Are you a filthy casual that wants to give Roleplaying a try? Well my friend, you have come to an expert! In this video I will try to explain to you a few different kinds of Roleplayers you may come across in your journey across Azeroth - some of them more dangerous than the rest. I hope though that with the help of this list you too can find where you fit in the most in the Roleplaying world. Good luck, weary traveler.

Death Knight: "wh-who are you?"
Demon Hunter: "I'm you... But edgier"
*Feel the edge.*
Shadow's edge....
I need stitches, help
im you but emo
This is too true
I get more social anxiety from RP than I do from real life interactions.
I thought i was the only one!
Exact opposite for me *Shrug*
Same
Turns out you guys are indeed the most insecure cringy virgins in the world. Who would have guessed? Oh right, everyone.
same but i already was isolating myself from reality
When a friend of mine told me, that he has a date with a girl he met at WoW I thought someone is trolling him hard. The day after I asked him about his "date". He said it was good. I thought he is to ashamed to say that he was trolled. One week later he presented me his new gf. It was the fucking girl from WoW. Now they live together and are expecting a child. And they still are playing together WoW...
your friend is a legend
Well time to buy WoW
Itâs crazy how many long term couples meet through online.
I mean in these days of often playing with voice chat and stuff like tinder, does it really surprise you?
Did you just RP here in the comments section...? :O That's pro, real slick RP skills man, well done! :D
You forgot the âIâm related to a significant lore characterâ roleplayer
I am the second cousin of Lord Jaraxxus
I'm Arthas' window cleaner.
I am Sargeras' brother's dog's cousin twice removed.

@@maximillianpainn6496 Maybe in your case
Teal Marjira I wanna meet that character lol
I actually played as a "sit in the corner" guy and the first guy who approched me the first words i wrote were "wanna play go fish?"
sounds fishy
You, I like you.
Hehe yah that's awesome... Have any kings?
Equanox Gamer that woulda been good if it was a paladin i was talking to... >.
I can relate. I don't like disturbing people ir being disturbed myself, so unless it's someone I have interacted with before, I'll just chill and watch the ERPers have their way with each other xD Sometimes Im approached by others and I offer a drink and a chat to see if their character is interesting.
But the best way for withdrawn rpers is probably joining a guild.
I'm more of the type "Paladin who survived the fall of lordaeron and now tries to forget his past by drinking all day long" roleplayer
here here!
+Gershom Ben Dovid
oh goll, this is me
M8 i played that one mission in warcraft 3 Arthas hunted down each and every one of you :D
that actually sounds like a realistic and interesting character! too bad there are like a million other people attempting to be you and failing.
I don't know how that would work. He would have lost his abilities if the pain was so great that his willpower crumbled. Paladins are the pinnacle of humanity, after all, and one of their basic tenants is Tenacity.
Once I did a roleplay with a bunch of people where I had to literally walk all the way from Ironforge to the Hillsbrad Foothills
Senzix Meister How was it?
Maxim Friesen i mean he never replied so i guess he died going there

You forgot the "im arthas son " rper
Probably a subcategory of the "brand fucking new" type.
More of a â God â RPer subtype.

Mary sue?
Smatty
I donât rp in WoW but i seen too many â child of godâ

âhalf wolf â or â my parents died â it drives me nuts
WERE IS THE CREATIVENESS
You fergot one!: "My mother/father is: Jaina, arthas, malf, illidan, uther, thrall"
Yeah this guy is fucking annoying !
You forgot sargeras
and Medivh, how the hell can you forget the Last Guardian QQ!!!!!!!!
Not my mother/father. My character's name is Arthas. :)
Also the "I'm actually a dragon."
I am a sit in the corner guy, not because I am an edgelord, because I have no friends... and I'm tabbed out
Yeah a lot of people go in there to do more than just act cool. SOme people just enjoy watching others rp.
Yeah... bot now I have friends and i now still do it... but now I do it in the cathedral
awww yeah, leveled up.
LEVEL UP! Ding!
