Raid burnout helped in that decision...<br /><br />That's one year ago though, and she's slowly grown into a full fledged character, I had a very vague idea of who she was back then, but she has grown into a proper character in the time I've done RP on her.<br /><br />She's in some kind of hunting guild/semi-military division, and it's rather fun, even though we tend to fight against a bit too many pretend baddies for my taste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-84044340076918576432010-02-08T20:32:41.253+01:002010-02-08T20:32:41.253+01:00/em Gnomeaggedon winds up a pyroblast

My style of RP is very basic and simple, “Hi my name is Cantique Songhammer. Ah doint baleeve we’ve met?” <br /><br />To me the roleplay is more important than spelling (omg I can’t believe she/he spelled “their” incorrectly.) As a partner of the interaction part of my job is to sort/sift through obvious mistakes and go on. Wouldn’t it be horrible if during an onstage production, someone from the audience yelled, “Hey you! You in the pink! …Your posture is horrible!” <br /><br />Cantique is laughing at her own clever analogy.Cantiquehttp://www.grandmasgame.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-56684705540655358662010-02-08T17:23:20.466+01:002010-02-08T17:23:20.466+01:00I've been roleplaying steadily for the last tw...I've been roleplaying steadily for the last twenty years or so, though I admit that I've never done it in wow (or any other video game). Somehow for me, roleplaying is about creating the world around me, even as I create my character and so I find video games a restrictive, stultifying environment. I just want to log in and kill stuff, saving my roleplay for pen and paper or online chats and instant messenger. <br /><br />That being said, I don't judge those that do use video games as their medium. To each their own. Over the years I've played a lot of places, made a lot of friends (and a few enemies). Loved and lost and loved again. The one thing that has resonated however, is the need for change. Sticking to the same thing can induce stasis. Characters reach a point where their story is over, where they've evolved as far as they will go, and to play them further would just stick you in the rit of mundane routines. <br /><br />My advice to recapturing that spark, is to change mediums. Not only do you have new things to kindle your ideas, but you find new people to inspire you. This could be a simple change, like swapping servers, or changing factions; or a radical departure, like leaving Warcraft and finding some pen and paper chats (world of darkness and L5R being two of the more popular online venues I know of). Meeting new people inspires me more than anything, and for me, Warcraft has always been what I do during my interlude between roleplaying games. <br /><br />Now, please excuse me while I try to work a pink-haired gnome bartender into a Mage the Ascension setting...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651508038177832077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-9550419387882846292010-02-08T16:18:19.713+01:002010-02-08T16:18:19.713+01:00I tend to get my inspiration from various sources....I tend to get my inspiration from various sources. Movies, books, songs, others' RP stories. Sometimes it's a specific scene, but usually just a character trait. I prefer to just pit the immovable object against the unstoppable object and watch the sparks fly.<br /><br />I usually stay completely in-character in public channels like /say and /yell. I usually keep party chat ambiguous unless the party clearly prefers either IC or OOC. So no in-character bickering, but no specific references to game mechanics either.<br /><br />As for grammar.. My WoW character spoke Orcish with a clear accent, so I'm not that bothered by it. If anything, overly complex sentences detract from the experience if it doesn't fit the character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178860601734528122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-42116455631270040162010-02-08T14:47:08.430+01:002010-02-08T14:47:08.430+01:00Oh dear, I totally didn't mean for my post and...Oh dear, I totally didn't mean for my post and it's comment to only focus on gnome punting, focus people focus! <br /><br />ooh shiny *wanders after shiny thing*Hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-47569769158931187462010-02-08T14:36:53.316+01:002010-02-08T14:36:53.316+01:00I heard that gnomes squeak when you punt them... m...I heard that gnomes squeak when you punt them... maybe we ought to test that out so we know for sure...Khaeliehttp://shamrockgirlslife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-56621439114149618912010-02-08T10:06:17.035+01:002010-02-08T10:06:17.035+01:00Hey!

We have run some instances in character but there's no way that guild will be raiding. And when so much of the game lore is tied up in raids, it's kind of difficult.<br /><br />I think that's why so much WoW RP tends to be trivial or silly. You can't do so much of the grim epic stuff unless you kill monsters.Copperbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100865526015929517noreply@blogger.com
