Roleplay

Personally, I used to do a lot of roleplay. I purposefully moved my characters to the server Wyrmrest Accord to do it. It's a good waste of time and, with the right people, it's a very enjoyable experience. There are several addons that can assist and make RP more in-depth and enjoyable. The ones I used were MyRolePlay (MRP) MogIt and Outfitter. I roleplayed as a Death Knight of the Ebon Blade and even found a guild on Wyrmrest called <The Shadow Vault> that was centered around DK RP and I had a blast until it seemed everyone in that guild had their little online boyfriends/girlfriends and there was no room for a third wheel in RP anymore. It wasn't sexual, mind you, it was just a matter of they'd always end up paying more attention to each other than the other people involved in the RP. I can't count how many times I was able to just walk away unnoticed from guild RP. But, all-in-all, it was a fun experience. Hell, it even prompted me to draw my character because the amount of detail you put into describing your character makes it become nothing short of a masterpiece. Unless you're one of those cookie-cutter roleplayers that plays the "I'm a mighty adventurer and nothing effects me so I'm just here to drink beer and fight anyone at the drop of a hat" There's no depth there and you can find it at any bar.

Recently, I've noticed a trend of folks defending the Roleplay server Moonguard. Whenever a mild joke about how sexual this server tends to be, these MoonGuardian defenders of their realm step forth with gusto to try and downplay how NSFW the server in question -really- is. They tend to jump to conclusions when Moon Guard is called the whore server and take it that you're calling THEM a whore. Or even when the server is made fun of in light, casual conversation these folks drop in like SWAT from the rafters and start loudly defending their server. And, honestly, most of the time it's not the server as a whole they're defending. It's generally themselves that they're defending. Saying things like "There are decent, normal people on Moon Guard!" and "Not everyone ERP's on that server, it's just Goldshire, where people from off-server sully our play."  Look, I'm not trying to rustle anyone's jimmies here, but I've been to Goldshire and many other common hotspots for RP aboard Moonguard. If you think the off-server perverts are leveling characters from 1-90 just to dance naked and beg for gold, I've got some ocean-front property in Kansas I'd like to sell you. Those players aren't there to 'sully your server' and those players certainly aren't 'off-server perverts.' Those are your people. That's your server's normal population. Now I'm not saying EVERYONE from Moonguard is an ERP pervo lookin' for a quick cyberfuck. But the proof is in the pudding here that Moonguard is a server that is well-known for it's promiscuity. It's nothing against you, the individual player. But don't take up arms to defend a server that has been known for YEARS to be the epicenter of Warcraft rule-34 and sexual deviance.

All this came about when I was browsing twitter and the caption "keeping moonguard's subscriber base capped since 2014" was on a picture of the new human female models. I found it hilarious. Some Moonguardians did not. I know a few people that play regularly on MG and often I hear about what MG players want from the new expansion. Skimpier armor models for both males and females, the 'naked' player model to have thinner bra straps and thongs, more emote options with sexier animations. Look, this is all well and good and I have my pervy moments like any other 20-something year old man. But basing your game play and spare time around perving over an in-game character model? I guess the World (of warcraft) takes all types. I wonder if these moonguardians have looked into real women that can be much more eye-pleasing. Like Pamela Horton, Playboy's Miss October 2012 and World of Warcraft player.

We're now banging our heads against Garrosh Hellscream and hoping to have him defeated and on farm by next weekend!
