Well, the whole scourge thing was all rp lol!

ZA post-nerf is like most content now about a tier lower than it was before. My guild was 7/9 BT prior to the nerf, and have killed Kalec and Brut quickly on first night of attempts 3.0. So go for it!

I have yet to get past Hex lord. Mostly due to the fact i raid LATE at night so by the time we get there its near 2 am and everyone is NOT at the top of there game…albeit i have not been in there since the nerf so i would love to do it now and see how it goes

That dang Gong though is the longest fight in the place. if ANYthing needs to be nerfed its that stupid gong…lol

Great job and clearing the place.I love to read a good story about what happened to you all. The RP done i think is just fun. harder to do when you are all in vent. But its fun to actually think as your character and respond the way you imagine he would respond.. My rogue is extremely fond of your mom jokes in game. never misses an op to zing a fellow group member.He gets invited a lot to groups for comic re leaf some times.

Grats for clearing ZA! We hit three chests this week, but failed on the fourth. Reading your gong story makes me feel better, because we ‘wiped’ on the gong boss twice as well. Just as I had opened the ticket, it worked. Bizarre!

I love the atmosphere of ZA and Karazhan both. I think Zul’Gurub had a little more flair, but Zul’Aman is a very gorgeous instance, IMHO.

Well to be fair, they didn’t “insist” on it. It was just obvious how they didn’t participate in chat and the more RP-appropriate thingy helped (I just asked people to use character’s names instead of ‘the rogue’ and tried to keep the all-too-non-rp-fitting words, like abbreviations and stat-talk, at a minimum. Little gestures go a long way and it really doesn’t hurt to type “Congratulations!” instead of “Gz!”).

After all it really added to the atmosphere and helped to remind us that we’re playing characters in a fantasy world, not only smash buttons on an arcade machine :)

Oh, and I guess for a real RP-fan Zul’Aman is pretty boring. If I come to think of it, most of BC-content doesn’t really provide much atmosphere. Pre-BC content did a much better job on that (I hated Silithus too, but the whole thing just made a lot of sense story-wise and “worked” as a themed area – BC is pretty much just an assemblance of stuff without much flair to it).

Wow, that’s some dedicated RPers there!
I’ve never been in a raid with folks who insisted people engage in ‘RP-appropriate talk.’ Not my style at all, but could be fun. ;)
