InGame RolePlay Ideas Various Roleplay Ideas EditThe following are various ideas that can be played out by the use of extensive emotes.

• Strangers at a tavern Easy to do and has not been done to death. Everyone in your role playing group goes into a tavern and sits down. Depending on the Character's experences and lore, each player will act differently then the next. The possibilities are limitless.
• Zoo-master/Petting zoo owner Collect pets and set up a small scale petting zoo for people to enjoy!
• Poet/Minstrel One of the most fun characters to play, you get to be creative, writing songs and poetry and have people *gasp listen to you! Don't make songs about you killing the Lich King though, you'll get ignored more than admired.
• City Tours Become a lore expert and take people for guided tours of the city. Leaves a lot of room for creativity!
• Ghost Tours Similar idea to the previous, except with ghosts! Maybe get your group to party with you, and have a friend go in ghost form for them to be chased by.
• Hunting Trips Are you a seasoned hunter, or just a fan of the big game? Don't have to be a hunter to enjoy the sport! You don't need to be the next Hemet Nesingwary though!
• Safari Run a safari service by yourself or a few friends. Take people for tours of the barrens and its inhabitants.
• Fortune Telling Another really fun one, you get to tell people what is going to happen in their lives
• Psychologist/Councillor Listen to peoples problems all day and try to diffuse some of their anxieties (Good for a priest. Tried this. ~~)
• Odds-n-ends collector / Trader Hey, don't throw away that grey item! One man's trash is another's treasure. Show off your.okay lets face it, trash.
• Games master Spend all day coming up with and hosting games between people, maybe try to get an actual chess game going using KnightB2-C5 style? Perhaps your character is a master at something, and has attitude.
• Saint/Samaritan Perhaps its part of your characters persona to help people in need, maybe under influence of the light? Works well for Paladin/Priest. Not so easy for Warlock/Death Knight.
• Graveyard Keeper So many graveyards in Azeroth, and who is there to look after them? Sell flowers and keep those shields upright as you keep the places of mourning.
• Comedian This one is tricky, but if you can pull it off, you'll get lots of love! Write up some jokes and draw in a crowd in Orgrimmar or Stormwind. No Tauren burger jokes in Horde cities.
• Garbage Collector So much litter around the trade regions, sweep around people, avoid the hobos and keep Azeroth clean! (Can run into some interesting encounters with hobos, business owners, estate agents?)
• Party Liaison People have parties and weddings all the time in Azeroth! Why not be a service to these people by getting in touch with all the entertainers, finest chefs, comedians, fortune tellers and the like to book for peoples events? Great for PR!
• Gypsy Start your own folk collective by yourself or a few friends, engage another culture completely foreign to your native one by becoming nomads of the land, with a fondness for campfires, dancing and singing.
• Deviant Dealer People from some walks of life need a fix, sometimes in no other form than deviant fish! Treat them as a banned substance, make your shady deals out the back of cut throat alley away from the guards!
• Speech therapist / accent expert Become a master of the various dialects and speech mannerisms of azeroths inhabitants. From the ey mon, to the RAAAAAAAARG me smash undead! To the muuuuruurururggghhh of a murloc!
• Dockmaster Become the chief official of the docks of Menethil, or the zeppelins of Orgrimmar, providing regular /yells about departure and arrival times. Name the ships yourself, make your office the unused ship, and keep your cloak smelling of salt and gin! The Salty title would be good here.
• Holiday Agent Some people want a holiday? You know where to go (and in what season!) provide packages with the safari, hunters clubs, organize a tour, or maybe just a quiet night at a bed and breakfast owner.
• Bed and Breakfast owner Maybe you own a nice house in the middle of no-where and like to treat your guests with the best hospitality one can provide. Bookings might need to be essential.so you're there.
• Animal rights protectionist Everyday a critter is molested somewhere in Azeroth. Start your plight by the protection of chickens and rabbits, maybe even the level 50 owls.. Diseased grizzly bears? DEHTA worker?
• Private Investigator Investigate strange happenings outside the official channels. Work with SI:7 for assignments, or go renegade. Not always rp, players might need them anyway.
• Town Crier Those overpaid bums walking around the city, spouting news only the council wants you to hear about! Send forth reports of distant war with your fellows, keep up to date on great auctions, even some gossip? Don't yell about nothing though!
• Peace Activist / Hippy We may be on a PvP server, but why not roleplay a peaceful attitude? Roleplay yourself being strapped to trees in Stonetalon mountains, and try talk that undead rogue out of gutting you.
• Master chef its one thing to have 300 cooking skill, but something else entirely to create your own wonderful masterpieces! Use the forums, letterbox tabloid to give directions on making dishes such as, Stuffed elven ear, Chicken soup, Boochy steak!
• Tool TraderPeople always need that extra arclight spanner, a spare hammer or a replacement pickaxe because the old one is broken, so why not sell these things to them, for the right price of course.
• Policeman give people speeding tickets, arrest people selling illegal herbs such as bloodthistle or get in a mount chase with a player from the opposing faction this is a very fun role and why not start a police force guild.
• Exterminator why not get hired to take care of some nasty sillthids, ahn'qraj better watch out.
• Inn Keeper A very nice way to make some gold. Charge people a few copper to stay the night but be a nice, hospitable bartender and the people will love you.
• Lone Wolf You are cold quiet and calm, preferring to work on your own. Lone wolves, however, always have a dark side, often being cruel and brutal in combat, and only working for others if money is involved(ideal for forsaken,worgen,death knights and warlocks).

