I went around asking roleplayers their thoughts on all these attacks and how they felt knowing it was happening on their server.

#Stand up to bullies wow legion series#

Once I told them off after a series of terrible interactions, I received this message, attacking my job that I had at the time. I recall having a discussion with one of these people, someone who hides behind their computer screen, relying on anonymity to conduct their malicious orchestra of personal attacks. This conversation on Discord is about a RPer being threatened of being DDoSвЂ™d by another player, a now common worry for those on Moon Guard.ДЄ recent Blizzard ticket response shows the biggest problem on Moon Guard, people using third-party applications in order to hide their malicious intent. This is where the downfall of Moon GuardвЂ™s good nature took place. Until communities launch with Battle for Azeroth, Discord is the go to spot for roleplayers to create massive networks where they can create a community, and really build RP under their vision. The biggest source of drama happens in a no manвЂ™s land, where the Blizzard GMs canвЂ™t find you. Some of what you see will be graphic, words will be vulgar/racist and I will do my absolute best to keep everything as anonymous as possible. Through the course of this rather long article about the community of Moon Guard, I will be showing you screenshots, quotes from players of the community, and my own experiences in the dangers of playing on this once beloved role play server. They resort to bullying, DDoSing, Guild infiltration, manipulation, and orchestration of a myriad of schemes, just to ensure they can remain influential. But it seems for some groups on Moon Guard, the separation of IC and OOC is impossible. Any Dungeons and Dragons player will instantly recognize this as In Game and Out of Game. In Character is what their character says and how their character feels in the game. OOC communication and feelings are what the person, the player, feels when they communicate as themselves. OOC is Out of Character and IC is In Character. Unfortunately these have become common complaints on the Moon Guard server, people trying desperately to hold on to influence they have on it.ДЇor roleplayers, there is a saying, вЂњKeep the OOC and the IC separateвЂќ. In the year I have spent as a part of this community, I have witnessed people threatening to DDoS people and IвЂ™ve seen groups work to infiltrate guilds in order to destroy competition.

The largest role play server for North American players, Moon Guard, is known for its infamous Goldshire Inn, but it also had another reason to rise to infamy in the past year, cyber-bullying. They create their own content, their only limitation being their imaginations and their ability to work together.

But theyвЂ™re possibly the most dedicated fans of the game, being able to entertain themselves between content luls by creating storylines with each other, each day being different/more fun than the last. Many World of Warcraft players treat roleplayers like a lesser form of a player, theyвЂ™re typically the butt of the communityвЂ™s jokes. For many this is a time to play other games, but for a community of roleplayers, this is the time where they can truly immerse themselves into their characters and roleplay to their heartвЂ™s content without the allure of raiding and doing content splitting their attention. As the final wing of World of WarcraftвЂ™s last raid for Legion is released on their LFR system, things will be slowing down content wise for World of Warcraft until WoWвЂ™s next expansion, Battle for Azeroth, is released.
