Explained my experience exactly. I've playing WoW casually for about 2 years on a PvP server, and I decided I wanted to try the RP servers. I thought it would be cool to pretend to be a Tauren druid ridding the world of nature threatening evils, with other people playing in character. What could be more fun than that? I wouldn't take the RP too hardcore just for a few hours of fun every week.

So I create my character on Lightninghoof expecting that, to a huge disapointment of almost no one talking in character except for in their guilds. Kinda sadden me to see that, I wanted a true RP experience based on the WoW lore, not some Blood Elf vampire crap.

I think to improve RP in 2008 people need to come together to keep the community active and fun. I think a monthly State of the Realm would be a good way to keep up on the Active RPing Guilds and the precieved active RPers vs. Non. The only way to truely improve a realm is to stay in character at all times to help encourage other players to do so, even in general channels (except for in a private chat with friends). I for one am going into a new realm friendless, hoping that I can experience a true RP game.
