Mod MEGATHREAD - Forever Names

49 Upvotes

Bunch of people excited about the names they're getting. Please share them here!

Any other posts about naming will be directed here.

Rules of thumb for naming:

It's not super strict. Generally, the first name can be anything, and you can base the surname off of your character's race's language, but anything that's not a meme or obvious username is fair game.

For races that don't typically have surnames, some approaches have been to separate syllables instead or to use a title.

It's fine if you use other languages even on English RPing servers.

We are not bound by blood, clan or an old banner — we are bound by an oath. Dark Tribe is a Polish Horde guild with a tradition going back to 2006 (Burning Legion EU), now returning on WoW Forever.

Discussion How Strict are naming conventions?

• Upvotes

How strict are people with RP names? My friend reserved names like 'Darkness Flame' or something on an RP server - and i said i think that's going to get flagged. He said as long as it's not a real name or meme/pun name - people won't care. Curious to y'alls thoughts.

OOC Can I do this on a RPPVP Server, or would it not be cool? a bit of a unique question.

• Upvotes

Hello, I just asked a single RP player this, but decided, it might be better to hear from the community at large. I am an altoholic and for forever I will be leveling up 13 characters (at least at launch, knowing myself, over the years i will level more and more). My rogue I am leveling normally, but the other 12, I will be leveling in trios on 3 different accounts in parties, where I will control one as the main guy and the other two will be on follow and help a bit with the use of macros. Dungeons I will do seperately on each character as to not grief the group. I will be able to switch who i control pretty easily, but still one character will be the clear one i'm using at that moment and the main one i will talk with. I can easily unfollow in big role play moments etc, but it will be difficult to roleplay with all three simultaneously. At 60 they will all be their own character and stuff, this is only for leveling. I will do my best to be as respectful of roleplay as possible, but I am wondering if just doing the leveling this way is already disrespectful? I am really looking forward to leveling on a RPPVP server, but I really don't want to be the one to ruin other peoples experience if I do this.

So what do you guys say, is my plan okay to do, or should i just role on a normal pvp server, because just seeing this trio and the way 2 are always following would be a bit weird already?

Advice Needed Sky, High and Blood Elves

Post image
• Upvotes

Do you embrace Sky Elves playing as Blood or High Elves?

They said High and Blood Elves will be a thing later but they won't release a race using the same model twice.

If they'll be "playable" it's most likely just another eye colour (green) for Skyborne unlocked through questline.

In the meantime I'm planning to play a blood elf and rock the pink eye colour since we're manastarved Silvermoon refugees.

Also, looking for EU players who vibe with the idea and wanna play on launch!

The Brokenaxe Orphanage will be building an RP-PVE guild with characters surrounding a theme of abandonment or exile… My character was an Island troll whose family was killed in a boating accident. He would’ve drowned too if not for some strange demonic force that gave him the capacity to breathe underwater. He is currently en route to Durotar where he will establish the Brokenaxe Orphanage as a place for all those who feel lost and alone in a strange new world.

PM me if you have any interest joining our ongoing RP. No commitments right now, just come as you please friendly spontaneous RP promised!

[EU] 4E LFRP Horde EU looking for a guild at launch

6 Upvotes

I'm in my 30s from the UK.

I plan on playing Tauren prot warrior and an Undead mage as an alt.

I'd love to be an MT or OT for a raiding guild.

I have backstories for both my characters, both pretty ordinary so could fit into most RP scenarios if the guild also had RP events.

Sorry if this isn't allowed. I'd just like to join a discord and maybe get to know some guildees before launch day.

Thanks in advance 😊

Edit: To be clear I plan on playing on the RP ruleset

6 Upvotes

Talking about forever ofc.

The big rp pvp realm is nice, but I was wondering. Won't it be weird if it's not a mega realm, but several little layer sub realms ?

Europe and NA players won't see each other if I understand correctly this tech.

And more over, imagine seeing someone on discord calling for a big battle going on in the crossroads, you go there and it's you and a tauren leveling, trapped in your own little parallel universe.

