How to Roleplay

[Established Lore] What the game has always held to be true.

Roleplay

Character Ideas

  • A grunt of Orgrimmar, born in the camps.
  • A shaman of the Den, learning the old ways.
  • A warlock of the Cleft of Shadow, hiding a past.
  • An orc mage, a rare student of the arcane. [New in Forever]
  • A farmer or hunter of the Barrens.

Rules of Thumb

  • Do not play Thrall, Grom or Orgrim. They belong to the world.
  • Do not make every orc a brute. That is a story the Alliance tells.
  • Orcs were corrupted, not born evil. Keep the difference.
  • Honor matters. Let your character have a word that means something.
  • Stick to established lore, and check the Forever pages for the orc mage.
