View Full Version : Warcraft RP

Now, I have yet to think of a storyline (Mainly because I just spent the last two hours reading up on Warcraft history [I'm still not done]). I think that there's a big possibilty for this to be amazing, or a huge failure. First things first, I don't have World of Warcraft, I don't have the money to pay for it. I respect those who don't have WoW, as well as those who do have it and are getting BC (W00T for nether drakes :P). We will be using the Blood Elves and we are going to be using the Draenei, but it will be complicated (for the Draenei), they have yet to come into contact with the Nightelves therefore any sightings and encounters would be...at least interesting. Battles would be inevitable considering how closely they resembled the Eredar Warlocks that invaded with the Burning Legion.

Anyways, we would be using the specific classes defined for each race, but we will not be using the specific spells defined for each class, as this is a RP not WoW. As for pets and mounts, you wouldn't have a pet red wyrmling if you're a gnome rogue would you? So keep it reasonable. Mounts, if it's a class specific mount then you may not use it (unless you are the class). If it's a horse, and you're a tauren, you wouldn't be able to ride it, would you? If you're too big for something then you can't ride it. If it's too small for a human to ride, but a dwarf or a gnome could ride it, such as a mechanostrider then keep it as such. If it's a mount found only in Kalimdor and you are in Azeroth, you wouldn't have it. We will also be using the new Draenei and Blood Elf mounts though I know almost nothing about them, as hardly anything has been revealed save a few screenshots. Most of this is common sense, though it brings me to my next point. I shouldn't get the excuse, "Well sure, I was born in Stormwind, but I went to Kalimdor and got the raptor" it's crap, realisitically one wouldn't travel all the way across the ocean unless there is a VERY good reason for it (Such as leaving with Jaina and going to Theramore, however you wouldn't be going back would you?).

Now once I decide on a story all of the above details will be pounded out, I don't think a good RP would start with all the players scattered across the planet, so I'll probably have us on one main continent. Also, if you have any ideas for a story be sure to post them, or if you have any requests on things I should change, then feel free to PM me or post them on this thread.

(PS I know there were a few Warcraft RP's, but those aren't mine and I'll try to make this a good one, and if it still fails then I'll come up with something totally original [I'm actually working on a world that I am making up, but another story for another time])

*sniff* Warcraft ruined my life. Lol. Anyways, I don't really know squat about Warcraft, so I'm afraid that I won't be involved in this one. I'm a little worried though. With all these new RP's coming about, what's going to happen to those that are still in play (I.E. Nephilim, Starcraft: Aftermath, etc. etc.) I dunno, just a thought. Anyways, if I manage to learn a bit more about warcraft, then I'll think about getting involved. Until then, I'm going to have to post "No." Sorry. :(

It sounds like a good RP and you seem to know your stuff... but I don't think I'd actually join since I don't know the slightest bit about warcraft. This became apparent when more then half of your post was gibberish to me :p

If the story's good enough and it looks fun I might read up on some Warcraft Lore (that or ask kongurous) so that I could play. So I'm voting "Intrigued, give me more though."

Sign up me too... I have pretty pathetic RPing skills, Still I wish to participate.
Can we have a storyline? Why can't we get one from existing?
Like, We all enter a Portal that Creates Bubble of Space and Time and are thrust into past. Where Alliance and Horde are defending World Tree against Archimonde? We all contribute in the Epic Battle!
Also, We have a Horde Vs. Alliance battle. Horde characters assist Thrall and Rexxar in assault against Theramore Citadel and Alliance charactrers are in Theramore Citadel trying to stop the ascent of Horde and Protecting Admiral Prodmore.

Of course, We can invent more stories.

I am in for sure. When you post up a story, you should probably though a lot of backround information in for the people who don't know very much about the whole universe. You know, history and racial information. It would help a lot of people out.

I'm trying not to use an existing storyline, merely because some of the people who know more abou the story may come in on anothers post and go, "Actually it happened like this." I probably would end up doing that since I'm a perfectionist like that.

Also here is a link to WoWWiki on Warcraft Lore (http://www.wowwiki.com/History_of_Warcraft)

Alright, 6 people Im sure is enough to start the RP so, I'll start typing up the story and by Monday at the latest it will be up.

Kongurous is going to be my co-GM in case I need to take a break, and also to help keep people in line. He also has given me some creative input so expect something great!

If either of you need any extra help, I'll do what I can (I may not be WC Lore God, but I do alright ;) )