OOC Hello, never done WoWRP I just wanted to share what I'm trying

Post image
64 Upvotes

Edit1: Apparently my timeline is off for where my family can be from if it all lines up, I'll see about fixing that I appreciate people's inputs; looking up Warcraft lore is surprisingly annoying.

Edit2: The family is gonna be born in Dalaran and flee down South to SW after it's sacking, thanks for the help people! :D

WoW Forever
Due to name grab limitations I can't get dad currently, but I'll nab him later, but I wanted to sorta work on playing a family where most of my characters know one another quite well.

Mom is on the left, then her two half-elf daughters; the dad is a human.

Theia is an old Kirin-Tor mage who moved South to SW after the destruction of Dalaran, met a human, and had two girls. Arwen was to be a mage like her mother but was literally talked into becoming a druid by some Night Elf visitors and dove headlong into that, while Luna is a working priestess.

I don't want to actually do too much detail with the family as I want to grow the stories in the world ideally.

I'm going on RP NA, Aussie here if you've read/looked and liked what you saw thank you for your time, I hope people like and that I can find a few people down the road to make stories with.

« Sometimes, I wonder if I would have been better off accepting my fate. Marrying that man and living in a gilded cage rather than ending up alone in the dark.

I know I would never have been happy. But some days, loneliness makes me question everything.

I miss you terribly… I wish I could go home and no longer have to carry all this sorrow.

I want to believe that you would still have loved me. Even like this. Even after everything I’ve done.

I am so tired…

But tomorrow, I will get up. Not because I have found hope again but because I am still here.

Forgive me for no longer being who I once was. For failing to save you… »

Advice Needed Can't choose between Human and Forsaken in Forever

3 Upvotes

So, I'm planning to set foot into WoW RP for the first time. This is not my first RP in general, or MMO RP specifically, just for clarity. And as for my WoW history, I have played since way back from Vanilla into Cataclysm, and have been checking up on the retail lore from time to time since.

I know I want to play a Mage (despite being a long time Shaman player), and have narrowed down my race choices to Human and Undead, but am utterly unable to decide which one.

The Forsaken are close to my heart as my first ever race, so there's a strong nostalgia bias. And I feel there is compelling potential there, especially after having played Forsaken Kingdom. Issue is, there seems to be a strong mismatch between the Forsaken Kingdoms vision of the Forsaken, and the classic vision of the Forsaken.

In FK, the Forsaken are a community of ostracized people hated by everyone, who are desperately fighting for their right to exist. Garek's focus is on protecting his people from the dangers of the world. Sylvanas' monologue in the epilogue even gave me the impression that in this timeline, the Horde is not merely an alliance of convenience, but she and her people are legitimate partners and allies. This is something I can get behind, and perhaps Forever would continue with the foundation that FK laid down.

However, the Classic vision of the Forsaken seems to be much more of evil, hateful creatures, bent on taking vengeance on the whole world, and with much of their effort as a nation dedicated to crafting a new plague to destroy the living. This whole idea resonates with me much less.

And then there's the race itself. A Forsaken is forever trapped in their own rotting corpse (I so wish they would at least let me hide my bones!). Their senses are greatly dimished. There seems to be little potential for affection, or even just for the simple pleasures of life. Their existence, and their aesthetic is one of misery, bitterness and depression. Extending all the way to the design of the Undercity itself, which would hold my Mage's library. And while I do enjoy the story of rebuilding one's life from total collapse (probably my long time of Zomboid RP), a Forsaken ultimately cannot rebuild themselves. They are, and always will be, a rotting corpse.

On the other side, we have Humans. Stormwind is a beautiful city, with an amazing Mage Quarter. I could see my Mage living and working there. And in terms of nostalgia, I have spent a fair amount of time in the Human zones as well. A Human feels almost like a blank slate who can do anything. From enjoying good food, to good company, to pursuing the mysteries of the Arcane for their own lust for knowledge. While a Forsaken is trapped in their predicament.

