Day 2

Went WAY better. We RPed and had a new-comer to WoW (2nd day playing) join our group and RP with us as we moved into Westfall. He seemed very happy to find us as he said he was having trouble in Westfall on his own. He was very patient as we finished up Hogger and he was even in-character when a certain indiscriminate gnome (nice Lanir) flirted with him. In the gnome's defense, the guy was wearing a dress and gnomes can't really be picky... They also currently hail from the land of dwarves so facial hair like that is kinda common in that area, right?

We also taught the new adventurer (Berson) how to tame a Westfall chicken. He was grateful, but he had the idea that this was no pet, but more of a meal-on-the-go option, should he ever be stranded.

We waved, saluted and buffed brave new adventurers as we passed them. Ty was mentioned again, but he still eludes us. People get very quiet when they realize we are not as familiar with him as they are. I suspect it is a cult-following of thankfulness or confidentiality must be important in Ty's great work. We can only hope that our adventures will lead to answers.

There was one lady early in the evening: I hailed her and asked her if she was to kill the pest known as Princess and would like to join us. She did not reply, did not join us and went and killed it herself right in front of us. Then after Pazz ruded her, she followed us around for about 5 minutes, still not saying anything. She did emote at us. People are weird. Overall, the good really outweighed the bad this time!

Thanks to Tehden (Tayden), Lanir (Buzzlug) & Pazzolupo (same) for newb-areaing it up last night for this RP project.

We did get high enough for me to switch to my shaman character, Zelas (14). I had created a lowbie priest just to play with newbie-friends, but since I have a level 36 priest already, I am not interested is re-leveling another.

Sounds like you all are having a lot of fun! It's so weird actually feeling tempted to play WoW again.

We'll make it through this Blue, we just have to stick together.

I have to give a big THANKS to everyone for putting up with me as I struggle through this 10-day trial. Having never played WoW before and being unfamilliar with the lore (oh, and being a straight up awful RPer) I have a lot of difficultly trying to find my "place" as a character. Add this to using push to talk in vent (doing two things at once is hard!) and just generally learning how to play the game, and you've got one confused Dean. But...I'm having fun, so thanks for letting me tag along and being so patient!

If anyone has any RP tips or links for me I would really appreciate it. I'm an utter newb when it comes to being IC and I can take all the help I can get.

just watch the fight scene from The Cable Guy about 20 times

[Maeve]

Did you roll a dwarf? cause they are easy to roleplay, especially for most of us multiplayers. Just act drunk or that you wish you were drunk and drink ale or look for ale all the time.

[Slurm]

ooh, I got it. Role play as a mute, and everyone else can mention to others that you can't talk....just emote while others try to interpret

[Zeli]

tehden:

you are doing fine! I'm so excited just to have people to play with these last couple days.

I just think of RPing as lying and it's much easier to get into.

if we're going too fast, just tell me to shut up or slow down and I will.

HOT

But you have to say, "Silence thy tongue" or "lessen thine haste"

or something....

[Zeli]

Roleplay Multiplaying!

Someone stop her, she's gone logo CRAZY!

Maeve got me to try Champions Online, and I have to admit that I've actually been RPing in that game too.

My character's named CPT Obvious.
