RP is the laughing-stock of all the WoW server genres. Play PvP or PvE. Blackrock, uhh, my alt, Grep.
That is the most bias, unjustified statement I've seen in a while. While PvP and PvE servers are chosen by a lot more players, it's because they're just like you: biased.
Here's some reasons why PvP/PvE servers suck:
1 The average IQ of the population is near room temperature in Alaska.
Here's some reasons why PvP servers suck:
1 PvP servers are stupid. It's the actually the server type that you have least fun PvPing because you reap the least rewards. You're competing with almost every person on the server for a Pvp rank. I've spoken with
numerous people that have 10,000+ honorable kills and are still the first rank. If you ask me, that's really, really lame.
2 PvP servers are stupid. If you like walking around everywhere with the creeping feeling that you're going to get stabbed in the back by a Rogue, I'm happy for you. Whatever humps your camel.
3 PvP servers are stupid. There's more bitching. NEEEERRRFFFF RROOOOGGGGUESS
Here's some reasons why RP servers rule:
1 You're not forced to RP. I don't RP. 1/1000 people give a shit. 1/1000 people are actual RP'ers. There are some that RP but don't give a shit if you do. That's most of the population.
2 The community is much, much more mature. Here's some general dialog of the general channel on a PvP server (based on actual footage):
[1. General]: <Sidoh> Hey, does anyone know where the Darkmoon Fair is?
[1. General]: <Idiot1> in my pants
[1. General]: <Idiot2> LOLOLOLO IN MY PANTS
[1. General]: <Idiot3> in my pants
[1. General]: <Idiot2> LOLOLOLOL
[1. General]: <Idiot4> in pants
[1. General]: <Idiot5> LOL IN UR MOMS PANTS
[1. General]: <Idiot6> UR MOM LOLOLOL
3 The average IQ is actually closer to the temperature in death valley at 2:00PM. You'll have your idiots, but there's idiots everywhere. You can't escape them.
4 Wanna PvP? So be it! There's plenty of people who enjoy PvP on RP servers. Hop in a battlegrounds queue, it's the only way to rank up anyway.
