On the EU forums there's been a rumbling flame war since the announcement that there would be a RP PvP server about 2 months ago. This has probably served to entrench people's negative views (ie that RPers are a bunch of stuck-up elitists and PvPers are a bunch of childish griefers)
I'm expecting a fair amount of bad temper tomorrow - lots of people being /reported for being out of character, lots of corpse camping and ganking
I also think there's a lot to look forward to and I think there's enormous scope to RP in WoW. I think where the RP experience has been fairly sedate so far these servers will be much more animated. Some people have generalised in the past that RP WoW is simply WoW without Barrens Chat - I think these servers will have a genuinely different feel. I wonder how you say "OMG I just got ganked" in RP? :rolleyes:
I'll be making a Paladin on the EU English language server. I'm looking forward to trying to talk Priests out of casting evil magics and Warlocks out of summoning Demons and stealing souls. I'd love to hook up with other Lurkers there