I leveled up again, I am now a depressing tier 2 pally... but I am a depressing tier 10 & 2 paladin.
I want to meet a depressing tier 2 paladin
I know right? That actually sounds like an interesting backstory to me.
I tried Military RPing and it's actually not that bad. Well... But master Nixxiom has spoken...
*Cries in corner*
I liked arma 3 units but never even realized that wow had mil-sim units.
Me and my friends have an RP guild on Argent Dawn called "Four Delinquents", consisting of four broke Outland veterans that found passion in acting. So now we set up improvised street theatre in Stormwind (and sometimes Uldum). Come watch our plays.
Oh drat, forgot to say that. Alliance.
Add me on battle net mate.
I remember doing plays on
What server?
+PotatoFox The realm Argent Dawn - Eu
im going to rp as a guy that played vanilla
Role a Death Knight then complain about the current state of the world and how things were so much better back when Cthun was around
No joke there is a guy who RPs Leroy Jenkins on my server and does that lolx
Like a level 58 death knight
+Matiks is his name Jeeroy Lenkins?
Leeroy*
One time I was in Goldshire as a gnome Deathknight (yes I played a gnome sue me) and my name was âPicklestickâ. As I was dancing around in my sombrero, a female Draenei came up to me and asked if I wanted to âtouch her pickleâ. I feared for my virtual life so I grabbed my hearthstone to get out of there. I like to think that In gaming I fear no man or woman, but that thing...... it scared me.
lmao
I wouldn't have minded... ( ° u°)
I've been to goldshire and rped and it wasn't that bad. I was a level 1 priest standing on the street preaching to all the deviants.
I got messages after leaving of people asking me to come back. They thought it was funny too.

"Women don't roleplay"
Most people on discord playing on roleplaying: bruh
RPed once on another mmorpg, we were like 80% certified by discord conversation women in the guild... and few rped male chars, lol
Ya Nerdy Pal I am a woman in real life and I do role play so donât say woman donât role play on wow without proof.
Not gona lie...I'm the depressing Tier 2 Paladin.
I'm the asshole tier 4 paladin that constantly changes his transmogs, and keeps makin' screenshots of his BG and Arena matches where he never died, basically giving him a K/D of, idk.. 2000/50. so.. 40:1.
Now which one's worse :o
It's a great tier though
+Not A Particularly Remarkable Brick -Best reply ever! :D
tell me about your history, and how was survive the fall of lodaeron
TBH I've got a depressing fancy doggo' Worgen melee dude thing on Moon Guard who lost his family and I'm probably gonna turn him into depressing Tier 2 Paladin. Not sure whether to be ashamed or excited.
You forgot the edgy, cockney-accented, master's hat-wearing worgen rogue.
I was looking for this comment!
Explain, please, kind Sir (I've only started an RP character recently and love the server, but I haven't seen anyone like this. I play a Worgen druid).
... I have seen so fucking many of these. It's laughable.
Sooo true!
petricopter n N
"My life is a dark abyss of pain and darkness and hatred" I never would have thought that Deathwing was a roleplayer. XD
Probably most of the girls (me included) don't have the need of specifying all around Azeroth that they are female ;)
Sadly, if you take an unfortunate and shameless stroll down into Goldshire, you'll see a myriad of profiles with "Yes, I'm a girl IRL" in their OOC info. I've seen way too many of these kinds of profiles when I had to go into goldshire for leveling. Luckily, with allied races I no longer have to go anywhere near the place. :D
Or, they all look like honeybooboos mom
Never really understood how knowing that effected anyoneâs gameplay.
Tbh. It's just not worth all the hassle that inevitably comes after
I'm the "100% never breaks character" RPer on my troll priest. I talk with a "jamaican troll" accent all the time, even in whispers. People in my guild seem to like it so i stuck with it :)
Some guy actually picked on me because i talk in character all the time - "You are not a true RPer if you don't talk OOC at all and you don't do specific emotes..." to wich i replied "I iz da crazy witchdocta mon, i do what da spirits in ma hed tell meh an i don give a kodo poop about de rules. I iz what i iz." He gave up a short while after that :)
Dangerosu Dude! I'm the same with all my characters! and I always ignore people who ask me about my personal information like, "Who's your main/alt?" or "how long you been playing?"
