In my opinion it was a mix and it could be hard to come across out in the world. While I only played on Nostalrius (Alliance) for about 6 months, I did join a guild where we basically did spontaneous RP mixed with some planned IC dungeon/questing and some classic tavern RP or hangouts in different world areas. Sometimes we had players who'd be intrigued and join in on the fun but most of the time, if in heavily populated areas, you'd have a bunch of trolls trying to kill it for you - though, it never worked for them as we just pretended they didn't exist, hah! There were also other guilds on the server, mainly raid, that had some dedicated roleplayers, who from time to time looked for contact on the /RP channel. It was quite active towards the end and you could always find someone who'd be down for some casual stuff or some spontaneous adventure.

Me too! Make sure you join our group on Discord and connect with fellow RP'ers!

Preferred Faction: Alliance Timezone: CET (GMT+1). I'll be playing mostly afternoons and evenings (from 4pm to 1am CET). Weekends will vary due to job. Class: Mage, Hunter or Rogue What I'd like to see from the group?: I'd really enjoy a social and tightly knit community of players who'd be interested in doing casual RP, exploring different storylines, eventually arrange cross faction events/PVP and do IC questing and instances from time to time.

So far I'll be rolling on the fresh realm but nothing is decided yet in my case. For me it really depends on what direction this up and coming RP community takes. Honestly, I think I'm the definition of the stereotype you have in mind. While I do enjoy PVP from time to time, I'm much more into RP and PVE, hence why I exclusively played 6 years on a retail RP realm. I really hope that all those who wants to roleplay, new and old, decides to roll on the same server.

I must admit that I find it rather hard to share my opinion upon this matter since you left out any information about yourself. Not knowing anything about you nor your experience as a guild leader, and also what kind of RP/setting you're planning on doing, will make it really hard for people, at least like me, to follow you and your idea. Just a friendly tip

Aww that sounds great, I wish I had a better half who could make decisions for me like that ^^. Maybe she'll join in for the RP? Anyhow, let's definitely keep in touch, if you are on discord make sure to join the channel I made for our newly founded community https://discord.gg/J8pJ9ZU. Pleasure to meet you Panos and welcome! I'm most likely also rolling on the fresh realm, though with yesterdays news, I'll probably start out continuing my old toon on Nost PVP while waiting. Maybe see if any of my old guildys will return and convince them to roll on the fresh server And yes you're absolutely right about the upcoming community needs to stick together and keep communications alive - that's why I, at least for now, took the liberty to setup a discord channel here called ElysiumRP: https://discord.gg/J8pJ9ZU Even though there is an official Elysium channel, with over 2K+ members, I feel it would be better to have our own little private space to discuss future plans and socialize in general. For now I think keeping this forum alive is crucial and exchanging thoughts like in this thread will (hopefully) make people interested in becoming part of the community.

Great news guys, really looking forward to stress testing later this month!

Oatgrain - good to meet a fellow day one player (I stopped around Cataclysm, played on a European RP server since 1.10) and great that you're joining us. I'd be happy to roll a Horde character on a PVE server with you, even though I've always been a bigger fan of the Alliance. I don't have high expectations myself but still cross my fingers that a tight knitted community will develop within the next few months. Funny you should mention the spread like a disease effect as that actually occurred on Nost a few times when I was playing there. One of the best moments I had was when me and my guild were doing some quest RP and managed to attract a few people, who decided to follow us around for quite some time, not taking part, but just enjoying the show so to say. Eventually they saw how much fun we had and decided to join in, which I think was really awesome because they didn't really have any RP experience prior to that. If you're planning to RP, then I can confirm the MyRoleplay addon v2.2.2 worked fine on Elysium and probably will too on the new servers.

Greetings With the merging of Nostalrius and Elysium, I was wondering if the dev team has considered of changing the timezone to CEST/UTC+1? I do recall Nost running CEST and while not certain of the demographics, I do have a theory that most players of both communities are predominantly European. I personally think that it would benefit the playerbase to use this system in regards of planning guilds, raiding, events and organizational stuff in general.

Hopefully it will be a positive and healthy contribution to the server! I haven't played on Elysium for long and so far I find that roleplayers are hard to come by. We did have a nice RP community on Nostalrius, at least on the Alliance side and I do hope some of those people will find their way to the new server. My biggest hope is that we can establish communication between different groups who'd be interested in roleplay and collectivity create some fun and epic storylines in between all the questing and raiding. Personally I'd be ready to put some effort into it as the sole reason I play WoW to this day is because of the RP - which unfortunately is lacking in the private vanilla scene. My fear is that nobody will give a damn, the merge will mean nothing and a community will never get to thrive properly because the demand and interest is low or non existing.
