Hey there.
Well, it looks like I could no longer resist the urge to play WoW. I recently got a new computer that could handle it, so here I am. I have played and loved my fair share of table top RPGs, but I don't know anyone that's into that kind of thing these days, so a MMORPG seemed like a great idea, but I wanted some good role playing, not ppl talking about crap in their boring daily lives, which was my experience with Final Fantasy online years back.
So, I read up a little and decided to sign up in Moon Guard. I love my character, but I'm afraid I may have made a poor choice for role playing. I wanted to be a warlock, but I couldn't choose Blood Elf as I don't have the expansion yet. Humans seemed too bland, so I cooked up a backstory for an undead character. Now, however, I'm afraid playing as undead, or even Horde for that matter is going to limit my role playing alot. I didn't realize I couldn't communicate with other factions....
So, is it a poor choice for role playing? His name is Xarial and he's partially amnesic and in shock from just waking up. He just remembers that name, and his one true love. He seems to remember being human, maybe....I want him to be this kind of emo character stuck on this chick that may or may not even still be alive. I think I want there to be some kind of Lich manipulation to cause his death, not sure, still working out the details of the true backstory. He doesn't care anything about the Lich King or undead society or the horde, he just wants to see this chick again, but now he's a fracking corpse. He realizes he can summon demons somehow, so turns to them for companionship because the human world he was once part of is now lost to him forever.
See....I like the idea of this guy, but I'm not sure if that faction or race is good for RPGing. Any suggestions? Thanks and hi!