Tha spirits in me heed xDDD killed me
I RPed as a lesbian couple and confirming the other person was an actual girl through voice chat until I discovered it was an older overweight lady when I got a friend request on facebook and I was a little more than disturbed
I will never have another IC relationship because of that and the rest of the players are most likely guys and that is just awkward as hell so yeah ima just stick to serious role play
Girls don't have Internet, that's not possible
I avoid IC relationships too, but plenty of people don't find it awkward at all. I have two straight male friends roleplaying a lesbian couple and they're both fully aware the other is male. Granted, I don't think they get into ERP or anything.
gasp you sexist a numbber 9 large i'm telling on you!
kidding aside i can understand this why Skype was invented!
katie campbell I identify as an Eduard Khil, your argument is invalid
Number 10: "I AM MY SCARS!"
Let's be honest. Roleplayers are by far some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Sure there are some assholes amongst them but the vast, vast majority is accepting, tolerant people who are respectful and helpful.
I agree, i met my two best friends through roleplaying, we are friends for 8-9 years so far
You, My friend have not played ARMA 3 RP, basically if you wan't to sell your products you will need a pistol and NVG's and if you're planning to do a big run you will need a convoy with atleast 2 cars since there is probably a gang armed with MG's that will take all your stuff, steal your vehicles and leave you to die. Not saying all players are like this but if you wan't to sell whatever you're product is, you need to do it quickly because, either Gangs/The Mafia, Rebels or Police if what you're selling is illegal they will steal it or worse. It depends.
why does this not have more likes
@@adampc3858 If you don't want to be robbed while roleplaying, don't play a game that allows you to rob people?
Warcraft 3 roleplayers:
The guy that quits right when the game starts.
The guy that quits after some time.
The guy that dcs.
The guy who builds random shit.
The guy who overpowers his hero.
The guy who builds something for the whole game and when he is finally finished everyone has left by that time.
The guy who builds stuff and never actually rps.
The guy who wants to follow the lore really badly.
The guy who battle spanws so many units that there is no way to beat him.
The guy who starts a war without a warning/reason.
The guy that actually takes rping seriously.
HAhahahhaha, that is so true.
And then there is the guy who sets up his SOTDRP map for 6 hours, and then leaves
you can rp in Warcraft 3? gotta try it!
Can confirm, I am the guy who builds stuff and never actually rp. I only play rp maps when I am extremely bored :D
Wow, someone actually brought up Warcraft 3 Roleplaying. I'm the last guy, by the way. But everyone I play with just leaves before anything can happen. But I do applaud you.
There are many more i didnt name, but yeah Warcraft 3 roleplaying is pretty dead.
00:10 how to mess with phone/tablet users
Hey!!
I was beginning to get worried.
Lol i fliped my phone around i was like wtf lol
Bro just listen to your heart
Sans, why?
Words of wisdom bum bum bum
There's also the "Overlzealous Friend/Stalker RPer". You might first come across this fellow if you're hanging out in a tavern or some such, espectially if you play a female character. At first, they might seem decent at what they do, and you're willing to roleplay with them again. But then, after the second or third time, you find that they're suddenly trying to get up in every aspect of your business, at least every other day. They'll hit you up for RP within moments of you logging in, they'll follow you around in the major cities, and they'll go out of their way to look for you in open areas where you might just be looking for some private time. These people also tend to have less of a grasp on separating IC and OOC, and they'll mix in-game drama with actual drama, or try to get your RL personal info after *they think* your character and theirs have gotten close enough.
