Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

the writing has actually been pretty good lately tbh. i've been playing since vanilla and the way they write the quests these days makes the storyline more clear, but it still doesn't give credit to individual characters or even the "champion". if you read the lore books the bosses are still taken down by one faction or a joint effort (which has caused all kinds of nerd rage when they give credit to a different faction than people expected).

npcs referred to you as the "champion" as far back as wrath of the lich king because prior to that they didn't really know how they wanted to structure the story. it has never revolved around one guy and still doesn't, and anyone who claims that never gets taken seriously in rp. if anything, instead of only going to and from static quest hubs, the pc is there to support the npcs that you travel around and do things with a lot more than ever before. the story revolves around them a lot more than it revolves around the player character.

I really enjoyed the quest writing in Dragonflight, but I do think TWW is back to you, personally, being integral to saving the world for the thousandth time with Xal'atath following you around whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Shadowlands too which is probably my least favorite expansion; the player character was the super special singular Maw Walker, I feel like it was implied that you and only you could do whatever it was we did with Sylvanas, I don't know, I quit for a while halfway through.

The Legion class hall stuff was a lot of fun to play through, but I do think it made for a big shift from previous expansions in that it practically makes you an official lore character. I liked playing it from a game perspective but I don't consider it as part of my characters' story, if that makes sense.

I don't RP in game as much as I used to but I'd be surprised to see anyone insisting they were the Earthen Ring head honcho or whatever.
