Roleplaying on the Server
While at first it may seem that little RP occurs, it only takes a short while for a good Roleplayer to get involved in a universally connected community. RP on Wyrmrest accord is not only prevalent, but immersive and involving (when you find it). There are two distinct factional cultures (as most servers have) with the perspective amounts of RP measuring about the same, but expressed through different mediums. Both factions schedule regular RP events, and the server could always use more additions to the Roleplaying community. This is owed to the mass exodus of Roleplayers from RPPvP servers and a good number from the other Roleplaying realms. From the beginning there was a great interest in fostering an active and connected Roleplaying community on the server. See The Wyrmrest Accord Website

Alliance side has a great deal of public Roleplaying, especially in Stormwind city. While some of its denizens are a smidge lax in their application of the lore, it is nevertheless conducive to a good time. Joining a guild typically increases the quality of storylines one can participate in.

Horde side is slightly more clannish, your best bet here is to find a good guild, apply, and join in on the fun. There is great variety to choose from, and while you have to root out the guild that is right for you, someone is always recruiting. There is a great deal of public Roleplaying in Silvermoon and Dalaran.

There are some rather unconventional options for Horde Roleplaying as well. An Open Mic, which allows players to showcase their creative talents in-character or out, occurs every Monday night in Mulgore, and a Meta RP event, which allows players to roleplay outside the boundaries of traditional lore and RP rules (occurs every Wednesday in different locations).

The Covenant of Wyrmrest Accord
Posted by Huatar on the Wyrmrest Accord Server Forums:

The credit for this goes to a very old roleplayer of Kirin Tor, Sesobael the High Proctor of the Poor Sages of Lordaeron, I hope what he has wrote affects Wyrmrest Accord in good ways in this present and it's future. The link to the original covenant will be at the bottom.

So now I make to you this covenant, and if you agree, you can join in.

I will treat my fellow World of Warcraft players respectfully on an Out-of-Character level even when they don't seem to deserve it. I don't know what sort of day they've had.

I will not respond to immaturity with further immaturity.

I will acknowledge and respect the roleplaying choices of other people, even if I don't understand them. This includes the choice not to roleplay at all. I do reserve the right to respond in-character how my character would normally react, even if that would not be positively, but I will bear no animosity to the player of the other character.

I will offer friendly advice and criticism, but back off if it is not wanted. You just have to tell me to do so.

I will listen to offered advice and consider it. I can't promise to follow it, but I won't dismiss it out-of-hand.

I will name all of my characters appropriately and according to RP realm naming conventions.

I will not use leetspeak, excessive abbreviations, "lol" or the like while in-character, as they could be damaging to other people's roleplaying mood.

I will try not to hold a grudge about loot or PvP. It's only a game. The character on the screen is not me, it's just a video avatar associated with a long string of semi-personalized numbers.

I will not go to another realm's forum and complain about their behavior on the Battlegrounds. I'd like to show some dignity and class so perhaps players from those realms will start treating us the same way.

If I am having a problem that I can't resolve myself, I will ask for help. There is no shame in asking for assistance, and a fresh perspective might be just what is needed.

I will play World of Warcraft to have fun. If I stop having fun, I will stop playing. If it becomes inconvenient to play due to real-life circumstances, I will stop playing. It doesn't necessarally mean that the other players on Wyrmchrest Accord have done anything wrong. No, you can't have my stuff, I might come back someday. Seriously. Sheesh.

I will respect the time and decisions of the game masters, designers, forum moderators, public relations representatives, and other employees of Blizzard, even if I don't agree with them. These people put a lot of time and effort into making our gaming experience worthwhile for everyone, and are just trying to do their job within the constraints given to them by the company, its parent's company, and the law of the land. If I have an issue which needs to be regarded, I will go through the proper channels.

I will abide by the various terms of use and service that I signed when first installing the game or logging onto the forums. I will remain good to my word.

I reserve the right to add or remove aspects of this covenant, and to respect the decisions of others with regards to the covenant. It must be, and is, a self-regulating code of honor. I will not look down on others for not ascribing to the covenant.

I will encourage roleplay on the forums by bumping, reading, responding to it with positive and helpful attention. (Credit goes to Esis)

I will go to as many events, run by as many people, as possible. I will invite as many people as I can.(Credit goes to Esis)

Collected players of Wyrmrest Accord, thank you for your time. Sincerely,

The player of Sesobael alias "Simon Bale" known as "High Proctor of the Poor Sages of Lordaeron"

Artists of the Accord
Wyrmrest Accord community members with an artistic aptitude have branched out to create a group on DeviantArt. Known as Artists of the Accord, players can post and share images of their own work, mediums ranging from altered screenshots to digital and traditional art.

Wyrmrest Accord IC Twitter Project
Fromwizzle, a gnome mage, heads a post for the Wyrmrest Accord in-character Twitter project. The idea is to create a Twitter account for your character(s)to keep up to date on the latest news with one another in an immersive environment. The rules are simple: "Keep it 100% in-character. No OOC. Your account can only follow players/characters participating in the project--this will help us expand the project community simply by seeing who people are following. Following non-participants of this project with your character Twitter account will only lead to other participants having to filter through people you're following, so let's all try to stick to the rules!"

A forum thread has been stickied by Blizzard to allow players to view Fromwizzle's post and participate. The thread lists all current Twitter members so you can follow them, and by replying to the thread you can add your own Character Name/Twitter so others can follow you.

Regular Events

 * Brightmoon FAIR Market