Personally, this is the only RPer that I go out of my way to try and avoid, and clearly I'm doing a bad job of it, because I have one as I'm typing out this message. Also, I used to be one of these RPers, and looking back, I really am disgusted with myself. But I'm glad to say I've gotten much better. So let me say from firsthand experience from both sides of the spectrum: if you come across one of these people, be honest with them. Tell them to chill the fuck out, and that you have other things you want to do aside from lay your focus on them. They'll either lay off a bit and give you some space, or you'll never hear from them again, and frankly, either one of those is a win for you.
that's cruel bro, maybe the guy felt lonely and just wanted to have a friend
Oh my god yes, somebody does this with me, its so fucking annoying
PvPers and PvEers... You're next.
oh god have mercy on the PvPers!
I likes pvp and pve
Can't wait! Love these lists.
When is the thassarian story gonna be continued?
Roast us hard

I have approximately five years on a Roleplay server and I'm an active roleplayer. Everything Nixxiom said here is true.
Ha ha ha, I was wondering if this video had truth to it.. dammmn. I have to check this out myself XD
other then the fact girls do play wow
I've done some romp myself and well yea 100% this is all true lol
same here.
what if these guys are not rping, but got sucked in the game and don't know about it
Kaiser Morty what about youtube comment roleplayers? ARE THEY TRAPPED IN THE INTERNET?!
that's what i like to imagine tbh
Now I want to see an isekai about some random Goldshire degenerate
This makes me sad. Especially about demon hunter one cause I play one and I really want to rp one so I do my best to avoid cliche pitfalls of demon hunter trope yet me and my character gets judged instantly before I even type a single word.
Acorneyelid Eh, don't worry about it. Make up the story for your character the way YOU want it to be. If people complain about it, it's their own opinion. If you want your Demon Hunter to have a sad/painful past, then I don't see a problem. As long as they don't constantly cry or brags about their tragic life, there's no problem with it. I'm interested in your character, so just be creative :P
My demon hunter is very self-conscious about her horns and wings so tends to be rather shy.
@@tracyboyall2631 that is adorable
That kind of the point of demon hunters though. They have lost everything in life and that has made them desperate enough to travel all the way to Outland to be trained by Illidan for revenge on the Legion.

Death Knight: Suffer well!
To the people that rp as the "mercenary just looking for work" thank you. you are a god among men and some of the most humble and lore friendly RP'ers
I was :) dwarf warrior
tbh that's a really easy rp, just need some random backstory and boom there you go, as a mercenary you are able to not attached to anyone but money, doesn't really need efforts to rp at all.

"Women don't play W.o.W"
~Listening to this in the background while playing W.o.W
Me (25 yr. old woman) : Well.... this is awkward.. lol đ
Either way these videos are really enjoyable to watch on the side while playing, especially on those long quest lines haha.
Eh, the phrase "woman don't play WoW" is mostly a joke term. Woman play WoW, it's just pretty rare you'll find a real one.
One time while RPing, I ended up with one of the "wise druid" types. When my group asked him what to do about garrosh's tyranny, he did a really long monologue, and I was just waiting for some bs answer. Then, he stopped, and he said very specifically, "I don't #$@%$&@ know. (because of filter) Then literally sad down and logged off. Basically, my friend and I were on a skype call and both started cracking up.
I feel bad for the Druid guy, got probably scared :(
That (a "wise Druid" who knows he's not wise) would actually make a decent character.
Is the "Drunk but wise old Pandaren Monk" a bad one?
Funny story, two guys broke the "don't approach the corner guy" rule and tried to make fun of me by asking me dumb questions
I was AFK (guys gotta eat) but by the time I got back they just kept trying to get a rise out of me.
Finally one guy asked "You alive in there?"
I responded with "...zzZZzz..."
I got cursed out and they both left me alone. another guy walked up and told me thought it was funny to see two idiots taunting a sleeping bear.
I responded with "Bah, if they wanted to insult me they should have brought me bad Sake."
He laughed and we parted ways, I then went out and farmed.
nah it's a pretty fun character that not slot of people do so I say go for it
cool, good too know, and thanks
The lesbian couple is hilarious
I have one in my Free Company in FF14. Fuck my life.