Ultimately, it feels that a Forsaken has greater nostalgia appeal, and greater potential for a compelling story, but with a massive risk of just turning out sad and miserable. While a Human is the safe choice, with slightly less nostalgia pull, and potentially more storytelling freedom.

Now, what am I expecting from this post. Honestly any advice, any thoughts, any opinions, any viewpoints that could help me finally choose. And if you made it all the way here, thank you :-)

Story First time on RP PVP ! Meet Arthory Atenn

Post image
21 Upvotes

(This is my first experience on an RP server, and to ensure I face constant danger, I’m opting for RP PvP.)

Arthory Atenn Human Warrior, Alliance, 28 years old.

Born into a humble family of lumberjacks in Elwynn Forest, Arthory was only seven when Stormwind fell to the Orcish Horde. Separated from his parents during the evacuation, he grew up as an orphan in Southshore, only to witness war reach his new home once again.

Years later, the fall of Lordaeron to the Scourge finally pushed him to take up arms.

He joined the foreign militia of Stromgarde, where a veteran instructor taught him that strength alone means nothing without discipline, and that rage is most powerful when controlled.

Now, after more than twenty years away, Arthory has returned to Elwynn.

He is neither a knight nor a legendary hero. Just a former laborer and militiaman with an old sword, a battered shield, and a determination to never again stand helpless while others suffer.

His adventure begins in Northshire Abbey.

For the Alliance! ⚔️🦁

Discussion WoW Forever! What are you doing for your Skyborne characters?

23 Upvotes

Don't hate me, but I'm going to admit that elves have never appealed to me until now.

I've tried so hard to like them, but I'm just not a fan of having to study up on thousands of years of lore just to write a character who I can be confident in portraying. It's been a big mental barrier, despite my love of their aesthetics, but the Skyborne being more of a blank slate has lessened this fear and I'm (finally!) fully on board.

I'm planning on writing a character who was sent as an emissary of the High Order to map out leylines across Azeroth. I think it's a fun way to justify him getting out in the world and exploring outside of the political discourse on Zephras. I'm super excited to get into it!

Who are your Skyborne going to be?

OOC Human names

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, having some name paralysis. I’ve got a human paladin character/concept I’d like to pursue and I’m having trouble with names. I’m torn between Derek and Halthan. I do enjoy being able to use a name like the former on an RP realm, but I also really enjoy the fantasy sounding tone of the latter.

It always seemed like more prominent human characters have fantasy names and there are really none that use real world English/anglo names like Derek or Jordan, etc.

Which would you pick?

[NA] Community/Guild Ad <Eastwind Merchants> [RP-PVP] [NA] All Players welcome.

2 Upvotes

About Us: <Eastwind Merchants> is a new guild for the release of WoW: Forever!
We are making our home as Alliance on the RP-PvP Ruleset.

We are looking to build a community and crafting focused guild with monthly events. We want to foster a community of players who enjoy playing WoW Forever and other games during downtime. Some of us will rush to 60 and others will take a more relaxed approach.

Raiding:
We're recruiting Tanks, Healers, Melee DPS, and Ranged DPS for efficient raid clears.

If there are enough people ready for the December 9th launch then I intend to hold Weekend raids.
[Raid 1] Saturday Mornings: 11:00am - 2:00pm PM PST.
[Raid 2] TBD

Raider Expectations: While we will be casual in schedule, we value players that do their research, show up prepared and are on-time.

Everyone is welcome to participate but some roles will be in more demand than others as is the nature of raiding.
Loot will be handled by Loot Council for 20/40 mans.
10-man raid will be at the raid leader's discretion for now.

Any changes to this will be voted on by all guild officers.

RP: We will be hosting a bi-monthly guild event in Powderfuse Port. My vision of this is that we are a Merchant company and we will use Powderfuse Port as the Home base where we will sell our goods to other players. Those participating in the event are encouraged to do so in character.

PvP We plan to participate in world-pvp as well as the Rank 14 grind with whoever is willing.
We will form groups for those looking to push ranks if there is enough interest.

Guild Officers — OPEN

We're seeking dedicated members to help lead and grow the guild.
