Roleplay

So you want to roleplay a Monk, but maybe you're not sure of what kind of origin story to use.

We've talked a lot about developing your character and interacting with other players -- the nuts and bolts of roleplay, both the creation aspects and the writing aspects.

We had a pretty good question on this week's podcast regarding how to handle taking breaks in roleplaying -- whether or not you weave breaks from WoW into the narrative of your character.

The title of this column might seem a little odd to some.

When I first began playing World of Warcraft back in 2004, I didn't have a clear idea of exactly how to play the game.

I've never been a melee fan.

World of Warcraft wasn't exactly created with roleplayers in mind.

Last week, we discussed the basics of the Alliance faction -- which races are available to play, and the kind of plot points you can expect to see with each race.

We've had several columns now where we've talked about developing and creating a character -- the basics of story creation, setting up character profiles, and even some of the basics of beginner roleplay.