*insert comment about **_ha Nixxiom I play wow sometimes and I'm female_** here*

OR they have been born yesterday and totally think girls are a thing in interwebs (...other than those /hacking cough... asian sites...) =D
@@finnishfatman Or....or girls can just...yknow...game too?
Well, im the type of rper that gets lost in stormwind untill he gives up and quits because he is too shy to ask directions.
You forgot Lore Nazis.
When your a girl who plays wow and role play, and I begin to fade out of existence
My first time roleplaying was not intentional lol. I was just derping around in the park of SW when a druid in cat form came up to me. I tried talking to him, but he just said "rawr rawr" lol. Then shortly after a hunter came who apparently was looking for his pet (the druid). Then for some reason I went to the tavern with him and we just sat around at a table talking with a bunch of other people too. It was nice.
Nixxiom... in my early days of RP, I asked an elder druid for help, he said that exact thing "just listen to your heart." but then, afterwards I went to Moon Guard's local drunkard, and he gave me better advice than the elder druid. Also, you read me like a book, I am a depressing tier 2 pally.
You forgot. Furries.
SoylentGamer ahem, you called?
+Elibrius Project Hello, kin!
...and pandaren
SoylentGamer hey ^^
I regret everyday that I made my only rp character a worgen. He is JUST a fisherman. He doesn't want to get into some weird BDSM stuff! He wants to fish. Just to simply fish.
Number one rule of WOW RP:
Never let the dirty peasant talk to god.
I actually want to see that.
I used to be the "sit-in-corner" RP guy on a PvP server. And it actually worked doing RP on a PvP server, many people liked it :D
I am the guy in the corner, but not because I want to act like such a COOOOOOOL DUUUUDE, but because nobody wants to rp with me :c
Don't feel too bad. I play "talk to me first" girl a lot, just because I can't think of a good reason to talk to a bunch of edgelords I don't know. XD
Omg.. thatâs so sad
Domikro Videos What is your world of world craft name?
I'll roleplay with you if you're that lonely :3
But Domi! They ARE roleplaying with you! :O Here, I'll do it with you now... Go sit on that corner and be quiet!
See! =D
Wait, did you just turn towards us? Face towards the corner!
That's how people RP with you, so take joy in it. You're part of their RP =)
**is a woman**
**wants to roleplay in WoW**
...
Haha, nevermind đ
Oh god, but I'm straight af so I am NOT gonna be in that situation
Majority of people in my servers Discord are women tbh.. I myself am a woman who RPs and I have no problems.
Also a woman, who plays female chars, and has also RP'd. Will not ERP. Except occasionally with my male char and his boyfriend. :D
Same! I really really wanna learn and play but hngggg the toxicity. Also school. Schoo will kill me faster than the game HAHAbutpls
I'm not a WOMAN, but I'm a girl (This is my dad's account) that plays WoW, I love it ^_^
you forgot the " im a salesmen roleplayer" i was on my druid this guy was in a shop *trying* to sell flowers and boquets....
Hey hey I love the salesmen roleplayers!
I've been roleplaying for years and recognize every one of these types of roleplayers, they are all annoying, especially the guys who sit in the corner cuz they think they are so awesome kind they really suck in D&D games, the new guys you don't mind so much, because they are new, you can help them learn, but damn you really get sick of the edgelords and control freaks.
ShadowmarkReturns I once thought of Roleplaying as that guy when I was starting to RP, luckily I quickly dismissed the idea... phew đ
Bet ya had more fun too.
ShadowmarkReturns yup!
Good!
ShadowmarkReturns
I never Rp on WoW but I have rpd on a different game..does that count as the new rper?
you forgot the "I was the lover/husband/wife of *insert their favorite famous Warcraft character here*"
Can't forget the "I'm half dragon, half vampire" bloodelf rpers
I still find that hallarious. Especially now.
This video really shaped how I roleplay my DK. Thanks, Nix!