Come with your own idea.. I remember there being a theater idea, and I've seen a few stages around in Brakmar.. I'm sure they have those in other nations as well. Get together with some friends, write a script, gather the crowd and give them a great show

well i duno about half the places that could corespond to the wow spots (since i have only been in bonta, got a little carried away with my planting/forestry XD)

but there are many small stages dotted about the maps (in bonta)
many small campfires, a handfull of stalls. i know of at least one ball pitch area (in bonta) but i dont know if there is an item you can use to play spots with there (i think it might relate to the 'score as many goball ball's' chalenge)
the should be at least one tavern in the village. there is allways the nation's recrutement and information building (old astrub)
we have the sewers in astrub and there are many dotted about the area of a nation (bonta has some linking the bridges to the edges of maps i think) so we dont *have* to do stuff allways in the mines if we want underground atnosphere.

we can get to incarnum easily so we can use the dojo there for some practice type style rp

my only real problem is the emotes we have available can be limited. we have little chance getting the no emote (becasue it takes so long to get the celestial gobbal to spawn. i think they need to change the emote you get to something less important to comunicating, and more to something showy, like flexing your muscles or showing off your coin purse maybe?.....ether that or change 'learning to read' so that instead you need to actualy READ all the notes and boards and even the glowing slabs in incarnum to get 'learn to say NO', and add something else to getting the celestial gobball to show up)

alot of emotes arent available unless your characters ether high enough to have done the achevements, or your rich enough to have bought some from the store...

(unless people are fine with using spoken emote replacements like *sneezes* or *blows nose* style stuff)
it was much easier in wow casue we had the use of add ons to help. we had the /e emote where we types /e and then followed it up with what we wanted.
( for example /e blows her nose came up as Silverbane blows her nose and so on)
we had a reasonable amount of /command type emotes aswell so you only realy needed the /e if there was something you wanted to do that wasnt in the emote list...

but there are so many places we can try rolepaying here. this games world seems to have been built with it in mind lol

Good job Silver

I'm up for this

The best we can do is to put it up as a suggestion. Shouldn't bee to difficult for them to make, and I don't see why they shouldn't make it.

In the meantime let's just go with some system we make up ourselves. Personally I like to make plain text as emotes and speech as "speech"

When it comes to roleplay I usually just play out my character the best I can. Being a sacrier means being crazy and dangerous, well to me it does anyways. I just gave my sacrier a twist making him a kind caring person.. who laughs at pain.

RP events and even RP sessions are great fun, but they are difficult to plan and play out. When it works though.. it's worth the trouble  

RPing is easier in Dofus/Wakfu than in WoW. Anything related to dungeons, fights, ect. were almost never RPed, unless you were SEVERELY outleveling the content. Even this late in Cata, you'd be hard pressed to find people RPing the Lich King fight.

It's a lot easier in Dofus or Wakfu, at least for those of us who type relatively fast, because you can actually RP during the heat of the battle without sacrificing all that much. You sacrifice time in Wakfu, due to initiative bonus, but that's a small price to pay for good RPing.

Something I've had loads of fun with. Have a Xelor charge up the Dial, put the group in the midst of a dangerous enemy/enemies, and prepare for a Big Damn Heroes moment of epic proportions, when the Xelor suddenly teleports in after 3 turns, and unloads massive pain on the enemies, thus saving the day.

Wonderful xD

And of course: POKEMON BATTLES!

Pidgeotto, I CHOOSE YOU! *Crow?*

That's true.. haven't really thought about that ^^

I really think we should get together some time.. I assume most of you.. if not all.. are on the Remington server?

Right now I'm considering having a company party at the Brakmar Village Inn soon enough, as it seems my newly founded company The Hamster is a great success, and I want to celebrate that in a RP kind of way. getting some chefs and bakers to make some nice brews and dishes and then gather some players for a party  

well with the war we had this weekend, i made myself a one woman guild..called it Land Girls
(in RP to the fact that outlaws were running past me and i was just..meh *goes back to planting wheat*)

however. that makes me wonder..we have (hopefully going back to at least) the weekend war system...now i know that there is no real reason to farm for foods ect in game but...if we have weekend wars IC, what about IC dig for victory ect?

meaning, if there is a war every weekend..and IC its perhaps that each weekend(war) is part of a longer ongoing war( thats IC sometime we arent loooking at chronologicaly in one line....gha....)

okay. so weekdays of peace = timeline part where the nations have decided to band together to kick Ogrest's arse...
weekends of war = part of a later (or earlier) timeline where the 4 nations bickered about the resources and fought ect...

so then, in a real war, you need to feed the troops..but not in the game. but that shouldnt stop you IC pretending you need to plant wheat to make bread to IC feed the troops.
... i think i made my brain hurt lol
