The Roleplay-PvP Ruleset is Coming to WoW Forever

Developer Aggrend announced on the forums on that a Roleplay-PvP ruleset is coming to WoW Forever. The official podcast had described concerns about adding it and said the team was still discussing it internally; after watching player feedback and spending a few days on it, they decided to go ahead.

What this means for players

  • The Roleplay-PvP ruleset joins the realm types you can choose from at the November 4 launch.
  • As the in-game realm list describes it, this ruleset has strict naming conventions and behavior rules for players who want to immerse themselves as a character, and you are almost always at risk of being attacked by opposing players.
  • Name Reservation begins on Tuesday, October 27. Blizzard says it is working to let you pick this ruleset and reserve names there from that point, but it is not confirmed yet; if you want a name on it, check the realm list for a Roleplay-PvP realm when reservation opens.

Announcement

Greetings,

In a recent episode of the WoW Forever Podcast we discussed some of our concerns with adding a Roleplay-PVP ruleset in WoW Forever, but we also mentioned that we were still discussing the topic internally and watching player feedback. Over the last few days, we’ve carefully examined what it would take to add it to WoW Forever and decided to go for it. We will add a Roleplay-PVP Ruleset for launch on November 4.

We’re also working hard to make it so that you can select the Roleplay-PvP ruleset and reserve names there next week when our Name Reservation period begins on Tuesday, October 27.

We really appreciate the feedback and comments on this.

Thank you!