I really really enjoyed this video. I have toyed with the idea of giving RPing a try, but have no idea where or how to begin. Do I join a RP server to get the full gamit of characters and stories? Or do I just start on the server I am on? [forget that idea ... we only have 4 people]. Would someone help me out with advice for a beginner? My character would be a female NE druid. I have even created a little bit of her life story. Thanks to anyone who can get me started.
I'll give you a quick guide on roleplaying:
Step 1: Go on an RP server (high/medium populated to get the maximum amount of RP) You *can* go on an RPPVP server as well but for a new roleplayer I think it's best to stick with strictly RP servers
Step 2: Make sure you're not any of the people on the list in the video. Please. We have way more than enough.
Step 3: Choose what RP class you wanna play. Since you're a druid the most obvious class would be... druid. Not a big surprise. But you could go with some druid-like class like a shapeshifter or something. But for a new roleplayer, you should probably stick to the playable classes for now.
Step 4: Get an RP addon (MRP, TRP, XRP etc.) I mean, it's not required, but it would help out a lot and people are more likely to approach you if you have an RP addon as you look a bit more "professional". Oh, and because you're new to roleplaying, whatever RP addon you get, make sure to fill in that you are a "Beginner roleplayer". Far too many times do I see someone filling in "Experienced roleplayer" and then their story makes no sense, they have awful grammar and are just bad at roleplaying. So make sure you fill in that you are a beginner roleplayer for now, and when you get better you can go up to "Casual roleplayer" then "Normal roleplayer" and so on. Fill in as many things as you can in the addon.
Step 5: Get a decent backstory (you can write it in your RP addon of choice) but don't go too edgy. Just keep it simple for now and expand it over time.
Step 6: Think in your character's shoes. Why are they here? What is their cause? What is their passion? When you have figured that out mold your roleplaying style after that. By that I mean, if you're a druid who's very caring for the nature and you spend all your time in the nature, then your roleplaying style could be that you want to stop the orcs cutting down all the trees in Ashenvale, or maybe you want to help out in Felwood. Whatever your character is passionate about, mold your roleplaying style after that.
Step 7: Choose where you want to roleplay. Cathedral Quarter for Alliance roleplay is pretty populated on most RP servers and you can find new people there but there are a lot of places in the capitals as well as in towns like Darkshire and Booty Bay with some nice roleplay. Just... uh... avoid Goldshire.
Step 8: This is very optional, but finding a roleplaying guild can be really fun. There are quite a lot of druid-ish guilds that you could join. I remember when I was in a troll only tribal guild where we went out on adventures together and had big celebrations in troll cities, or when I was in a horde vanguard guild riding around and securing strongholds for the Horde. Some of my best moments as a roleplayer was when I was in a guild so you might wanna check that out if you want to.
I just realized this *a lot* of text but I hope it will help you becoming a roleplayer. :)
Thank you for writing this up, Jonathan. It's a great guide for anyone who would like to try out RP. Also, Zethrael, don't get in the impression that RPers as a bad as I make them out to be in my videos. I tease RPers because I myself was a RPer for years, so I like to laugh at myself every so often. It helps keep me humble. They're good folk and I think you'll have a great time RPing as you explore it further. :)
Jonathan Dahlberg Thank you so much, Jonathan. This is a terrific guide, and very easy to follow. I appreciate the time you took to get me on the right path with this great advice. All the best to you!
Nixxiom Thank you, Nixxiom, for the video. It gave me the impetus to quit stalling and give RPing a go. Love the work you do - you are the very best!
Zethrael of Teldrassil Good luck with your roleplaying!
The best part about this video is the people in the comments who can't detect sarcasm even though it's absolutely seeping from the pores. Good job Nixx.
Dude, I canât even - your commentary is fâing hilarious! đ đđ€Łđ
Love your videos dude
"I'm Done!!!" (sound of door slam, car peeling off) đđđ
lol fucking hate it when people say women don't play wow or women don't play games when there are 2 women in my house that do
It's a meme Ya dip.
