5 great spots for group roleplay

The Darkmoon Faire might have been a little dull once upon a time, but the location switch has certainly improved its image. Darkmoon Island presents a new area for roleplay that is full to the brim with entertaining games, NPCs and events to spark a roleplayer’s imagination. More importantly, it’s a neutral zone that both Alliance and Horde can enjoy without having to worry about attracting the attention of local guards. We haven’t really had a hub like that in Cataclysm, so it’s great to see one finally come into play, even if it is just one week out of the month.

For most roleplayers, when one considers a popular roleplay location, two immediately spring to mind — Stormwind City for the Alliance, and Silvermoon City for the Horde. For the Alliance, Stormwind is essentially the capital city that everyone flocks to. Even before the Cataclysm, it had plenty of out-of-the way locations, taverns and gathering spots. After, it’s only gotten larger. For the Horde, Silvermoon offered an actual city comparable to Stormwind, something the Horde was severely lacking in vanilla WoW.

But hey, who wants to roleplay in just one spot? Why not take the action someplace different?

Beginner Roleplay: Choosing sides

A lot of the columns I’ve been writing lately have been about the ins and outs of character development — how to create a character that is rooted in the world and has a sense of realism, what that character should be aware of. But those are only the stepping stones to developing a character once you’ve chosen what to be. How do you go about choosing a character in the first place?

While you could simply flip through the character creation screen and pick whatever looks pleasing to the eye, if you wanted to, you may want to give it a little more thought than that. If you’re looking for long-term roleplay, throwing aside a character because it just doesn’t feel right once you’ve gone through all the work to make it viable seems like a gigantic waste of time. So let’s break it down to the choices available, and the pros and cons of each, and make it a little simpler to figure out.

How to keep roleplay fresh in the face of an expansion

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In World of Warcraft, that player is you! Each week, Anne Stickney brings you All the World’s a Stage with helpful hints, tips and tricks on the art of roleplay in WoW.

Hearing news of an upcoming expansion can be both exciting and frustrating for a roleplayer. Exciting, because of course there’s going to be new places to explore, new storylines to consider, new outfits to collect, and of course about a zillion new spots for roleplay. It’s frustrating, however, because despite knowing all of this information and getting excited about all the news, there is little that you can actually do in game about said news until the expansion is actually here.

A glut of information about things to come is both a blessing and a curse to a roleplayer for exactly that reason. You yourself may know everything there is to know so far about Mists of Pandaria, but your character is clueless in the meantime. It’s the kind of information that can invigorate roleplay or kill it entirely, depending on how you look at it.
