Everyone is coming to the RP-PVP server from either traditional RP or PVP servers, some even from normal PVE servers. This has been causing some contention between the two play styles, resulting in what some call 'RP-Elitism', that is Rp'ers being very liberal in their reporting of 'violations.'
Wise words on this issue came from an Orc Shaman by the name of Zhanesia It's a long, but important read:
To the hardcore PvP'ers, consider this: As you are well aware, anyone that complains about being constantly attacked by other players on any server with the PvP ruleset is generally mocked openly.
By that same token, anyone who has a problem with being fully obligated to roleplay on a server with the RP format is equally subject to ridicule. It's precisely the same situation. Here, ideally, nobody will complain about being ganked, nor will they complain about their obligation to portray their character in a manner suited to Warcraft's atmosphere. Anyone who has joined this server has agreed to both of these stipulations.
To the dedicated RP'ers, I say this: I understand that many of you are set in your definition of how roleplay ought to be, what sort of personalities, archetypes, backstories, and other aspects of a roleplayed character are "acceptable".
You need to realize that not everyone shares your views, and strictly speaking, anything is fine so long as the player follows Blizzard's set guidelines--guidelines that don't call for a GM report due to a slip of spelling, grammar, or punctuation, or due to someone playing a character you believe to be inappropriate for Warcraft's setting.
Many people who're immigrants from PvP realms have been in a constant state of paranoia and general bitterness, as they've been subject to GM reports for reasons spanning the spectrum from well-deserved to downright ludicrous.
Those that fall under the "well-deserved" category, those with rediculous names or those who intentionally harass RP'ers don't belong here to begin with, and they know it, but they are nonetheless in the minority.
Under the "ludicrous" category, however, are, for example, those reported simply for spelling errors (Not everyone's a perfect typist, many people have a strongly ingrained habit of using Internet shorthand, and it's difficult to break), or a brief mention of a non-game related subject in General Chat (A ridiculously easy mistake to make, and one that ought to be fully forgivable), or because they're portraying a character that, for some reason, the reporter believes is inappropriate (yet, regardless, is still consistently roleplaying).
Understand this:
Most of the PvP realm expatriates are quite interested in the idea of RP. However, many are very new to experiencing the concept firsthand, though they're here to do so for the first time while still being able to engage in their favorite playstyle.
Nothing alienates the PvP migrants more than scorning them, berating them, ridiculing them, or otherwise mocking them for what some of you may perceive to be their inability to live up to RP standards.
The complaint of "RP Elitism" has been a fairly constant subject over the past few years, and it's bound to become even worse if you, the dedicated RP'er, cannot learn a bit of tolerance for those new to the format, and accept their inevitable slip-ups with graciousness.
In understanding both of these, it's not hard to understand why this "PvP vs. RP" conflict ought not to even exist. This server is a melding of two oft-misunderstood playstyles. I urge everyone, please learn to see it from the other one's perspective, to understand what both PvP and RP mean, and how the people here are, truly, of fully like mind.
We are here to RP. We are here to PvP. Not one or the other, but both. hence RPPVP server.