\-ChloeMendes-/ Lmao it's a running joke that women don't play games.
I'm just the "Sword for hire" kinda role player...
Edgy... I like it.
I remember the first time I met a role-player, I was in dungeon finder and we got this mage who was 'really shy'. The guy had voice macros going in combat and everything, it was fantastic.
Now I'm actually imagining a DH RPer and the Tavern corner guy sitting next to each other for hours, not a single word spoken until one of them just looks at the other and simply goes "soooo, what're you doing later?"
I'm cringing at the people taking this video seriously.
+ Kalgert, thats what i thought as well! :P
I'm wincing at the fact that you probably use the word "cringe" on a regular basis.
Pencil Breaker You should go to the doctor then and get that checked. :c
+Carol-Jeanette Foreman I personally want to get into role-playing for these reasons
I didn't know wincing was a medical condition. Funny how important stuff like that gets made up just to win an argument. You could've taken it like a champ, but nope.
You forgot the dwarves and pandaren Innkeepers who fight to decide who run the inn
That actually sounds like a fun thing to witness.
ofc it is
thats why pandaren join the horde, no competition there for innkeepers ;D
I played as one of those... Twice... DX
What about the drunk dwarf? He's either muttering something in Eredun or running around IF like a crazy person.
I like that you describe the many role-players across Azeroth to be lurking
Iâm the âI watched full metal jacket one time and so now I want to be a military Rperâ rper
I play World of Warcraft every day. and I'm a woman xD
Josephine Lauber You think you are, but you are not. Girls do not play wow. Long time ago I was in your position and thought i was a female player. But then the internet told me that this is simply not possible. That my existence is a lie. I hope you will soon realise this, too...
;)
Namina đ lmao
I am a girl too xP and I play WOW sometimes well i don't got game time now tho ;c
YOU are my favorite person on the internet as of this moment.
Why does she get thumbs up just for saying that? Can anyone say undeserved attention?
But...I'm a woman...and I role play....and there's plenty of other women too they just dont tell people..
Wich is problably for the best!
Video Game Girl16 I feel you. Haha sometimes people ask '' are you a girl? '' and when I say yes they just don't seem to believe haha
+Stellα Cαroline I guess it's because a lot of guys fake it lol.
+SunsetAmethyst I guess so lol
Hahaha, you're right XD
Never get tired of this nixxiom's videos
The "approach me first, I'll be sitting alone in the back corner because I'm too f*** cool to come and talk to you" are they really like that or is it that they are just that immersed in the game to talk to you?
Great Video btw
Question, are all roleplayers sweaty?
Yes, every single on of us
Ilowa im dry.
Ilowa no
Nah. I actually have anhidrosis. I overheat instead of sweat and it's _fucking_ terrible. Being unable to sweat sounds like heaven on earth, but believe me, it's not. You overheat badly and it's difficult to cool down and in like the slightest heat you end up overheating. Also, it's a fairly high risk to get heat stroke/sunstroke.
Ilowa I only sweat when it's 80° outside. *shrugs*
One question. Why do you even bringing the person behind the screen? Isn't roleplaying suppose to not even care about it?
This is somehow accurate to this day AND outside of WOW and into other kinds of role plays
I flipped my phone over at 0:09, then flipped it again... I was very confused lmao
Girls who play wow unite đđ»
Bailey Williams ye
Wooo đ
*Unites*
Bailey Williams I'm..I need all your wow I.D's for research purposes.
Hell fucking yeah đ
Soooooo... Is every rolplayer a sweaty 12-14 yo?
I'm 15, so not every roleplayer is 12-14.
Or sweaty.
But I am a day one rper.
Mostly yeah
I'm 17 and ... oh wait i don't rp.
im 16 and i rp o.e
I'm a very proud 14 year old, thank you very much!
I just started playing WoW and love it. Thinking about RP and this is fecking brilliant.
