantastic! Your flexibility means that it'll be a breeze to fit you in with the group, but I will make a note of your NE priest cravings. I'm excited!
