World of Warcraft®

I have came to the conclusion after the past several days that I am not overly welcomed within the RP communities of wow so with this said I just want to say farewell I am leaving RP and I will be focusing solely on PVE or whatever else comes to mind at the time. I had fun with the RP while I had it and I’ll always remember the good times I have had with everyone. I just feel like I’ve done something wrong and yet I have no idea what I did half the time im ignored or looked over. I try my best with the RP that I do, I never claimed I was perfect with my grammar or typos. Well anyway I had fun and all but I think it’s time I move on with something else and want to bid everyone farewell. I’ll still play wow but I just won’t RP Anymore.

If it matters any, I didn't think you did anything bad. I can't speak for anyone else, but during the time that I RPed with you, I enjoyed the experience.

If you change your mind, just let me know.

I've never rped with you, but that sucks :< Take care man.

Wish I could say this was the first time I have seen thoughts like this. Sorry that you ended up feeling this way. There are a few on this server that want you to be perfect in RP and have their own clicks, if you are not in it well... I for one think that as long as you try and are not doing it to be offensive all the power to you. If you ever decide to join the "dark" side (we have better cookies anyway) I know a few that will RP with you. Could also give you a couple of good names from that side of the fence. Good luck to you on whatever you decide to do and have fun! It is supposed to be a game after all. *winks*

p.s. I know a couple of good people that are grammar police and they don't really mean harm by it or to put anyone down. It is just a pet peeve they can't help pointing things out. Perhaps you may have run into people like this and it was nothing against you.

I'm sorry to hear this, Keyesh; I've enjoyed the times you've joined with War Council or other RP events, and I'd like to see you stay and give it another shot. But the end goal of the game is to have fun, and if you aren't having fun, you need to make changes so that you can.

You'll continue to be welcome in any RP I'm involved in, including hits on the Horde or fending off people who think Rage is a rabid dog who should just be put down. ;) If you want to sit down and have a talk about some ways to be involved, I'd be happy to offer suggestions and put you in touch with people, etc. Don't give up on us yet, man. :D

.

I'm sorry to hear you're leaving, I had fun RPing with you and spending all that time sharing lore to help you work on your background. That's something I love to do, ask questions so people have to think about the little things in their backstory.

I'm also like Kyalin in that I have to go afk without notice sometimes (remember how many times I said "brb" when we last chatted? lol) especially during the day.

Here's to not being afraid to say "I'm not having fun" and deciding to do something else! I wish you the best of luck.

Well, I just hope that it's being done in error. I enjoyed RPing with him, even though it was only once, and would love to again. :)

I think im more going to take a break from RP I apologize if my post offended anyone really it wasn't attended to do that. The Rp on both factions are really good I enjoyed them a lot when I did it just right now with things going on in real life and the fact I should get in the habit of Raiding again and gearing my toon's anyway I just wanted to clarify that i wasn't trying to insult anyone just expressing more how i feel. I can't change what i said but what is done is done i suppose..

I'm not offended, just very, very surprised. Every time I turned around you had a story going. Much of the time they weren't stories I could easily get involved in because they were personal stories, but you were always invited to join us. You went on many of our events and I know we've been involved in some of your stories. I'm not really sure what else to do.

Perhaps you just need a break for a while.

Yeah....pretty much in a nutshell I do need a break......

I did not get the chance to RP with you but hope that I will someday, when you decide to give it another shot of course. :) I don't think anyone was offended, just sad to see you go.

Also, being new here as well, it does seem hard to break into the storylines people have going. I am enjoying myself and having fun, but am trying to figure out ways to break into things. Perhaps the RPs on both sides of the server should plan something so new RP's can meet old characters, or old RPers can introduce new characters. That way we can start making new storylines involving everyone, and of course not to the exclusion of old ones, just additional ones.

((Feels like that was very convoluted of me, I hope it makes sense >.<))

That is a good idea, also on that note for Keyesh's stand point in character as I take this break he's going to be in some random beach in kalimdor with sunglasses upon his eyes, sipping lemon aid, enjoying a nice tan..........D

((At one early point in my guild's life, when we were called The Reclamation instead of The Ebon Sanction, I was running weekly RP Introduction seminars in Stormwind, even if they only ran two or three times. It was a great way for those who were new to RP, or wanted to dip their toes into it, or just hear what it was about, to meet the more established RPers on our realm.