I became curious and had a look at a roleplay server last night. I got into a full conversation with another player and I'm now wanting to try.
its true women do not play wow.. I am a potato. I know thsi
I'm a carrot
Its not true. I'm a real female that play's in warcraft.
i'm a majestic dolphin and i agree
Painted wall weed, that's my story and sticking to it.
alaskan2007 its a joke, I have been playing wow for 7 years now. and I hear this a lot. hahaha
Number 11: Joakim Broadmantle. This is a roleplayer who goes by the name listed above. He stands on a bridge all day and does nothing. That's it. That's literally all he does. No one knows if he's edgy or not, because no one's been able to have more than a five word conversation with him.
Holy shit yes! I've seen that guy. The one lonely bridge guy...
What server is this guy on??
Argent Dawn EU. Usually on the bridge between the cathedral district and the dwarven district.
Something is wrong with my day if I don't see him
NeonJedi I get worried about him if he's not there, I think maybe he's ill ;-;
You are the best I'm so glad I subbed
It's funny to heard you outside of PD. You have a nice voice ^^
Nixx I can tell you that I did military to in a CLEAN LIVING ROOM! I am offended đ
rp not to đ stupid autocorrect
My living room was never quite clean and worse yet, my dishwasher was broke... always... broke...
deal with it
I notice the conspicuous absence of detail about your actual room ;P
đ my room is tiny and shared with a annoying 9 year old .. creaky uneven floors too - not a good wow environment if you ask me đđ
what do you mean girls dont play wow?! :c I want to get into Roleplaying, but I hate the idea of 'cybering' lmao.
Pick a server other than Moonguard, and don't hang out in Goldshire. If someone wants to flirt with you after you've asked them not to, you can always put them on your ignore list and I doubt all role players do erotic role play. I think that's mostly a Goldshire thing.
It's a rather common joke that women don't play video games and such, despite the fact that everyone is aware that they do
Honestly, I have been roleplaying for 3 years now on Argent Dawn EU. You do not need to ERP/cyber. There are so many ways of avoiding it. And no one will force you. Try it out, haha.
Thanks guys :) I used to roleplay a lot in other games, I loved it. Roleplaying in general is awesome, I think most can agree that starting out roleplaying in wow is a scary thing :P
+Bree_ Scary as it might be, ultimately, it has been one of my most rewarding gaming experiences.
Bro this just golden
I can't stress enough how true this list is...
i did not expect the "i watched Full Metal Jacket one time and so now i wanna be a military RPer" RPer xD
I didn't touch wow for a while. do people actually roleplay on servers again? if yes on what servers? sorry :/
This Guy is on Moonguard-US. He thinks all Goldshires are like Moonguard-US xD
At least, on Argent Dawn, there's some really nice rp'ers. Especially RP guild leaders, those people are AMAZING (usually) (those I know)
Paratela sisters of elune server has freaks too
When I played WoW Wyrmrest Accord was pretty good.
You obviusly havent been to goldshire there. Ive played on moon gaurd and this is the eu servers answer to it
Hey, Nixxiom! Think there's a difference between the token guard RPer and a military RPer?
Very good observation dude. Good video
*is a girl* welp I guess I'm not a girl anymore bye guys
He's joking
Girs become men, *manly men*, on the INTERNET.
It's inevitable.
I really hope you meant that as a joke cause half my life i've had tits and a period so m pretty sure i'm a girl.
Rose Winchester Refered to number 5 :)
I play wow with a girlfriend, girls do play wow lol.
#5 made me laugh my ass off. But it gave me an idea. Maybe I can RP as a gay guy, that could be fun. it wouldn't be any more uncomfortable than romancing a guy in Mass Effect. Only difference is there's another person at the end.
Demitrium I wanna do that too! And collect dresses for your toon and flirt and befriend all the females. đ
RP looks cool, i think i'll give It a try.
Hey Nix, man I LOVE your videos, always bring a smile to my face no matter how shitty things are for me! I gotta say though, you REALLY should do a sequel to this! My mother doesn't even like video games, and she loved this video and makes jokes about it going on two years! Love your vids man!
