Just letting you guys know, a large portion of the RP community left SoE and went to other servers, WrA on Alliance side, MG on Horde/Alliance side. SoE is just a dead server, I wanted to believe it could be saved but it can't and it sucks, there is nothing there. MG Horde side is ok, stay out of the inn at the Bazaar nothing but trolls there, Alliance side is pretty good as well stay out of GS of course. WrA has a small community on Alliance side but good people none the less, Horde side on WrA I am unsure of haven't really seen it.
An open call to roleplayers on SoE (UPDATED)
Actually I'll disagree Khad, the server is far from dead.
The people that left? They're the ones that didn't want to help create a solution, the ones that expected rp to fall on their laps.

The Broken House hosts Storytelling in Thunderbluff at 7:00 PM, without fail.04/12/2011 12:32 PMPosted by KiuasAre there any more events to look forward to this coming weekend?
Bellamuerte promoted two "let's RP in Orgrimmar this weekend" sessions - one just this past weekend, the other about a month ago. I am sure they will happen again, but the main reason for promoting them was a desire to move some of the RP out of Silvermoon City and into Orgrimmar.
That has now happened, and because of that there may be less of a need to call for formal Orgrimmar RP weekends.
Check the inofficial SoE forums for a calendar or regular events:

@people who think we're lame
-Being away from SoE for so long must have given you the impression that we've died and somehow just sort of vanished off the face of Azeroth.
Good sirs, I implore you to consider the following : We are not dead and SoE is still lively. Maybe not as lively as it once was but I can still trek around RP hubs and find people RPing.
Granted we don't have the mass amounts of morons and idiots filling our RP centers, along with the dimwits who can't decipher the correct "to " and "there " ' s with the corresponding sentences.
And sure maybe all of the trolls from here went and left to MG to feed off of bigger fish. But I assure you, sirs. We are alive and well.
As Bellamuerte mentioned above the server needs to just stop reforming to their little cubby holes and get the heck out of their comfort zones.
Why, when I was still active in RP, me and my fellow peers nearly slaved to make things as transfaction and open as we could, creating workshops for RP, weekly to biweekly events, and every so often throw balls or large RP celebrations.
It's not that we're dying, it's that we're letting ourselves go. We're getting like old fat people who don't want to exercise and loose the necessary weight to look good and feel good again. And yes, maybe some people are right thinking we are DYING, but that does not mean all hope is lost.
What I want to know is all of who is left and who wants to make efforts to change.
That is all that is necessary to keep the natural flow and cycle of things running...

Also on a side note one thing I will mention that I always loved about this server is the consistency and the persistence of it's core group.
Those who love the server are loyal to it and will keep it going. To you my eternal love and admiration is given and I only wish I could have it in me to do what it is you do.
I won't list names because every one of you standing here has remained adamant.
Thank you all for making this such a wonderful place to be, even in the dark times.

I just want to say that I'd seriously consider these claims of "roleplay is dying" or "roleplay is dead" on this server if it wasn't for the fact that it's been said since at least the time of Ydur. Players have left the server or quit the game for various reasons, and unless we're personal friends with each and every one, we can't say for sure why they left. I know mine have pursued interests and close friends to other servers, school or career took priority (as it should), or they simply burned out. I can't and I won't begrudge that. It seems a lot of times, people make these server "end times" claims because they're not getting roleplay handed to them, someone denied their fifteen minutes in a plot, or a clique broke up and they're too good to interact with unfamiliar faces.
Alas, I'm preaching to the choir.
Kudos to those who have stepped in to help point people to those unafraid to go outside their alliance of cliques and engage anyone who expresses an interest in roleplay. I hope to see this thread reach its limit as people come up with and share ideas or how much they enjoyed the effort players put in to make these things happen. And while I don't do the event thing anymore, should you ever visit Team Blue and see me walking around, as always feel free to say hi.
Your friendly thread derailer,
