Breakfast Topic: Where are the best special-occasion roleplaying spots in Pandaria?
OK, roleplayers, let's share some secret spots. Mists makes it pretty easy to find beautiful locations for special occasions. Pandaria is just so darn gorgeous! Still, sometimes a roleplaying occasion calls for something in particular: a wedding gazebo, a serene spot for a memorial, a plaza for a fireworks celebration ... A couple of years ago, Dawn Moore offered up some wonderful roleplaying locales for the Cataclysm era. Then just last week, Anne Stickney gave us some ideas for everyday roleplaying hubs in Pandaria. You have to admit that idea about commandeering one of the deserted ships from Kun-Lai Summit/Jade Forest is sheer genius! But what about just the right spot for a one-off occasion? Those are the sort of settings that are the trickiest to track down. Where would you go for a wedding ceremony in Pandaria? What about something small like a birthday party, or something large like a community fireworks celebration? (Yeah, I'm thinking the potential for this next Lunar Festival has a reach much, much longer than Moonglade.) How about a sober yet uplifting setting for a memorial service? Have you stumbled across any locations in Pandaria that seem to be crying out to be filled by some sort of quirky special event -- someplace eerie or creepy, silly, formal and judicial...? You don't have to be a roleplayer to contribute to our list of ideas. What nooks and crannies have you discovered during your travels in Pandaria that seem to be perfect for a special occasion?
5 Kalimdor getaways for vacationing roleplayers
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In World of Warcraft, that player is you! Each week, Anne Stickney brings you All the World's a Stage with helpful hints, tips and tricks on the art of roleplay in WoW. Last week we took a look at five great cities for roleplay -- but what if your character is looking for someplace away from all the hustle and bustle of a big city? After all, many characters have just spent a terribly long time fighting back Deathwing and the assorted enemies of the Twilight's Hammer. Maybe your character would just like to get away from it all and take a well-deserved vacation. The Shattering and subsequent land grabs have guaranteed that there's conflict around every corner in Kalimdor, so where's a character supposed to go to get away? Everyone knows about Gallywix's Pleasure Palace up in Azshara. With its relaxing pool complete with golf course and bar, it's a swank little vacation spot for roleplayers -- well, for Horde roleplayers, that is. The place is tended by goblins affiliated with the Bilgewater Cartel, which doesn't quite work for Alliance players. So why don't we play travel agent and take a look at five locations that are accessible and open to either side of the faction coin in the quiet corners of Kalimdor, far away from conflict and the rigors of war.
