I'm up for that as long as we're playing Horde. I think there's a couple others that would play too.

Shall we try Maelstrom? I think Emerald Dream sounds nicer and will get more peeps faster.

On RP servers people are suppose to play the role of their characters.
When they speak, they speak for their character and not for themselves. So, you won't be getting normal speak such as, is this character your alt or you main.

You shouldn't hear, "the server is lagging" you might hear "Don't the days seem long today?"

Well, depending on the server swamping toinght, I am going to try and get either a Tauren or Troll shammy created on Mael.

Gonna be some damn good fun to RP a villanous character. Will have to take the Tauren honor into account if I roll a cow (hehe that reminds me of cow tipping :D ). A troll on the other hand can be all out brutal. Have some research to do at work today it seems.

no standing in IF seeing every other person calling someone else a 'n00b n1nj4 l00+3r', or any of that childish crap. plus, the PvP aspect will be something new for me.


i dunno, just feel like changing it up a bit. my Horde toon will be on Maelstrom, Alliance toon on the other one.


hopefully this will bring the RP aspect of MMORPG back for me.

I might create a undead or a troll on Mael, played the orc area a bit and the Cow area a bit before (not much but some)

I'll be joining you on Maelstrom with an Orc, not sure of the class...I've dabbled with shaman as a tauren but I'm tired of their starting area now :P.

Noooo!! Tell your buds to roll Alliance on Emerald. You gotta come Horde it up with us on Mael.

Then again, us on the Horde side will have some arch-enemies made already :twisted:

hehe...it was enough of a feat to get them to come at all. all of them have multiple 60's on Deathwing.

Maelstrom sound more horde-ish to me. ahh well. :cry:

Well that just sucks Al. You need a little stronger negociation skills. What's it to them what server they play on if they weren't keen on o=coming anyway? (sorry, just very excited about getting as many Avians as possible into this new thing/endeavour). Its gonna be a very different play experience (both the PvP and to be in-character).

For those using that mod where you can say custom things when fighting (I know Cy is huge into this), this server could be right up your alley. hehe

Anyone get in yet? Please post IG names here so we can get friends lists going.

got bumped from Maelstrom and was sent into a queue that was at 253 and climbing. When I was logged onto the server it was packed with people and only a few were RPing but I was only on for a few minutes

PVP and RP DO NOT go hand in hand

I expect every idiot and his brother to make a character on the new servers and do everything in their power to be complete asses...

PVP draws the WORST crowds.

Give it a month.

Doesn't Bliz watch out for this? I think I remember seeing how they were going to be pretty strict about the RP aspect.

Ideally, this could be a great server.

Staffing the RP PVP servers to monitor abuse would be costly, IMHO... maybe they will...

Damn. Knew i shoulda gone home at lunch to roll some place holder toons.

Da well, can a person enter a creation queue and then log into Dalaran? Probably not but just curious.

Might be a night with NHL 06 afterall...

Edit - place 487 in the queue now. Not bad after starting 1097!! :shock:
Thank god I could log in and then go eat/do dishes.

Got in and got the following rolled:
Krynger - Tauren shammy
Kymira - UD priest
Krysha - Troll rogue

GOnna level each to 2 in case that how they are removing placeholders.

I have a lvl 6 Undead Warlock on Maelstrom by the name of Samael.

Is there going to be a splinter guild over there?

It sounds like there are a few of us wanting to try playing there. However, I don't think it will become an official guild server for a little while and after some sort of voting process. (note - this is just my opinion going off of leadership's direction last week after ponderings of the Thunderhorn server guild).

Besides, I think it would be best to let the new server hype die down a little bit cause last night was a gong-show and very little in terms of RP going on in general chat with all the l33t d00ds and RP-haters running around rampant. I heard the devs are going to be strictly monitoring and booting those not RPing so I am hopefull still that this will be a cool server.

Purge - Undead Priest
ViolentCow - Tauren Shaman

I really want to try and level a Shaman but there were about 6 billion of them out there early this morning. Might roll a warrior too.

You know we may have chosen the wrong server.

The Maelstrom forums are alight with rpers vs pvpers. Emerald Dream not so mcuh.

Face it , your average PVP'er is an 11 year old moron who hasn't sunshine in a month, and thinks gaming is a substitute for real life.

Till they are all back in their usually hidey holes, there will be VERY little RP going on anywhere.

Yeah, I'm gonna stay away or at least turn off /general for a while when I am on there. Those low level quests typically don't need too much in the form of grouping anyhoo. Besides if we have fellow Avians on there, create an Avian channel and we can go to town in our own RP fashion.

i have had general off since day 1.


i was on twisting nether with my new pally and it was actually really nice. people were greeting in character, talking like jeger, etc.

i was doing the first dun morogh(sp?) quest with the wolves and another dorf came running at me, yelling 'Watch your back, friend! here comes another beast!'.

i was pleased. :P

also, if anyone makes an alliance toon on twisting nether, my pally's name is "Mjolnir". im sure Shadow knows what that means. i'll have a cow shammy on Maelstrom named "Novalis". i reserved the name, just havent had time to get back in.

Oh...that's in character?? I just thought he really was a drunken fool.

As for the rest, I've seen similar things the couple times I've started a character on an RP server. Hopefully Bliz will continue to police this...then going to Maelstrom could be a lot of fun. I've yet to make it in and create Luro.
