Pregnant Death Knights in Goldshire? A new video amusingly shows what one should do in WoW RP – and what to definitely avoid.
Role players in MMORPGs are usually a strange bunch. By this, I don’t mean role players who discuss their talents and enjoy collecting gear, but rather “real” RPers who live out their role in the game and consider themselves part of the role-playing community.
In the German-speaking WoW area, the server “Die Aldor” is currently probably the busiest RP server that still remains. This also means that among all the role players there, there are some pretty outlandish concepts running around, and players rarely agree on what constitutes “good” and “bad” role play.
In his video “Aldor RP – Chapter 2,” the YouTuber M.N. Machinimas once again highlights the problems that role players in World of Warcraft face day by day. The story seamlessly continues the narrative of the first part:
Thomael of Seenhain, the founder of the “Pregnant Death Knight Lesbians out of Goldshire e.V.,” goes on patrol once again and teaches his prot6 Ming-Chu everything worth knowing about role play. Alongside some beginner tips for newcomers and the usual humor, this time it also addresses questions one should ask before problems arise: Is it really worth it to settle every conflict with other role players? This very dilemma arises when a feared “pack” of Worgen blocks their path. You better check it out yourself and bring some time:
Cortyn says: The second chapter of “Aldor RP” strikes different tones than the first part, but is still quite entertaining. Besides all the clichés surrounding pack Worgen (which probably every role player knows) and the terrible incidents in Goldshire, a significantly more serious and educational note also comes through. I particularly enjoyed the “video guide in the video” and it could work wonderfully as a standalone variant.
It also makes me a little sad, as the video shows: Sometimes, a group stands in the way of role players – themselves.
