Cross-Realm Area Feature
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/4394326/
This seems to suggest the possibility of cross-realm random RP. Considering the state of some RP/RP-PvP realms, this could be a real saving grace for affected RPers. I think it will have alot of obvious realm lore issues, but on the surface could be good thing.
What do you all think about the possibility of Cross-Realm RP?

This is(has?) already been discussed in the MoP thread where any other Expansion related content is discussed.

It's a big enough change for roleplaying that it merits its own thread. Personally I'm surprised Blizzard didn't just do what this essentially is; A merge between servers of the same type, with zones being split into instances when too many people gather in them. At least then they could give players some at-will control over who they are instanced with, rather than having it based on a decision made long before this system was ever conceived.

Hmm...
So if a group wants to RP in Redridge they will meet other people from other servers that are interested in this? Kinda cool I guess. Downside is ofc that it will be a nightmare to try and schedule events outside capitals.
I must see it implemented before I can even tell how this affects RP.
Hunting for rare mobs will be a nightmare.
Gathering resource nodes will be worse I reckon.
Will gankers be able to just zone into a low level zone and have a smorgasbord of low levels to bully?

If Blizz dont make it so only the rp realms share this, i'll see alot more trolling of rp incoming, and people we cant even report, since they are on a non-rp realm.

Hopefully Blizz will have the intelligence to not screw up their own realm rules by having it:
RP to RP Realm, RP-PvP to RP-PvP realm, etc;
Then again...
RP to RP Realm, RP-PvP to RP-PvP realm, etc;
Then again...

The answer is right in the FAQ: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2772-Cross-Realm-Zones-Coming-to-Beta
"Q. How will this work for PvP vs. PvE realms? Will these realm types be shared?
No. Realm types will be matched with like realm types. So if you’re on a PvE realm, you’ll only be matched with other PvE realms. The same rules will apply for matching RP realm types and will be restricted to matching RP-PvP with RP-PvP and RP-PvE with RP-PvE. We plan to keep an eye on constructive feedback while testing this new technology."

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
Now we'll be getting ganked by all the ABoCs from all the RPPvP servers. Might as well give up RPing in contested zones entirely. Baaaad idea.
Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
They should make it optional...

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
[pretenceangrymode] You fucking weak willed dicks, giving up eh? Hahahaha. You do realize that there will be quite a few more RP'ers around than guilds like ABoC right? Besides, ABoC is only as big a problem as you make them. Stop flaring them up like they're something sinister, they're not.
Besides if you really just don't want to face PVP for some reason:
Q. How will RID groups work? Which realm type would we play on?
If you group up with somebody from a different rule type (via RealID for example) and go into a cross-realm zone you’ll be on the ruleset for that player’s realm type. So, if you’re on a PvP realm and a friend joins your group from a PvE realm and enters a cross-realm zone, the group will be in one of the PvP realm clusters and will use the PvP realm ruleset.
But hey, I'm sure Moonglade or Argent Dawn wouldn't mind a few more players. [/pretenceangrymode]

Looks horrible for role playing, not that I've had much fate on that subject for ages when it came to blizzard. It seems like a move to solve all the low population realms that linger around these days without doing the dreaded "realm closing"

I don't see how this is horrible in any way or form really.
If anything, it's beneficial to RP outside in the world outside the damn cities as we'll see a whole lot more RP out there.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
For just random rp and a sense of "population" I guess it's okay, but imagien a bunch of people hanging around a certain place and suddenly rp'ers from another server, with different stories and no sense of anything start phasing into the area. I can't see how it can help at all.

I'm looking forward to this. Yes there will be problems. But if it brings more life to the empty areas i'm all for it. P.S Purple is the new green *flee*

Naturally there will be problems, but problems are there to be solved. You will love this change once it's in the game, all of you. It's different, and people cry about things that are different, but it's certainly a change for the better.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
I'm crying about this because it's once again putting a large part of their subs on the backburner imo. It'll solve a lot of things definetly, but I just see it as a half desperate move to keep an already old game floating longer. We'll see once it's implimented.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
No, ABoC -is- a problem. Sure, we can gather people and fight them off now. But double ABoC attacking us? Triple? Bear in mind it'd still take just as much time to organize people to fight them, and even longer to find and call in people from other servers.
Being ganked to shit aside, there are other problems. Firstly, good luck all who RP in Stormwind when suddenly half of your guild are in another instance.
It creates random RP in zones? Yeah, with massive restrictions. If the RP takes you and your off-realm RP partner to a different zone, you're screwed. It's also very likely that this could be turned on/off as population fluctuates, so you'll be constantly split up from people.
It makes the world more alive, yeah. But it fractures RP communities and server communities as a whole.
Because no matter what points you put against something, no matter the negatives, you're just a troll and you'll like it when it happens. No. Suck it up and live with it, yeah. Doesn't mean anyone will like it.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
Good point with the random turning on and off.. hadn't thought of that. Remembering that it'll restrict RP to the capitals or at least the zones that doesn't have this feature. If not for everyone at least for me.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
But if you RP in capitals, you could end up in a different instance from the people you usually RP with, and you'll need to join a party with them to ensure you can see each other.
Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
They said they won't instance capitals..? Pretty sure someone posted that.

Re: Cross-Realm Area Feature
Q. What about zones that are already overpopulated, like new race starting zones?
With this technology, we can also flag zones to allow for more than one copy of that zone per realm. Players on that realm will be split among those copies in order to alleviate problems due to overpopulation. Players won’t normally see or interact with those on a different instance of their zone, although joining a party will relocate all party members to a single instance of that zone.
Now you mention it though, doesn't say anything about capitals in that article. I'm sure they gave capitals as an example of zones that would be split, though.

Let me phrase it a final time:
Cities and +83 will NOT be instanced or cross factioned, these areas remain the same. Any high populated area will -not- be instanced, any low populated area will be.
If there's an excessive amount of players (around +200-300 players most likely, there will be a seperate layer created for these people, anyone in your group will be in the same region as you, thereby you can 'choose' which layer you want to be in, or invite everyone over to the layer you are in.
Thereby any and all problems your brains can think of are already solved. Now stop it.
Also note that any RealID friends you have, can be invited to your zone too, if you invite them to party. So you can even bring folks from Argent Dawn in to join the fun as long as they're in your party.

I sense that this is going to be the death of Server lore outside of cities.