I know that recently, Galahn was also attempting something like this Alliance-side, and it sort of petered out.

This said, it's an awesome concept, and might be worth reviving, if only to have a general semi-IC social that's detached from current storylines (which are admittedly rather convoluted right now; we're in the midst of some kind of server-wide stuff as a result of a variety of factors) so people can just meet each other.

Would someone be willing to do likewise Horde-side? I can probably squeeze out some time to put something like this together again.

Likewise, however, attending more general RP recurring events like Da Doctas' Clinic in Orgrimmar, The Light & You in Stormwind, the War Council in a rotation of Alliance locations, Feathers of Iron Inn in Booty Bay, and similar events is a great place to meet the RPers of the realm; just talk with one of them who seems on the active side, pull 'em aside OOC, and let them know you're interested in becoming more involved in the stories being told, and you'll find yourself thrown headlong into a brewing war between our factions, mystery and intrigue from those who fight it (or don't) in their own unique way...

And gnomes. Gods help us, they get into everything.))

Pia hosts Troubadour Night every other Monday and The Clinic on the odd Mondays. Feathers Inn is Tuesday in Booty Bay hosted by Feathers of Iron. Wednesday is the Light and You Sermon hosted by Genevra, Thursday is campfire storytelling in Northshire or Goldshire to get youngsters involved in rp and to help them out with bags and armor etc as well as entertainment.

The Box Socials we host every couple of months is open to everyone and we highly encourage people to attend even if they don't want to donate a lunch or buy one. It's still a fun excuse to get together and meet people.

These are planned events, but they are wide open. People usually hang around and visit afterwards. They can mention something that's going on in their life and often get people interested in their rp stories.

With very few exceptions, Pia rp is wide open. We announce several times in allianceooc if there's something people can get involved in. Heck even in the ic pvp we usually have youngsters come along if they want. It's not always about winning.

The Blue Recluse usually has someone there. If people has some kind of rp story going on they often go there and discuss it in public so it's not happening on the forums only. I've had several people overhear a conversation and approach me offering to help. We have an ic discussion about the situation and they roll with whatever is going on.

Now, if someone is talking about their boyfriend cheating on them with their best friend, a lot of people won't get involved just as you wouldn't if you overheard that conversation in a restaurant. People also don't often get involved if a character has been assaulted, stabbed, beaten, impregnated by a demon, possessed by evil spirits, sent on a mission by the gods and now speaks words of death over anyone who drinks mead in the course of fifteen minutes and all in the Recluse so everyone can run to their rescue. People will usually jump up and try to save someone or heal them, but after about the fourth time in a matter of minutes they do start getting ignored.

If someone walks in limping and looking pale, someone will usually ask if they can help. If someone walks in, sits down in a corner alone and starts reading a book, chances are people will nod at them when they walk in and that's about all.

Sometimes people are busy and can't stop to get involved in someone's rp right then. Pia does ic interviews in the Recluse as does Ocheliad. It's hard to stop to carry on multiple conversations about the dog, the hog and the frog that are lost, but after the interview we certainly can. Pia usually tries to visit if people are visiting with us even if we are interviewing, but we do keep he focus on the interview. Even then just about every interview, someone will make a comment about one answer or question or another. That makes it fun and often livens up the interview even if we are laughing in private.

Someone bet me once I couldn't find random rp on an unknown, unguilded character. I furthered the bet and said I could do it without saying a word. That was a fun and easy 500 gold.

I was contacted by someone last week and asked if there was some way they could get their new horde guild involved in the Abominus wedding thing. I told him it was wide open. They could figure out what their guild wanted to do, jump in and we would help them.

Abominus is very generous with his rp and always has been. We talked about this the other day. It was just something silly to start with and now just about everyone is getting involved one way or the other and both of us couldn't be happier. Not that Gen is very happy ic, but her pilot is pretty amazed at how many people have jumped in. She's getting the wedding of her dreams...just not to the right man.

Sometimes all it takes is asking some of the older established people.

hmm...i have to consider that advice and try not to do that sort of thing in the future
