World of Warcraft®

I'm looking to start fresh on a new RP server to have fun with other folks (I'm from WRA originally) and before I get a character going I'd just like to know..

Is the rp good here? Always something going on?
Is the community friendly?
Is there a little bit of everything? (raiding, rp, pvp, etc)

thanks in advance!

No it's not active and hasn't been since the middle of Cata, coming from someone who's been on SoE for almost 6 years now. You're better off staying on WrA or going to Moongaurd, those are the ones with the highest pop and most activity. Good luck in your search!

Yeah, I used to be on SoE. Horde side.. it -used- to be what I would consider the best RP server around. But the RP has basically been destroyed, and most of us have migrated to WRA. I'd suggest staying where you are, if only for RP purposes..

Hi, Vethene! I certainly can't speak for the Horde-side, but there are a couple of ongoing events on the Alliance-side! The only one I can personally vouch for happens every other week on Thursday evening. We have a story-telling night in Darnassus at 8:30 Central. (It'll be coming up next week.) You're very welcome to join us, if you'd like! (And that invitation goes out to everyone reading this, of course.)

I find that there's more walk-up RP than there used to be, but fewer RP-only guilds and more RP-optional ones. We're also going to be connected with the Cenarion Circle folks, and it sounds like that have some great events. The community tends to be very friendly, but it can be hard to find, just because people tend to keep different times. Just like any other realm, I wouldn't commit to SoE before trying it out, but please let us know what we can do to make your possible visit with us comfortable while you try SoE for a test drive!

Welcome welcome!

When I moved to SoE from Maelstrom long ago I found the RP on this server to be very good in terms of quality, yeah it didn't have the numbers like MG and now WRA, but the quality of the RP has always kept me coming back for more and more. Well four years later I'm still here and don't regret coming here at all. With being connected to Cenarion Circle, we've seen a boost in RP in all departments, however when our cross-connection was stalled it left us standing like this for the time being. So while things are a little slow right now, we're seeing progress with time, more people from CC coming over to SoE, and more RP interaction happening between the two servers which helps both of us.

The community is friendly depending upon who you talk to, like anyone in life, we all have different personalities. Some welcoming, some questionable, and others you rather just not deal with unless they're your cup of tea. However, most people I talk to on SoE that are fellow Role players are helpful and very friendly people. I'm always willing to meet new people and talk to fellow RPers no matter where they come from or how much RP experience they have.

As far as raiding and pvp goes, I sadly cannot help you in that department as I really don't get involved in the affairs of raiding and pvp guilds.

If you wish to come over and chit chat with us, the RP community channel is RPchatter for both Alliance and Horde. Come test the waters, meet people, have a good time, take it slow, and see if this is where you want to come to visit for awhile or stay for longer periods of time.

Have a good evening and may your RP experience be enjoyable & never ending!

Holy necro! That night elf must be a corpse by now!

This kind of reminds me of how some politicians will use dead people's social security numbers to cast votes for them XD. It doesn't help your cause guys. Give it up.

I apologize. The thread was at the top of the posts and I didn't even think to check the date. *blush* I'll be more careful to check it next time. In the meantime, I re-apologize for the necro!

A honest mistake overall, no harm done. Besides, I can think of far worse things you/me could have done lol.

Sorry but... we're going to have to gank you now and camp your corpse for one hour.

*nods solemnly* It's only fitting!

*gently pats Philolune*

There, there. Some day you will look back on this and laugh.

So dead. So...very dead.

*sigh* Why does it take a paladin to ensure a dead stays that way:
*consecrates*
*holy water*
*offering to The Old Gods*
